Nice presentation

I have no idea what kind of cheese this is, but it was fabulous. It was served as a dessert at a decent restaurant in Italy. The cheese itself was very light and sweet, with a berry sauce on the side. I can barely get any cheese here in Asia, let alone these more unique types. My mouth is salivating now just looking at the photo.

cow tongue

Here’s a photo of a cow tongue being served in a nice, european restaurant.  Many people may think it’s quite strange or gross, but it’s actually a very tender and tasty cut of beef.  I posted this photo because it’s in stark contrast to one of the odd things I could post from Thailand.  What might be seen as a luxory food or delicious meal in Europe can also be served in Thailand, although in different circumstances.

In Bangkok I occassionaly see the ‘pig head’ vendor at the end of my street.  This vendor has a whole, cooked pig head (or two) in the morning and throughout the day chops bits of it for the customers.  You can request the tongue or the more exotic pieces: chin, cheek, ear, snout, forehead, etc.  That’s right, nothing goes to waste.  Some parts are a bit chewy, but others are nice and tender.  The meat is usually served with a spicy chili sauce for dipping.  Not quite the same as Europe, but it all gets eaten in the end.

Gourmet rabbit

This is another European gourmet meal: rabbit.  It tasted quite good and seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.  What is strange is the fact that I have never seen nor heard of Thais eating rabbit!  They seem to eat just about anything over here yet while I do see live rabbits around, they are exclusively sold as pets. I can’t really think of an explanation for this either.  Anybody else heard of Thais (or other asians)  eating rabbit on a regular basis?
