A Thai woman reached out to netizens for their opinions after she discovered an unusual bone with a set of teeth in her favourite papaya salad, also known as som tam in Thailand.

 

On July 5, a Facebook account, เบน ช้ะ, shared a picture of a suspicious bone that she found in her som tam with a caption stating…

“The end of my favourite fermented fish. How many times do I have to vomit to get rid of this som tam? I do not know what is it…”

The picture features a bone that has several teeth but the woman could not figure out which animal the teeth belongs to. She initially thought that it could have come from the fermented fish that the vendor included in the som tam. However, she knows fish do not possess teeth.

"However, she knows fish do not possess teeth."

 

Many fish do have teeth actually. Some are very human like.

As long as I know fish do possess teeth...I don't know if all or only some. But sharks movies without teeth would be pretty boring

Rat or even Cat?

Certainly, we can assume that that particular dish of "Som Tam" had a bite of flavouring it...

Thai education is somewhat lacking in natural science

Sheepshead fish

A friend used to order two pints at closing time. One he would start drinking, the other he would put his teeth into????

Maybe someone in the kitchen is gnashing his gums in anger at his lost teeth.

As previously stated - "yes they do". For example a Barracuda:-

She must have learned that in school.

There. Corrected it for you 

The irony lost on finding vile dead things in a "sauce" that always smells like vile dead things... 

 

And yet there she is reportedly "vomiting the taste away?" ????????‍♂️

Somtam cooks are quite creative, it’s remarkable the different things one can find in a dish of somtam 

''Waiter there's a tooth in my som tam'' 

''not so loud, they'll all want one''.

Give you nasty suck.

Fish dont have teeth?

 

Leftover soup? 

My wife says that they make fermented fish sauce in big barrels. And a monkey probably fell there and drowned and got fermented. And the teeth and some bones is what is left of it.

There's always the ones where someone is sucked to death by piranhas. ????

I used to be a dental technician and I knew others that did that. although not with their own.

Dental technicians sometimes end up working in maxillofacial labs and I've know some put false eyes into drinks

That abysmal blurred picture make the article a waste of time!
