There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted. |

“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

PUT GINGER, SHALLOTS AND ONION on a baking sheet; place under a hot
broiler until charred. In a stock pot, bring the water, oxtails and
beef shank to a boil. Thoroughly skim and discard the scum from the
surface of the stock. Drop the charred ingredients, star anise,
cinnamon stick and cloves into pot, reduce to low heat; simmer for 2
hours. Remove the meat. Remove and shred the meat from the shank and
reserve. Return the bone to the simmering stock. Simmer 1 hour
longer. When soup is done, remove and discard bones. Strain and
degrease stock; add fish sauce and salt. Keep warm. In a separate
pot, bring 3 quarts water to a boil. Drain noodles and add to boiling
water; cook for 1 minute. Drain in a colander. Divide noodles among 8
soup bowls (about 1-to-2-cup-size bowls). Divide and top each bowl of
noodles with shredded cooked beef, the raw sirloin steak slices,
onion slices and bean sprouts. Ladle about 1 1/4 cups hot soup stock
(this will cook the beef) to cover the noodles and beef, top with
fresh coriander and green onions. Serve with squeeze of lime and
chiles.
