I LOVE GETTING RECIPES FOR DISHES YOU TYPICALLY WOULDN'T FIND IN A FIREHOUSE. AND THIS RECIPE FOR PHO IS EXACTLY WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. PHO, PRONOUNCED "FUH", IS A VIETNAMESE NOODLE SOUP TRADITIONALLY CONSISTING OF A BROTH, NOODLES, FRESH HERBS AND MEAT. IT IS CONSIDERED STREET FOOD BUT DON'T BE FOOLED, IT IS DELICIOUS ESPECIALLY ON A COLD DAY. THIS RECIPE COMES FROM DANIEL COMEN OF SOUTHINGTON FD, LOCAL 2033 IN CONNECTICUT.....8,585 MILES FROM VIETNAM.
