Personally, I don't like it, the flavor is bitter and the smell pungent. But it is very very popular, especially among Southern Thais and is considered quite a treat.

In French congelé means frozen.

It is mainly for southern style cooking. I can't stand it. The smell is terrible and the taste is... well lets just say I immediately asked for something to rinse my mouth with. However most say it is good for gas or indigestion problems.

'Stinky bean' is what it's called.
