MSNBC - No moreĀ kishka? What about tripas?. If you happen to be a Pho connoiseur, you'd be sadly disappointed to hear that "sach" will have to be removed from the menu. For those of you who don't know what this is, it could be made from beef small intestine. However, the article is actually not really correct. "Sach" happens to be typically made from stomach, not small intestine. It's very thinly sliced in pho. Also, "tai" in pho is the thinly sliced steak meat, and there is really no such thing as "tai" stuffed "sach" as the article seems to imply. There is a dish known as "doi" (the d is pronounce like a y) which is a Vietnamese sausage that definitely should be banned. Come to think of it, if they're banning these organs to begin with, why not just ban the whole cow? Yikes, that means no more pho for me.
