Phở: pronounced (~)"feu" (some say it's a bastardization of the French for "fire"1) is the ubiquitous and delicious street food of choice in north vietnam, particularly Hanoi (I'm told by Link). Typically comprised of rice noodles, beef, basil, lime, and spices, rarely does it cost more than 40,000 dong (US2), and it's served in ~every streetside stand or cafe you can find. Above was somewhere in the Old City, and probably the best I had (it did cost a whopping 50,000 dong though). Gonna have to look for this back in the states.
1 - [Bill Maher interjects]: "Bastardization of the French? That's like a legitimacy double negative!" [smug BillMaher grin]. Liberals and conservatives hold hands and chuckle.
