On Wednesday, in a now-deleted post, food magazine Bon Appétit shared a video on its Facebook page titled “This Is How You Should Be Eating Pho.”

In the video, Tyler Akin, owner of Philadelphia pho restaurant Stock, talks through his tips for the best pho, including using jalapeños and lime and omitting hot sauce and hoisin.

Many people were angry at what they felt was a whitewashing of an important dish for many Vietnamese people.

Apparently my generation has nothing better to do than scream "cultural appropriation" and pout about a white person having an opinion on ethnic cuisine. Yeah, I like my siracha and hoisin so I think his opinion on how to eat pho is pretty dumb, but lots of people of all colors do shitty things to food, and if I don't like it I just don't eat it. These people need to get a life.

What a stupid thing to get angry about.

Some people seem to enjoy being offended.

Id be pissy if Yankee told me how to smoke a brisket or eat gumbo...

Don't attack like that shite exclusive to SJWs. People get pissy over the right way to do food. Prime example, the food and drink board

Edit: if you read most the comments it's mostly just Asians calling the chef an idiot. buzzfeed spins it in their stupid SJW way.....btw why are you reading buzzfeed?

I really find the cultural appropriation arguments odd.

It's the sweeter brown sauce that helps balance out the heat of the srirachi. I'm not offended by what the guy said, but I'm not going to eat pho without a little hoisin in there.

What's next?

White people can no longer have an opinion on chitterlings, chicken and waffles, or collard greens?

Slippery slope this young generation has put us on.
