Come on. Aside from the fact that the term "Pho" can refer to several different kinds of dishes, which in turn vary by region, the broth alone takes hours to prepare and several important ingredients are only native to Asia - so the typical internet recipe uses substitutes. Cevapi has one origin - Bosnia - and there aren't really that many variables in the preparation. There are the condiments, I suppose; as others have pointed out, good kajmak or red pepper relish (I forget the "authentic" term) make some difference to the outcome, as does the bread, but these things are incidental. It's not the same as choosing whether or not to use fennel seeds and lime juice and oxtails in the Pho beef stock, or substituting aniseed for whole star anise. It's more like deciding whether to garnish with basil leaves in addition to the spring onions. Incidentally, I've never been too happy with the Pho at most restaurants. Probably because they don't have hours to spend preparing it. I've tasted much better homemade Pho (not by me). But, whatever, people probably think I'm trying to rain on their parade here and I'm not, it's great fun to go out and eat different foods, I just think people are fussing a little much over the quality.

holy shit!

Are you in or not?

Hahah - ask me again when you guys decide on a time and place. It's a hell of a pain to get downtown from Thornhill.

And don't get on my case for babbling in a roll call thread - it's not a real roll call if nobody's maintaining a list.

Hello everybody!

Thanks for all your responses - it's good to see that people are interested and are providing input.

I apologize to everyone for not keeping this up sooner, but I was very busy for the two previous days (as I always am ) with my work (I have a damn busy demanding job), so that's why ...

Ania_xox and Smuncky suggested some dates after which we should hold this event, which are fine with me. So far, I'm thinking of holding this sometimes in the second week of May. Sounds good?

I'd also like to know if people would prefer to have the party on a weekend, or rather a weekday. As for myself, I'd much rather do this on the weekend (like a Saturday), because oftentimes, I work until past six p.m. (sometimes until seven), and by the end of the day I'm very tired, so I don't know if I would enjoy a late evening party so much... but a weekend should be good. But I don't want to make a decision solely based on my preferences, I want to see what works out best for most people...

Anyone who wants to attend, please either send me a PM or write on here... suggest good dates and times as well as your preferred location.

Thanks!
