The website I posted earlier phofever.com has a home recipe right on the front page that looks pretty good. Once I take the crockpot back from my father I'm gonna try it out... |

Yeah, I guess it's about the same as Australia. When you're used to paying less than 50c (sometimes 10c!) a bowl, though, it's expensive. I know everything is more expensive here, and it's not logical, but it still pains me to spend $8 or whatever for a bowl.
I've started to grow the weird herbs (like Vietnamese Corriander and mint), because they're hard to get in non-chinatown areas. I think the herbs make all the difference. |

How's your broth? Do you buy pho stock spice? Bad broth is usually a deal breaker for me, and without the signature notes of star anise and clove I feel that everything else, despite the quality, is only in vain. That's awesome that you're into it enough to grow the herbs yourself! Very cool |

I have yet to start boiling up bones to make the stock, so yeah, I cheat and use packets of Pho stock spice, and then add extra things to it.
I used to be a vegetarian, but living and working in remote asia put an end to that. So I don't mind eating boiled bone broth. Boiling a bunch of bones for hours is still a bit too much though. One day. You're inspiring me to make Pho now. Maybe I will. |

I'm the total opposite. All that softened connective tissue and tendons... Man, that's like my favorite part.

the challenge is finding good, authentic stuff. A few places out in Footscray do all right... |
