Cowberries

[thaigerd]

Looking around to find cowberries but not available in Phuket.

Any possibilities in Bangkok?

Frozen or as a jam, whatever.

Thanks,

Gerd

Gerd -

I assume you're looking for a lingonberry??? (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowberry )

If so, the folks at Karlsson's Steak House in Patong (near Patong Tower) serve lingonberry. I have no idea where they get it. But it's quite good.

Can't see that anything like that would be grown in Thailand. Only a small possibility of them being grown in far north, Chiang Mai or Chaing Rai. Otherwise the climate is too warm.

As for finding some jam or syrup in BKK at one of the high end shops for foriegners and tourists in some of the high end food shops, that might be possible. Probably would be expensive though.

You might be able to order it through the internet, and have it shipped by mail.
