Phó
This post will be talking about a famous food from the Vietnamese culture, phó. Phó originally came from Vietnam. They usually eat this during a cold or rainy day. Phó has a variety of selections. From thin slices of rare beef, chicken, and many more. But my favorite one is is phó tai which is the phó with thin slices of rare beef. What is in phó is usually chicken broth, rice noodles, sometimes ginger, and spices. Usually when you are eating phó you usually want these to eat with it. And if you want a bit more of a taste to it, you would put fat into the soup. This picture is phó ga, which is chicken. And it was home made. Those green sticks are green onion, and usually in phó restaurants they have that in a bowl of fat to put in your phó.
There is a phó restaurant that hosts a challenge for a bowl of phó. But this challenge consists of 2 pounds of meat and two pounds of noodles within an hour. It combines 3 (xe lua) which in actual translation means "train". In Vietnamese it's the biggest bowl size you can get when you are eating phó. You get to keep the actual bowl, it's free, and you get a t-shirt if you complete in that time frame! But if you don't finish, you must pay 22 dollars for it. This is the only challenge I know of that is close by to us that has food from my culture. If you would like to see more of this Phó Garden Challenge click here. I hope you learned a bit of how to eat pho and a bit of my culture. *I do not own this picture to the right* It is from the site that says "click here" which is from phogardensf.com

I worked up quite an appetite while I was looking over this, because I am open to trying all of the foods in the world. Big, small, delicate or messy I could just devour all of the meals that were on this page. I have probably tried most of these types of food except for the lau lau or a sandwich with 7 different layers. I am determined to try all of these mouth-watering food.
