Here’s a nice collection of some less common meats. Â I certainly wouldn’t consider these rare or strange, but we don’t see them all that often. Â And they sure are tasty! Â This is venison, goose, and pheasant all three of which my friend hunted and smoked for our eating pleasure. Â We should have made some Thai […]

What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than with a Tofurky? Actually these photos were taken in April, but that’s besides the point. What we have here is a totally vegan imitation turkey. Unfortunately this one isn’t molded into the shape of a turkey like the one I saw last year, but it certainly tasted a […]

Here’s a strange one that unfortunately I haven’t had the opportunity to try yet. These photos were taken in an Asian grocery store in New York City I don’t know much about geoduck, but I’ll definitely need to add it to my ‘To Eat’ list.

Here’s another tasty appetizer from good old Dinosaur BBQ. Â I wouldn’t consider this meat overwhelmingly strange, but I would say that it’s strange not to see more Asians eating it. Â Around Thailand there is a lot of crocodiles and alligators, but I have never seen it on a menu. Â The only times I’ve seen these […]

Someday soon I’ll have a giant list of the weird foods I’ve eaten over the past few years. It’ll be an enjoyable way to kill a few minutes of your time. This post is really just filler material for now.

This one was a hard one to find any information on. I knew it was a palm fruit, but apparently there isn’t much information on the internet about these. In Thai its called luk dtan [ลูà¸à¸•à¸²à¸¥] and I finally tracked down a possible English name: sugar palm, toddy palm, or borassus flabellifer. I would consider […]
Here we have a freshly purchased bag of oysters (hoi nang rom [หà¸à¸¢à¸™à¸²à¸‡à¸£à¸¡]). Oysters are plentiful and cheap in Thailand, although not as good as those from abroad. I find the Thai ones to be quite large and somewhat sweet. They are very cheap, though. That bag there cost about $1. No matter where your […]

This is an exquisite Thai dessert. Jackfruit stuffed with sweet sticky rice and covered in sweetened coconut cream (khao niaw kanun [ข้าวเหนียวขนุน]). The different jackfruit pieces also have different flavors of sticky rice in them (notice the colors?) but I’m not sure what they are. There’s not much else to say about this one except […]

This here is one of my favorite Thai desserts. I call it pumpkin pie, although technically the filling is a custard. Thai’s call it fak tawng sangkayaa [à¸à¸±à¸à¸—à¸à¸‡ สังขยา]. The cool part, as you can see, is that it is actually cooked in the pumpkin itself! This works out great for me because I always […]

Sorry about the photo. I guess I was hungry. This is my leftover yam bplaa salid [ยำปลา่สลิด], which basically translates as a sun-dried fish salad. There’s nothing too interesting about the salad, just your typical yam (Thai style sour and spicy). The fish is what’s interesting. Basically, this is deep-fried pieces of fish, bones and […]
