At the Pho joints in the DC area, you can order pho without the tripe n' shit....It's called "Tai"....I get the Pho "Nam," which is like the tai, but has a fattier type of beef in it also. And yeah, you can eat the "mint" leaves....I think it is actually a sweet basil.

Hmmm...thanks for the info. They gave me two types of fresh herbs. I think the "mint" probably was basil but I'm not sure....I couldn't tell what the other one. At first I thought they were mint and cilantro but neither of them tasted like cilantro. I'm going to have to ask next time I go....

If you follow this recipe and bring it to a party, you WILL be the mack daddy...it has never failed me....except for the fact that I have never been to a party.

Thanks for the recipie. I went to get tacos for lunch today and completely forgot to get a side of guacamole. -matt _________________________________________________________________ There are now three new levels of MSN Hotmail Extra Storage!
