Just like rice, fish sauce is a staple of almost every dish in Việt Nam. "For Vietnamese people, a meal without fish sauce is considered incomplete," culture expert Trần Ngọc Thêm once wrote in his book Việt Nam Culture Foundation. A bowl of fish sauce, nước mắm, is placed at the centre of the table so every one can reach it. Some may not eat vegetables, some may not have meat, but everyone has rice and seasons the food with fish sauce. Therefore, how one places the fish sauce bowl can tell a lot about etiquette and consideration for others, according to Thêm. The earliest mention of fish sauce is found in Roman literature in the 4th century BC. Nowadays fish sauce is popular in Southeast Asian countries – in Thailand it is known as nam pla, in Myanmar as nganpyaarrai, in Korea as eojang. In Việt Nam, fish sauce is used widely – as a seasoning, a dipping sauce, in humble daily meals and at fancy parties. Nước mắm is said to help distinguish Vietnamese food from that of its neighbours.
