Anyone here like Pho?

[hobo_baggins]

I had it for the first time tonight, and really like it! I had chicken pho, what're some other good kinds?

Im a bit turned off by the ones that say they contain tripe.

phi and phum?
I cannot afford the phee.

3. Pho is a vietnamese noodle soup.

7. you mean it's

people?
That's just wrong.
A BFG should not eat vietnamese
even if they warn them with phee phi pho phum.

4. Love it

But being a vegetarian, it's tough to get the real stuff in SE Asia. But it's the best to eat on a stormy cold afternoon!

6. yikes, i just looked at the ingredients...probably shouldn't have

the broth is made by soaking the marrow out of beef bones...

11. tis a sad thing

but some places make a vegan version, particularly around the vegetarian festivals in october...betcha big urbany places would have a vegetarian vietnamese place to get the yummy stuff!

16. That's how all beef broth is made

Then you char some onion, ginger, allspice etc., wrap them in cheesecloth and let them simmer in the broth for an hour or two.

My favorite kind is with raw beef and cooked brisket.

8. Pho is so good!

I love it - I just wish I could get it more often. Same thing with menudo.

9. oh my god, menudo is so nasty

my sister made it for me once...its got to be the worst collection of ingredients ever thought up.

12. Menudo = great cure for hangovers

10. I made some yesterday

I love it! Mine was beef, though

[eyesroll]

13. Meatball, sliced beef, shrimp...

Not big on the tripe, though.

14. LOVE IT! It's one of my favorite dishes in the world

Perfect on a cold day. I love all the fresh herbs and veggies you put into it. I love the broth, the noodles, the lime. I love everything about it. I usually get the beef but the chicken is good too. I don't get the one with tripe, although my husband (who is Asian) loves it.

We live a mile from a huge Vietnamese neighborhood in Chicago so we're very lucky.

15. Most pho is noodle soup made with various beef parts

tendon pho etc.

This is a North Vietnamese regional dish.

I like Vietnamese food, but beef noodle soup is not all that interesting.

17. I usually stick with the chicken.

Add some chili paste to it to spice it up some and it's one of my favorites. . . .

Hmmmm, now I know where I'm going for lunch on Monday :P
