Maybole Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Name in English please. Sister-in-law was cooking this vegetable today but could not tell me what it is. In Thai it is "ฝักหมู" which Google tells me means "pork pod". This makes no sense. Does an English language name exist? Caution! It may not be Thai but a Lanna dialect name.

KhunBENQ Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Can't get far. Just that ฝัก stands for a gourd/pumpkin. หมู is pork, no question. Is it the name of a dish? Edited September 10, 2023 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StayinThailand2much Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Fakmoo Poor cow! No, seriously, is it stuffed sour gourd/melon, i.e. a dish? (Winter melon also comes to mind.)

Maybole Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Mystery solved. Fakmoo "ฝักหมู" is a Chiang mai dialect word for ฟักเขียว which translates as "Green Squash" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
