...It was Pho Tai Chin (Rare beef and brisket)!

 

This sounds good. I'll try this whenever I go... Still haven't yet since I don't have many friends that would want to go with me. My wife doesn't want to try it and I don't want to go alone! OH WAIT... I'll ask my neighbor with the hot red bone wife!

Sometimes the brisket is iffy (chewy/dry). I'd probably start with just your standard rare beef. You can judge a place pretty well on the quality of the rare beef.

I haven't tried the brisket as I can't seem to stray from the regular beef

All those ^ images are from my local place btw :sup:

i had beef, brisket and tripe pho the other month at my favorite pho place in vancouver. fantastic.

That looks tasty Haut! I went over to ask my neighbor with the hot redbone wife... But they weren't home... another day!

Hate to break it to all you would-be poets, but it's pronounced Fah.

jazz

its funny you say that having not heard any of us actually pronounce it.

people were saying things like "Pho-sure"

cummon, it's all phonetic and in english that would be close enough to phonetically correct spelled out (which it was). i don't even know why i am bothering with this cause i am on your side.

fred. you (and everyone else who is capable of making soup) should make your own pho.

i've just started doing this in the past few months and it's just as delicious, and better sometimes, than anything i've ever eaten at a vietnamese restaurant. and between chicago and pittsburgh, there are some fantastic vietnamese restaurants. find a good hookup for beef soup bones and oxtail bones.

I've never eaten pho

The place here has shirts that say things like "What the pho?" "Pho-king good" etc down the back. Steve thinks he so funny.

do you have a good recipe?

am still not convinced by pho's pole position, but i never made it myself. i second jules--what's a good recipe?

what's the guess as to how many calories are in a large bowl of pho? i have been eating way too much of it lately and want to make sure it is not the reason i am getting fat.

that's what i was hoping to hear.

you mean you're getting pho-t?

am i the only one that puts that thick brown sauce in it? is this sacrilege?

watmm demands a recipe

You HAVE to put the Hoisin sauce in there, some Sriracha too!

You gotta boil the bones and stuff to get the real Pho flavor!

yea, pho real. i havent exercised in pho-eva and my pho-king shirts feel like the buttons are getting a bit too tight pho my liking.

Re the marrow bones, your tastier phos are going to have a goodly amount of fat and quite a few calories, but I don't think it's anything especially egregious. Lots of good stuff in there, too. But it's not low calorie by any means, so if it's contributing to you eating more calories a day than you're burning off, yeah, you're going to gain weight.

All I'm saying is, it ain't a rice cake. It's basically a full meal.
