Hmong Food by tradition?

[TheAfterLife]

I heard that Hmong people eat sour traditionally in China. Now I was wondering why this hasn't been recorded in our historical food books. We cannot let thia die for this is part of us. If San Miao is our last country, why haven't we cherished the San Miao traditional food? My mom told me that Hmong people had their own version of bacon back in Laos. Now, I believe it's lost; yet, I am dying to know it's recipe. I am a huge fan of Hmong food; also, I am willingly to be educated here first before heading to Thailand, China, Vietnam, or in Laos. What is your opinion on Hmong traditional foods and the ones in China?

I have no clue what hmong "traditional" food are because alot of our food is also seen in other cultures, it begs to question, did we get it from them or did we develop it on our own and it's just similar to theirs?

I'm of the same opinion. All dishes are basically a derivative of a dish before it.

Plain chicken > chicken broth > chicken soup > chicken noodle soup.

I see traditional food more as a dish commonly associated with that particular culture than a dish unique to that culture. Simply because there are very few truly unique dishes in the world. If a dish has enough similarities with another can it be called truly unique? It maybe called different but can it qualify as truly unique?

Ha'HINT:
San Miao is "Miao", and is ha'definitely ha'NOT Ha'Mung  ...  ha'DUH!  ...  kekeke  ...   

Furthermore, there are 3 distinct Miao branches (or the more predominant ones) in and throughout China.  They are the Eastern Miao (Red -- they prefer to have no relevant lineage with US/SEAsian Hmong, especially duh-UH-Ha'Mung), the Central (Blue/Black) Miao, and the Western (Yellow of Yunnan, who are our closest Miao kin) Miao.  It is also a known fact that of these 3 particular Miao branches, they each have their OWN unique traditional food etc., which duh-UH-Ha'Mung would be utterly ignorant, clueless, and edumacated of and about.  That is to say, "ha'DUH!"  ...  KEKEKE  ...
