It's spicy noodle soup, and I'll hear no more about it, thanks very much! 😆

One of my friends and I started a new Christmas tradition several years ago. On Christmas Day, we meet for lunch at the Pho King for our Merry Pho King Christmas celebration.

This is true, I was the waiter

I could never pronounce it right, until my boss at the time said "Oh, come on, it should be easy for you to remember: it sounds just like the first syllable of 'fuck you'." (I did curse too much at my last job)

I love how the correct pronunciation makes endless puns.

Sadly the Keene, NH pho shop Pho Keene Great is no more. https://maps.app.goo.gl/xavEgmgv4Gi8ocRf6

I prefer receiving the Hamlisch maneuver. It's more entertaining...

That is why I do not ever order it. I stick to the other thing I can't pronounce.

For 34 years my Vietnamese orders are "I don't know the name of that thing with the cold noodles and the meat but that's what I like. Do you use regular Vietnamese herbs or do you use lettuce I don't like the lettuce." Oh I always get what I want.
