December 12, 2021, a special Doodle about pho appeared on the Google homepage. Pho - one of the iconic dishes of Vietnam's culinary culture was promoted on the Google Search homepage of 20 countries and territories.

ORIGIN OF VIETNAMESE PHO

Although most historians agree that Pho was invented in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Northern Vietnam during the French colonial period, its origin remains a mystery. Some people believe Pho was originated from the French one-pot beef and vegetable stew pot-au-feu, while others say it was from the Chinese communities in the north of Vietnam.

Today, Pho has followed Vietnamese people all over the world and has become a "brand" dish of Vietnam. Although the origin of the dish is controversial, the anecdotes about Pho are still worth checking out. In addition, Pho can also be considered as one of the typical examples of the concept of Bricolage (hybrid) that researchers of culinary culture use to refer to dishes that tend to be hybrid (combining, modifying from many foreign food sources).
