Perhaps you should study TSL. Because you seem to be confused with your thaiglish garbage. perhaps using english words instead of english transliteration of thai words might help.

 

FYI what you ate was roasted winter squash.  all pumpkins are types of squash. 

ฟักทอง  is Thai. It is used for all types of squash not just pumpkins. Thai language doesn't often differentiate into smaller classifications whereas using English would have been more precise and keeps you from looking like a ponce with Thaiglish.

Well... I guess I'm gonna have to stand corrected.  I ate Thai pumpkin, or fuk tong. So, to put it into terms you seem to understand, pumpkin off now, will 'ya?

your attacks are ridiculous! this is a peaceful food porn site and in case i post about a German Bratwurst i will call it Bratwurst and not fried sausage. get a life man.

Yes, of course, I was just joking around a little.

 

It is just my pet peeve when people use transliterated thai words for no reason. His entire post was about a meal using normal words then throw in a thai transliteration for no reason. It's kind of like people saying come to my soi instead of street. I just find it retarded.  Using the word fuk tong is just pointless in this case. Because it isn't even a thai pumpkin. It didn't originate here it was imported.  So very different than using bratwurst since that is descriptive and tells people what type of sausage it is.

 

To me it is the same as showing a can of baked beans and saying. I ate some delicious roasted tua. Just pointless thaiglish garbage.

at home, when it pertains to food we use quite some Germlish, Spanglish and sometimes even Frenchlish at home and that since 38 years. our cook prepares divine fried potatoes using a mixture of bacon and ham. she is a Burmese citizen but ethnic Indian and asks once in a while "Sah'b-Ji, what about crusty Bratkartoffel with Speck today? it's more than a week that you had some."

 

and when the meal is ready she reports "jaldi Sah'b-Ji! Bratkartoffel hogia hai".

you've all heard of tacos al pastor?...howzabout tacos a la francaise?...

 

flour tortilla with left over carrot salad prepared with dijon and shallots (see previous post)...mmmm, good...

 

the general idea: make a batch of flour tortillas (google to find a million recipes) and keep in the freezer, then when yer lookin' t'see what's in the fridge fer breakfast remember them then take any left overs, reheat in the microwave, warm up the tortillas and assemble with condiments and salad...a hearty breakfast taco/burrito to keep ye goin 'till lunchtime...leftover curried beans/dahl/chilli really hits the spot...as does leftover stir fried anything with an egg cracked in fer a binder...

 

the possibilities are endless...

 

(a housemate in Oakland 45 years ago who considered sandwiches to be indicative of barbarism looks in the fridge to find full fat cottage cheese, fresh corn tortillas and La Victoria Salsa Ranchera...et voila, cottage cheese tacos...tutsi was goggle eyed...)

one should never underestimate partners even if the hail from a completely different cultural or "food background". when we got married my wife was capable to heat up water and pour it in a coup over a teabag. we lived in Saudi Arabia and she was not really interested to look over the shoulder of our Ethiopian cook because "the kitchen was not airconditioned". but the real reason was that this Habashi lady was extremely good looking, had big boobs and a beautiful derrière and was cooking for me (as well as rendering multiple other services) several years before we got married.

 

later she (the Mrs.) spent about three weeks with my mother and grandmother in Germany. from what i gathered they must have spent each and every day cooking and baking from morning till evening and miraculously the rather short time was enough to learn most of the basics. her final cooking and baking honing was done a year later in Nigeria when we had a cook who worked for several years in the German embassy in Cameroun. even now she likes cooking using and teaching our present cook at least once a week.

 The food is called fuk tong, Thai for pumpkin.

 

 

It's pronounced 'fak thong'.  It's also spelt that way in Thai.   ฟักทอง  Copy and paste that into Google Translate and click on the little loudspeaker at the bottom of the Thai to hear it spoken correctly.

 

For some reason people keep transliterating the word wrongly and write 'u' instead of 'a'.  It's the fault of the Thai transliteration system mainly, but it is incorrect.  

 

And whilst Americans might prefer to call is 'squash'  it is pumpkin elsewhere

Well this American calls it pumpkin and here is some spicy Thai pumpkin curry (geng fak thong). Delicious with brown jasmine rice...

[Skeptic7]

Still more fun to say "fuk" over "fak" even if incorrect!

Looks good stuff, that curry.  I like pumpkin.  I had barely ever eaten it until I came to Thailand but I eat it quite regularly now.  

 

I made a pumpkin and pepper soup a few months ago.  Roasted some pumpkin, fried onion and garlic, then some sweet (bell) peppers, whizzed it up with a stick blender.  Done in 15 minutes.  Very nice too with some decent bread.

 

Please excuse the poor quality photos.  My phone camera is dying.

So rather like  'Shut yer gob' in English, or in  the part where I come from 'Had ya gob'.

unknowingly i had a moderately spiced pumpkin soup (part of a set menue) a couple of years ago. the taste was excellent. if i had known before what it was i wouldn't have tried a single spoon.

Yes, I edited my earlier  post to see what others thought about posting it.  I go on other forums where they don't like long posts.

 

So here goes ...

 

Pumpkin and sweet pepper soup

 

Ingredients  (quantities can be varied depending on how many people)

 

About 2 lbs (1 kg) of pumpkin or butternut squash

4 sweet peppers, yellow or red

1 whole bulb of garlic, sliced in half across the middle (no need to peel)

1 medium onion

1 litre  (or more) of chicken, ham or bacon stock

Olive oil (or sunflower oil)

I large pinch oregano or mixed herbs

Scant teaspoon cumin powder

Scant teaspoon coriander powder

 

Method

 

Take a roasting pan and add olive or other oil.  Remove seeds and cut pumpkin into sections and rub them in the oil on both sides then dust with the dried herbs, 

Put pumpkin and both halves of garlic into a hot oven until a knife slides easily into the pumpkin, about 1 hour.  Leave to cool in the oven.

Meanwhile, dice the onion and some garlic cloves, and gently fry in oil until transparent, NOT browned. 

Cut the sweet peppers into strips, and part way through, add to  the onion until everything is soft.  Add spices during cooking.

When the pumpkin pieces are cool enough to handle, use a spoon to scoop out the flesh into a heavy saucepan.  Add a pinch more herbs and some of the stock.  Squeeze the soft pulpy garlic into the flesh in the pan.

Using a stick blender, start to blitz the pumpkin, adding stock as necessary. 

When the pumpkin has been broken down, add the onions and pepper mix a bit at a time, blending and adding stock until all is smooth. 

Add more of the spices and oregano or mixed herbs to taste and stir in.
