Guess What I'm making for Dinner

[hoovarmin]

This could be fun, or maybe I've had one too many beers. It's only 5:09 PM here though...Who can guess what I'm making for dinner?

[OC Sandy]

I'm going to guess Ramen.

[hoovarmin]

Close!

[OC Sandy]

hoovarmin do I get a second guess? How about pho ga?

[DaveD]

Hmm, ramen was my first guess too... looking more closely, I see cinnamon sticks I think? And some other strong spices in the dish... some kind of chicken curry?

Oh, and I'm on my down to the kitchen for beer #2, so there's that

[hoovarmin]

LOL, we are having beers together! Not curry!

[barelfly]

Pho?

[hoovarmin]

Winner!

[DaveD]

Wait - Vietnamese chicken vermicelli bowl??

And this is a great idea for a thread! I can see this one going on for quite some time as folks drop in with their messy-places*...

*That's how my lovely bride and I say mise en place

[hoovarmin]

So close but it's Pho

[Draznnl]

If it isn’t fish tacos, I’m not playing.

[Whiskeyman53]

I also believe it will become pho.

[hoovarmin]

nailed it

[acorgihouse]

My first guess was ramen, but when you nixed that idea within a couple replies, I decided pho. I'm thinking that is ginger in the bag in the back?

[hoovarmin]

You got it!

[gcdmd]

And here I thought it was pig's feet and that you were making Asian menudo.

[hoovarmin]

acorgihouse that bag is filled with chicken legs. I wish I had that much ginger!

[RonB]

I ate a lot of that when I served over there.

[hoovarmin]

My understanding is that the Vietnamese typically eat Pho for breakfast. Is that true?

[RonB]

I don't know. I was never off base until after work and there was a curfew.

[smokenoob]

looks like hoovarmin goulash 😉

[hoovarmin]

I'm gonna trademark that

[Michael_in_TX]

Love glass noodles!

[Sweaty Paul]

I don't know. However, it appears it is going to be tasty. I'd take a bowl! Enjoy!

[hoovarmin]

I'll save one for you!

I'm blessed to be living in a city with a large Vietnamese population. Great restaurants and grocery stores. Kinda nice to have a couple of Vietnamese friends who tell you which restaurants the locals go to.

[texastweeter]

I'm gonna go with grilled cheese, am I right?

[hoovarmin]

Exactly!

[shify]

I already know the answer but initially was trying to figure out what dish has both rice vermicelli and flat rice noodles before realizing the small yellow bowl on the right didn't have flat noodles in this (d'oh!)

[hoovarmin]

Correct. Sliced onions.
