My first taste of pho

I had my first bowl of pho the other day. I've always wanted to try it, because I have a friend who possesses a small percent of asian in his blood. He's not really sure what sort of asian he is, because he's such an elaborate mix of ethnicities that his family failed to keep track. However, because of pho, he particularly likes to claim the Vietnamese culture as his own.  

Pho is a traditional vietnamese noodle soup that consists of rice noodles in a hearty broth (usually beef or chicken) topped with various spices and herbs. Honestly, I never imagined water could taste so rich. You'll understand once you've had a little pho yourself, and if the broth alone isn't enough for you, it's common to squeeze a little lime juice to add a tanginess that completely transforms the broth, in a good way. To be truly authentic about your pho, you have to be able to pronounce it as "fuh" never "foh".
