Oh come on, J! There we were, all excited to rub elbows (probably literally, given our frontier dining style) and no CHS. So we ate a little, we waited, maybe you were late. We ate a little more. Still no CHS! Distraught, we turned to food to soothe ourselves. Temporary fix? Yes. Self-destructive? Yes. But we just couldn't stop!

MvB, how could you? How could you swallow even one bite knowing that CHS hadn't been invited? You disgust us.

Jason: nitpick kudos! I love that Seattlest commenters read this carefully. While I don't know enough about pho to argue, your point about French stock sounds right to me.

Slight nitpick: Actually pho is, by most accounts, a product of French colonial fusion too, as roasted bones weren't typically part of soup stock prior to French influence. I think pho only has about 60 years of history, give or take.
