Bring Back the Lunch Thread !!!!

[Supe]

The cashier calls it that, presumably to appease the customers. I've always known it as "Fuh". The stuff here is OK, but not the real deal. They put some wontons in it, shrimp, and chicken breast strips (the latter of which I don't like about it, always tastes too dry/bland). I love getting the ones with beef in it, but haven't been to a Vietnamese restaurant since I left Houston.

Pho noodle soup.

I like real noodle soup. I hate that fake crap.

1. I saw what you did there.

2. Do Southerners pronounce it as "foe/faux"? 2a. That's adorable. 2b. But then you miss out on the funny restaurant names like "Pho King".

City Pho King

Well, phok. Have I been mispronouncing it this whole time?

1. Who? Me?

2. Yup.

2a. Thanks!

2b No, we have plenty of Foo King Palaces and Foo King this and that to keep us suitably entertained.

So it IS faux noodle noup!

Man, now I want pho. Fortunately it's overcast and I'm in Little Saigon...perfect conditions pho sure.

There used to be a restaurant nearby called "Thai Porn". The latter word means "blessing" in Thai and is supposed to be pronounced "pohn", so Southerners would have gotten the pronunciation right. Not that that would mitigate the confusion of patrons who were expecting a different kind of service.

Dinner with a happy ending?

 

[YMZ PE]

Not unless you want your banana fried.

 

[Master slacker]

How does one pronounce "fried"? Is it pronounced more like "massaged"?

A regular meal for you, isn't it Bly? Are you trying to out-do Capt for most consistent? LOL

Nope; it's the blood type diet getting the best of me. This meal is pretty cheap and better than trying to find a local restaurant that serves up food that is on my diet. Mainly veggy's and chicken these days. Do get to have beef and game meats as well; but they don't pack up for lunch as well.
