Pigs guts !!!

[Goompa]

Funny you say that Ron , that is the same statement every time I see that come out on a plate , chewy as an old boot , even the chicken hearts cooked in thai basil does not eliminate the flavour , and some times a crunch of blood vessels is a little off-putting as well , they are better deep fried though !

My bride is Isaan through and through , I did draw the line at the pigs uterus one time but she got her way in the end .

Pigs Guts , Chicken Guts and before Beef's Guts , now the kitchen is free from beef , a Buddha issue , and better for the sense of smell BTW , but still captivating when the PICKLED MUDFISH comes out for a boil ( for about 3 hours )

I have gotten used to many odd smells over the years , but ..... ," Sorry Sweetheart I have to go to work for a while , be back soon na , I love you ."

A happy SWAMBO is so enjoyable , an unhappy *HWANGWHUD just makes it difficult for everyone !

Goompa, I am sure your Missus is a great person but I ams sure glad she is not my wife. I would have moved out long time ago.....

[Goompa]

Thank for your synopsis hanno , HR Resource will never be your forte' , adaptability is the key to a life-long foundation mate , We can only try , get it right and we never have to worry again , heck I don't !

Larb Muu

[Dancealot]

Cooked larb moo with pork stomach fat. Koriander, spring onions in plenty. Low on the normal onions, chilli's and garlic. This has been prepared for someone with a sensitive stomach.

I'm getting hungry, Goompa! Lovely contributions.

Them fake gummybears just dont taste the same..

We have two sister inlaws living next to us,one either side.One makes her own stink fish as I call it and the other one does a lot of cooking using it and as you could imagine the odour is over bearing but at the same time the stuff tastes ok.

[Goompa]

Sorry Ron , I do not agree with your tastes , STINKFISH is not palatable to me , Exactly what I call it and now my bride calls it the same , funny that

Gaeng tai paa , or gaeng thai plaa is another beauty mate , looks like Soilent Green to me , but I never say bad for her tastes , ever , I try some of the dishes and if it is not to my liking , I just say that .

Chicken livers with Thai Basil ( Holapaa ) and some coconut milk sautéed with thai eggplant and lemongrass stalks , charlotte onions and garlic and pik sii far , dash of fish sauce ( Squid brand ) the other ones are just too salty and not rich to my taste ,with a bowl of fresh steamed new crop Hom Mali jasmine rice I like that one .

Wish I had a photo Would you settle for some shallow fried Goramy Fish ?

HR resource will never be your forte

Seriously, I will try most things but there are just some foods I do not like, including offal.

[Goompa]

I have to agree with you hanno , some foods are just not desirable given the thought of whence it came .

Even after many times trying to get accustomed to the taste it still takes time , just like giving a toddler his/her first experience with a lemon

[Ron19]

Here is some of the offerings given for the blessing of the new spirit houses.

Hospital food.....a Thai friend in hospital ordered "farang food" off the hospital menu.... Pork chop and fries, with HP sauce....nice crispy hot fries, I was surprised

but he did not like the HP sauce!

There is plastic wrap over the food, makes it look a bit out of focus!

[Ron19]

Ready to be offered to Buddha with Yam making sure the flies don't settle.Buddha couldn't eat it all so anyone around got their fill.
