Talk:Nước chấm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Deletion?
Wikipedia is not a recipe book. Shouldn't this be deleted?Avalon 05:34, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
I agree with you indefinitely that it's not a recipe book, however this particular sauce is almost essential to Vietnamese cuisine and is accompanied with many of the dishes Vietnamese cuisine is most well known for. It's almost on the same par as fish sauce itself.
I concur. Since the recipe is simple, and the condiment is relevant to Vietnamese culture, I don't see anything more wrong with its inclusion than that of pound cake or salt & pepper. 72.0.105.3 06:56, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Inadequacy of Title - Possible Merging
This a poor catigorisation of information. As both a vietnamese-raised person and a professional cook in that field, as well as a native english-speaker, I have to say that "Nước chấm" just means "dipping sauce", and does not specifically refer to the variation of prepared fish sauce often used for such dipping purposes, and whose recipe is shown in this article - although it often does, the phrase "Nước chấm" can and does also refer to soy sauce-based dipping sauces, peanut sauces, fermented soy- and fish-based dipping sauces. As an infrequent contributor to Wikipedia, I don't know if this should be merged with the "Nước mấm/Fish sauce" article, as a version of prepared fish sauce distinct, or at least traditional, to Vietnam.

[edit] Pronunciation
Could someone with some Vietnamese language experience add an IPA pronunciation for the title of this article? ralmin 12:53, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
- I can't get IPA symbols to appear in my browser, so I won't try to put it together here.
- The sequence is:
- Alveolar nasal
- Close-mid back unrounded vowel
- Close-mid central unrounded vowel
- Voiceless labial-velar plosive
- Voiceless retroflex plosive
- Close-mid central unrounded vowel
- Bilabial nasal
- That's approximately "noo-ukp chum" in English phonetics. 24.2.48.202 (talk) 20:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
