Chris, where did you get the shirt you are wearing in the Pho Saigon segment? The embroidery of the Houston freeways is pretty cool. Thanks in advance.
No, no. Phở did not originate from the French. It has a Chinese origin but not French. The spice seasonings in Phở are prominent and clearly show that it wasn't French but rather of Chinese & Vietnamese origins. Phở existed before the French took over Vietnam. Having said that, the French did influence somewhat to this popular noodle dish but not in a nice way. My mom was from North of Vietnam. When she made Phở, she would occasionally tell us the ugly thing that the French did (the story may have passed down from her ancestors). During the time that the French ruled the country, they consumed all the lean meat from cows. All that were left to sell to the public were the bones and small bits of beef. So, the Vietnamese took what they could buy at the market to make the stock for Phở. Turned out, the people realized that the bones still made good stock of Phở and the cost was cheaper. The Vietnamese incorporated flat rice noodles and vegetables that were ready-available in the region.
Food is the one thing about houston that does not suck.

Had it too stringy and rubbery
Chicken Pho is a stretch already. No such things as “Seafood or Vegan” Pho. We’ve Hu Tieu but vegan “pho” is just vegetables soup with noodles.
Pho in Japan tastes terrible.
