@Weedygarden, please explain pho. And why didn't you cook your steak any. (I like lightly cooked meat, not burnt offerings).

I love pho! It's a Vietnamese dish with a very hot broth. So hot you put the meat in raw and it sort of cooks as you eat it.

Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup. The broth is made in a similar fashion to bone broth, with a variety of beef bones slow cooked for hours and with a variety of seasoning. Rice noodles are one of the main ingredients in the soup bowl. Pho can be ordered with a variety of meat possibilities. You can get meatballs, sliced raw steak, tendon, and many other choices.

The noodles and meat are put into a large soup bowl and the hot broth is ladled over it. This is served with a platter that is called a vegetable platter, and includes these things: a few fresh herbs, including basil and a saw tooth edged leaf, bean sprouts, sliced large yellow onions, scallions, jalapenos, pieces of chopped lime. When your pho is served, you dress it with what you want from the vegetable platter and then add siracha sauce and / or hoison sauce as you wish. By the time the pho is eaten, the raw steak is cooked.

Pho is served on the streets and restaurants in Vietnam. It is eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This video shows and explains about eating pho.

It doesn't have to have noodles either. We make ours without, adding spiralized zucchini or bean sprouts instead. My wife will sometimes use shirataki noodles, but I don't like them.
 
@Weedygarden In the south fried bologna sandwich has a special meaning. For starters bologna at the store was a 10lb stick, 4 inches in diameter, when I was young (my uncle had a little county store where we bought it, 2 miles away). The store owner asked you how many pounds you wanted and sliced you off the same. It wasn’t thin little slices in a sealed pack that is sold these days at the grocery store.

A 10lb stick can still be found here but you have to look for it. A real fried bologna sandwich are slices off a stick about 1/4 inch thick, fried to a golden brown on each side with your choice of cheese on top… yeller or white! It’s served on white bread from the store. The usual choice is mustard or mayo for a condiment .

A classy joint would offer lettuce! :D

I can still get a real fried bologna sandwich from time to time. ;)

Also, in the south it's pronounced "Fried Baloney Sandwich" :)

Making me hungry, guys.
I'm a sausage fan, too. Have to have bratwurst and sauerkraut regularly.
We also eat a bologna variation...buy it in that chunk you're describing, put it through the handcrank meat grinder with hardboiled eggs, cheese chunks...season it and spread on bread. It's still typically served at the lunch after church service in the Old Order Amish church. Whoever has the most laying hens at the time will donate a lot of the eggs.
 
Nope. Found some recipes on YouTube and decided to try one. It was ok but definitely NOT Chick-Fil-A. Might try another one tomorrow.

KFC is third on my list of places to buy fried chicken.

I have several copycat recipes that really are spot on, of course that is not always the case. I even made Coca Cola once. Was not bad but tasted more like a store brand cola.
