I can’t spell most of it, let alone pronounce it; but I like it. My favourites (sorry about the spelling) are:

cam tay cam  
nihm nuong  
bahn xieo  
bun cha Hanoi  
tam cam bi cha thit nuong

And lest we forget, cafe sua da to drink!

Since this thread was intended to be a response to an existing thread and is thus a little disjointed, I’ll close this copy. Feel free to open a Vietnamese food thread in MPSIMS or IMHO.
