Here’s a plate of catfish pieces from Dinosaur BBQ.  I prefer to call them catfish ‘fingers’.  nothing too odd about these, but they are very different from the catfish in Thailand.  Thais eat a lot of catfish (bplaa duk [ปลาดุà¸]) prepared in many ways.  Thailand is also known for some of the largest catfish in […]

Here’s an entree of scallops from a restaurant in Rochester. Nothing too strange about this one, but it was so tasty I couldn’t resist posting the picture. Â While scallops are common in some asian cuisines, it is rare to find them in Thailand. Â As far as I know, even though the use of shellfish is […]

Well, everytim I make it back to the US, I must have a trash plate at some point during the trip. Â Here’s this visit’s. Â Wow it makes my mouth water just looking at this photo. Â Too bad there’s nothing like this available in Bangkok.

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 […]
