RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Pho for sure. I'm hesitant to even get it at restaurants (as opposed to making it myself) because most of the time it's extremely mediocre, a decent chunk of the time it's really disappointing, and on rare occasion it's great.
Also, I like chicken pho and almost every restaurant serves beef pho with chicken breast and calls it "chicken pho". That is not chicken pho; that is beef pho with chicken.
Lava... The forbidden polenta...
Lab grown meat, that's a good choice!
And regarding pho. It will not be standardized, but they will all be delicious to you. You will get to experience variety just as good as what you consider your current favorites. So I guess that still works.
