Pho

"Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup consisting of broth, linguine-shaped rice noodles called bánh pho, a few herbs, and meat."
"Pho is a popular street food in Vietnam and the specialty of a number of restaurant chains around the world."
"It is primarily served with either beef or chicken."
"The Hanoi and Saigon styles of pho differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs."
"The origin of pho and its name is a subject of scholarly debate."
"A related beef noodle soup, bún bō Hue, is associated with Hue in central Vietnam."

"Pho originated in the early 20th century in northern Vietnam,apparently southeast of Hanoi in Nam Đinh Province, then a substantial textile market.
The traditional home of pho is reputed to be the villages of Vân Cų and Dao Cų in Đông Xuân commune, Nam Truc District, Nam Đinh Province.
According to villagers, pho was eaten in Vân Cų long before the French colonial period when it was popularized.
Pho was originally sold at dawn and dusk by roaming street vendors, who shouldered mobile kitchens on carrying poles.
From the pole hung two wooden cabinets, one housing a cauldron over a wood fire, the other storing noodles, spices, cookware, and space to prepare a bowl of pho."
