Vietnamese dishes “test the courage” of international tourists
Vietnamese cuisine is celebrated worldwide for its variety and richness, but some unique dishes often leave international tourists hesitant. These “dare-to-try” dishes reflect the fascinating cultural diversity of Vietnam.

Tiết Canh (Blood Pudding): A traditional dish made from fresh animal blood mixed with minced meat and topped with peanuts. While loved by locals, its raw preparation can be overwhelming for foreigners.
Đuông Dừa (Coconut Worms): A specialty of the Mekong Delta, these fat, wriggling worms are eaten live or cooked. Despite their creamy taste, their appearance often makes tourists shudder.


Trứng Vịt Lộn (Balut): A fertilized duck egg containing a partially developed embryo. Though considered a nutritious delicacy in Vietnam, it’s seen as a daunting challenge by international visitors.
Mắm Tôm (Fermented Shrimp Paste): This strong-smelling condiment is a staple of dishes like bún đậu mắm tôm. While locals find it irresistible, its pungent aroma is a significant hurdle for many tourists.
Thịt Chó (Dog Meat): A controversial dish in Western cultures, dog meat is viewed as a delicacy in Vietnam. It remains one of the most challenging cultural differences for international visitors.
