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 […]

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 […]

Now this vegetable here, the common artichike, may not seem so strange to most readers but I figured I’d give a change of perspective. Â This is one of those things that we ten to take as normal, but many Asians would look at this with curiousity and intrigue. Â A bit similar to cheese which, although […]
