For Vietnamese people, pho is a traditional dish that is incredibly familiar. Almost every province or city will have pho restaurants. In the eyes of foreigners, pho consists of rice noodles served with beef or chicken in a flavorful broth. When eating, people often add condiments like chili sauce, pepper, lime, chili, and eat it with fresh herbs…
Previously, many foreigners referred to pho simply as “noodles”, but it was easy to confuse it with various noodle dishes worldwide. Moreover, pho is distinctly different and has its own unique way of enjoying it, unlike any other noodle dish in the world.
In September 2007, pho – the famous Vietnamese dish, was officially added to the concise Oxford English Dictionary, published on September 20th in England and the United States. This event officially recognized pho as a distinct noun in the reputable English dictionary worldwide.
