Subject: RE: BS: Happy Chinese New Year!
Chuc Mung Nam Moi - that's Vietnamese for "Happy New Year", which coincides with the Chinese. And it's the year of the Water Goat.

Here's a page with some Vietnamese recipes and other stuff.

One sad thing that links in with this is that the chaplain to the Vietnamese Community in Britain, Monsignor Peter Diem, was murdered recently on his first trip home to Vietnam in twenty years. He used to celebrate the monthly Mass for the Harlow Vietnamese community. They'll be remembering him this New Year.
