cute viet words

viet is the cutest language in the world check these out:

  • cá mập - shark, literally means fat fish “wow what a big fish”
  • cá voi - whale, literally means elephant fish “look it’s big like an elephant but like a fish”
  • cá sấu - alligator/crocodile, ugly fish “that is one hideous fish”
  • cá heo - dolphin, pig fish “oink oink I’m a fish”
  • gà cha - rooster, chicken dad, I don’t even have a joke here too many possibilities
  • cáo bốc mùi hôi - skunk, stinky fox “that fox stinks it’s a stinky fox”

(feel free to add words if you’re viet!)

“fysh” sauce - some vegan nonsense

i was just informed that a vegan company based out of portland, oregon US is claiming to have made a breakthrough in “Asian cuisine.” they premise the necessity for their product based off of ignorant, disrespectful claims -

  • CLAIM 1: “the number of vegan alternatives [to fish sauce] is staggeringly small” -  to which i say do you think maybe you’re just ignorant? that you didn’t grow up SE asian? so you don’t have access to our vegan fish sauce? are you saying that it doesn’t exist because white people can’t have it? because surely you aren’t so deluded to think that SE asian buddhism didn’t mean that veganism was a thing there long before it was a thing here, in the white american world? do you think that that white supremacy and first world veganism have colluded to make everyone think that non-white vegans don’t exist or that we do but we’re just doing it wrong? because i assure you, it exists
  • CLAIM 2: fish sauce is “gross.” i don’t know where to start with this one. i’ve let this culture’s white supremacist anti-vietnameseness translate into raging self-hate long enough to still tolerate this disrespectful “FREAKY EXOTIC ASIAN FOOD” bullshit. fish sauce is vietnamese blood. you cannot begin to understand its role in our culture. i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, you know your veganism is shit when you rely on old racist tropes to promote it

yeah yeah. fuck you too.

their kickstarter & their website where you can contact them

yeahhhh there are plenty of Asian and even SE Asian vegans…

But the “how to make vegan fish sauce” videos are how to make like the dipping sauce which usually uses fish sauce in the bottle? Not the actual fish sauce that comes in the bottle and is brown (and usually from fermented fish) if that makes sense. It’s confusing bc they’re both called fish sauce lol but it’s different

yes nuoc mam nguyen chat and nuoc mam pha are different, you’re right. i only used those pictures because they’re internet accessible and because if you take out the garlic and the chili, that’s how a lot of restaurants and vietnamese vegans make their nuoc mam nguyen chat

lanuitjesuisdevenue asked:

Hi there! So my blurb isn't really pho-related, but it's still a REALLY big part of Vietnamese cuisine that I thought might be relevant. There's a Kickstarter for something called Fysh sauce and the campaign video consisted of people (none who are Vietnamese) tasting it and then the video concludes with that fish sauce is made of "salty fishy liquid....appealing? No thanks". So basically, I'm really bothered by it and I thought you guys should know.

damn i just looked this up. i’ll write up a post rn. thanks for letting me know
