A Day in Van Cu: The Tiny Village That (Probably) Created Pho
OTR Food & History
@otrontheroadAbout
The story of food is the story of people. And our mission on OTR is to document the dishes, recipes, and chefs that push boundaries, preserve old traditions, and most of all, deserve to be recorded. From our home in Bangkok, OTR is following the road wherever it leads, as we unwind the stories of what today is called "cuisine"- because when it comes to food, our shared history unfolds on every single plate.
Video Description
Pho is everywhere- one of the world's favorite Southeast Asian foods and the national dish of Vietnam. But before it was a global sensation- it was a humble noodle soup served by migrants from one small village called Van Cu. In Northern Vietnam for another shoot, we decided to take a drive to this forgotten hamlet to see what we might find, to dive into the history of Pho and to try the dish as it was meant to be served. - Please "Like" if you enjoy the video, subscribe to the channel, and turn on notifications! - Please consider supporting OTR on Patreon and thanks so much to anyone who does; your support truly keeps us going. http://www.patreon.com/OTRontheroad Website: http://www.OTRontheroad.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/otr.offtherails/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%3D - 0:00 - Intro 1:35 - The History of Pho 4:15 - Road Trip 6:06 - Van Cu 8:32 - Pho Bo 10:55 - The First Bowl 12:49 - Competing Theories 17:53 - The Second Bowl 20:29 - The Fall of Van Cu 26:16 - The Third Bowl 29:20 - Preserving Legacies 32:50 - Tu Mo's Poem 34:45 - The People of Van Cu 36:28 - Credits - Video Credits: https://youtu.be/R5_pP_A9xx4?si=c78qhwGfRLty7dk6 https://youtu.be/KE5qLyydk5A?si=nAcn5--uUdex8jyo https://youtu.be/99tOr7JSr0k?si=90izce5ySLCgHBh8 https://youtu.be/c9GfHgMk1ac?si=KEsV3AaK2n_Nb_SM https://youtu.be/f6YOarIwGzU?si=7rS_NFaf4RsRDvTq https://youtu.be/ykcqX1w_vkU?si=k3EYImajfZhdxq3M https://youtu.be/OtA3miCZASc?si=JlhZ71acw1r8x6Hf https://youtu.be/G70sb7jhGnk?si=EWjhWsgHgiu2yvUA https://youtu.be/Feu-DN-UleE?si=qQvFQvfn06gqQkza https://youtu.be/cQN-CtvvT70?si=KJ_XB1KqTK_lfRMS https://youtu.be/DpJccZQ3E8o?si=28nObUpVhTUjC-PI https://youtu.be/tp6wtD9jGyA?si=f9KDl8syIW90TYL_ https://youtu.be/5NqwVqJUnCA?si=IgyayAZxcOPLts69 https://youtu.be/1fe3wGxGcBs?si=aAnF4l49rihAdMkp https://youtu.be/Ds12Y78uG_4?si=086P3M9XHBwDvGDO https://youtu.be/Z8f15a5IpBk?si=wU6B-xphhkF-sZCG https://youtu.be/mwKVW9gco1U?si=ZAcrd82Kz61sNKaP https://youtu.be/gAx7CB82McQ?si=jijW1AjW31HDEiqz https://youtu.be/eufq26CGgUQ?si=DLovk_cKZ6_0kd73 https://youtu.be/JOuHQboWwgc?si=VzhqrCAvxV45U7fA https://youtu.be/Z8f15a5IpBk?si=EhiuVfZNXzsiRiyi https://youtu.be/pCddEgU0R8E?si=HarNR1UErbOV_-W7 https://youtu.be/4m-p3HF5W0M?si=HU0-ZH6Ojt-kCj0C https://youtu.be/72NFMoib4ks?si=yV4uRk7XIw--yq-k https://youtu.be/JWz0Gwd2Ppo?si=moXQMGqecRDXNfsK https://youtu.be/L5l_F2-HQ5A?si=N-oi-ttLd__tCOM6 https://youtu.be/Hknq0adzGUc?si=mOTllbOETp7z-P4m https://youtu.be/mdeVtdTwxME?si=5psfEVD_PTSKsWrP https://youtu.be/u17hJXf0gfA?si=w2Wwk58PmwMq7Ksk https://youtu.be/ymLbTjJaLBE?si=OeFGvqJymAJCLc-r https://youtu.be/u17hJXf0gfA?si=cbBIl8kzIHpebG1N https://youtu.be/K15RFthXZHY?si=31jvTG4lYh0ZLe-C https://youtu.be/mdeVtdTwxME?si=01cV6A6QwjVyO6EE https://youtu.be/gliXRQn2LyI?si=dfu8R-GV71j5M7ur https://youtu.be/dpU1zYRkvRs?si=BCLqdST8BgI5ai0Q https://youtu.be/yslkYSjAPh4?si=rxJS5-fTBiX8xGep https://youtu.be/JPBwT90d8RA?si=WLGtK7YcbWpf-Pfa https://youtu.be/rWtVRRQRY9Q?si=pwf_2ZLNUzNZk-cs https://youtu.be/CPK1E_PzGr8?si=UihPX6YrOyCRvtfc https://youtu.be/B2snzKY5y-A?si=q1YJl5d4J4g5D2ra https://youtu.be/VHRblBOWiow?si=iTzD2rR46eTD1TeM https://youtu.be/cnEUsxC1EJQ?si=MEiluB2uVmKQpdCs https://youtu.be/QpyHrQYeoIE?si=Z5-2_j-9eeAd9RcG https://youtu.be/QSEoC9lBUPw?si=TMv5yFcA_1I9y5K9
