Look at the paragraph below and answer the following questions.

Forget pho, try bun thit nuong instead


(1) Even though pho is a Vietnamese dish that most foreigners know about, it would be
better to introduce them to bun thit nuong instead. There are many reasons for this, but this
article will cover two reasons. (2a) First, pho is very easy for foreigners to find in their own
country. Most Vietnamese restaurants outside of Vietnam serve pho, which means foreigners
can easily eat it at home, but you cannot always find bun thit nuong outside of Vietnam, so it
would be best to share with them a dish they cannot eat at home. (2b) Second, bun thit nuong
is palatable to foreigners. Even though it is a dish unique to Vietnam, it is made of ingredients
that foreigners like, such as grilled pork, peanuts, lettuce, herbs, carrots, and so on. The
ingredients are not as strange to them as things like durian, balut, or shrimp paste. (3) Since bun
thit nuong is both something new and appetizing to foreigners, it is a better dish to introduce
foreigners to Vietnamese food than pho.
