You're sitting on the toilet, aren't you? :(

[Burney]

The recipe begins "Put the bones and oxtail in a very large pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and then boil for about 10-15 minutes, until scum rises to the surface. Drain, discarding the water, rinse the bones and meat well, and clean the pan."

Indeed, all the pho recipes I can find are keen on the boilingism. We're making pho here, not consommé.

We can strain it through muslin.
