Fabulous Foods – Pho

Pho (as defined by Urban Dictionary) Vietnamese rice noodle, usually eaten with Sriricha hot sause and Hoisin sauce. The broth is usually homemade, by boiling chicken stock in water. The meat which can be found in pho can be virtually anything: pork, beef, tripe, chicken, barbeque... When served with beef, the beef is usually left raw, for the broth will cook it while in the bowl. At restaurants, it is only served in three sizes: Small = Large Medium = Supersize Large = Bathtub

Long story short, best damn food ever. If you ever try to eat a bowl of pho, try not to burn yourself, and eat it fast.

I can’t disagree with the definition. It is a steaming bowl of goodness that is beyond compare. The first time I went for pho I was extremely skeptical. How could something be so good? Everyone I spoke to gave it rave reviews, it appealed to just about everybody. But it really is that good. It is like a hug in a bowl and there is nothing more reassuring of its goodness than those little gobs of fat that float just below the surface. It is the best soup that I have ever had, and I would travel to Vietnam just for it.
