It took me a few years to remember how to pronounce the name of Vietnam's famous noodle soup, Pho, and I still haven't tasted it. Two blog posts recently rekindled my longing to try the soup with the name that so many people can't pronounce.

It's "fuh" or "fuhr" with the softest "r" sound imaginable, and not "foe," with the name causing endless bad jokes, including the one in my title. Whatever you call it, this is a dish that people rave about. What's the fuss you say? Soup with noodles?
