Bo 7 Mon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bò 7 Món: Vietnamese seven courses of Beef. Typically served at weddings. Usually ground beef rolled into balls or formed into pieces will be grilled. The cooked beef portions are then wrapped (by the individual eating it) with a variety of herbs (rau song) and lettuce then dipped in Mam Nem. Mam Nem is a fermented fish sauce that originated in Thailand. This sauce is much more pungent in flavor then its cousin the nuoc mam (fish sauce) because it is not strained therefore it still has the bits and pieces of fish in it. The sauce is smooth in texture because it has been blended to a smooth consistency. A less popular version is the Ca 7 Mon (Cá 7 Món) - or, seven courses of fish. These multi-course meals are on the more higher-eating end of Vietnamese cuisine.
