This is another European gourmet meal: rabbit. Â It tasted quite good and seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary. Â What is strange is the fact that I have never seen nor heard of Thais eating rabbit! Â They seem to eat just about anything over here yet while I do see live rabbits around, they […]

Here’s one that isn’t all too common here in Bangkok, although I did find it in a local grocery store: crocodile jerky. There’s not much to say about this one except its very tough and very tasteless. I’m sure crocodile jerky could be spiced up a lot, but this being a Chinese brand it’s not […]

Here’s a dish I didn’t really enjoy, a knew I wouldn’t enjoy, but still had to purchase it anyway simply for the photo value. This is literally chicken bits to the fullest extent. I am unsure what it’s called in Thai, so I just call it chicken insides (kruang nai gai [เครื่à¸à¸‡à¹ƒà¸™à¹„à¸à¹ˆ]). If you look […]

The title of this post may be a bit deceiving. Â Unhatched wouldn’t work because no egg is hatched. ‘Egg that hasn’t come out of the chicken yet’ doesn’t quite sound right. Â Unborn wouldn’t work…or would it? Anyway, This is certainly one of the stranger dishes I’ve tried in my time over here. The taste is […]

Look at these tasty fried birds. I’m not sure what kind of bird they are, perhaps pigeons or something like that. In Thai its simply called fried bird (nok tawt [นà¸à¸—à¸à¸”]). I’m not sure what the appeal is with these either. There’s barely any meat on them and its mostly just crunchy bones and miscellaneous […]
Well, this is a dish I hope not to eat again anytime soon. Take all the pieces of a chicken you wouldn’t usually eat, throw them in a skillet, add a few seasonings, and this is what you get. To be honest, the taste wasn’t all that bad. It’s mostly just the chewy, chunky, stringy, […]
This here is an image of ยำà¹à¸¢à¸«à¸™à¸¡ [yam naem] which literally translates to sausage salad. That sounds pretty innocent, but it actually doesn’t contain sausage – at least not in the western sense. The main ingredient is pig skin (boiled, I believe). Chewy, thick, julienned, tasteless pig skin. The saving grace is the other main […]
I just had to snap a photo of this snack from a roadside stand in Laos. It was somewhere between Luang Prabong and Vang Vien, to be specific. I’m not exactly sure what part of this is edible, but there they were, a couple trays full of them, all nicely bundled up. Unfortunately the photo […]
