Apart from being a miniature version of our flag, it is particular because -before refrigeration- the full list of ingredients can only be sourced around September, the month were we celebrate the start and end of our Independence War (Legend says a group of nuns created it to serve to the first Emperor). I guess it'd be more or less impossible to prepare abroad, a few ingredients aren't easy to find even in here. If I wanted to make more this season, I'd have to substitute some of them because they won't that easy or cheap to find. Actually many people do substitute these ingredients. (There is even one ingredient that has been illegal to buy for a while, naturally I substituted it for something else). The dish is a mix of sour, sweet, bitter, meaty, spicy, and nutty flavors. If you ever visit my country around September, don't miss the chance to have some.</blockquote>
