“ It recently came to my attention that the Vietnamese noodle-and-broth dish spelled “pho” is not pronounced “foe,” as I had always assumed, but “fuh.” This was a heartbreaking revelation, because it shattered my dreams of opening hit restaurants called Pho Fo’ Sho’ (free Cristal with every bowl!) and Faux Pho (Pho Sho’s vegan spin-off).
— Emily Garber, in her McSweeney’s review of new food, shares the same feeling I had when I came to this realization. In fact, this entire series continues to be a point of interest considering my fear of trying new cuisine along with a love for abounding sarcasm.
