Pho and Goi Cuon named among the most delicious in the world

The CNN Go staff has recently made a list of 50 of the world most delicious foods, including pho and goi cuon of Vietnam.

The CNN Go staff has recently compiled a list of the 50 most delicious foods from around the globe. The tagline? It's a list of foods "not to eat would be a crime."

Pho - the iconic Vietnamese dish originating in the north, and Goi Cuon (summer rolls) - a beloved staple in the south, both secured notable positions on the list, ranking 28th and 30th respectively. Pho remains the most renowned Vietnamese dish and continues to gain popularity around the world. It features a tender blend of noodles, meat, and a rich broth that is the essence of every bowl.

In contrast, Goi Cuon is a fresh wrap filled with shrimp, vermicelli noodles, pork, and an assortment of herbs. While it has a mild flavor on its own, the dish truly shines when dipped in a special peanut sauce that elevates its taste profile to a delightful array of flavors. Today, Pho is widely available globally, though its southern counterpart, Goi Cuon, remains somewhat elusive in the north, where it is less commonly found compared to its abundant presence in southern provinces.

Currently, the United States boasts the highest number of dishes represented on the list, with seven entries. Thailand earns the top accolade with its Massaman curry. As of now, the CNN Go web article has garnered over 21,500 likes, though it has faced criticism for a perceived lack of geographical diversity in its selections.
