Pho Whittier Pho Dac Biet (1. House Special Noodle Soup)

I was dining with a friend at Pho Whittier when he insisted I try some of his Pho Dac Biet. This is a soup of many meats with a strong cilantro flavor. I'm not big on tendon or tripe which are both in this soup. For that reason I would never order this on my own, but if I were served it at the Gulag I wouldn't be upset. That is to say, this is good food that simply doesn't appeal to me because of my Hebrew roots. My loss is your gain. It's cold outside. Have some of this stuff to warm up.
