My daughter is really picky with food and and even she loves the pho. My son tried some of my wife's (he's only 22 months old), and he liked it, but my wife forgot she put the jalapeno peppers in there so he quit after a few bites. It's not the first time my son has eaten really spicy food either (Andy Capp hot fries and it was pure hilarity because he kept asking for more even though the spices were burning up his little mouth).
