Pho
mmmm... Pho, one of my favorite things to eat. It is amazing and there are plenty of places around Denver to get amazing Pho.
Pho is a Vietnamese soup that is a staple of Vietnamese cuisine and culture. The word pho sounds close to the sound "phuh" to English speakers and the "ph" is said as the /f/ sound. Of course, in Vietnamese, the proper pronunciation must be said with the accurate fluctuation of high and low tones of voice. Many Vietnamese people eat pho for breakfast rather than as an evening meal. Pho can be made in more than 20 variations, but always has either a flavorful beef broth or a chicken broth base.
Pho is thought to have been first created in northern Vietnam in the early 1950s. The Vietnamese Communist government actively closed pho restaurants in favor of restaurants they could own. The quality of the government-run pho establishments was considered poor and Saigon, in South Vietnam, became a popular area for pho restaurants.
