I am deeply saddened for all the people who have not had pho. Or, indeed enough pho. I grew up eating it, due to the completely random Vietnamese population in my otherwise pretty ethnically homogeneous hometown.
My daughter and I have been going to the same pho shop so long that they don't even bring us menus anymore. She started going at 2 1/2 or so (she's 14 now), learned to use chopsticks there, really has grown up on the stuff.
