[Telgar]

True story: within a day of reading the initial post mentioning Durian Shakes I'm at my niece and nephew's house. Their mom asks if we all want one- we of course say yes. Five minutes later, I'm sitting on the Living Room floor (next to the kitchen) wondering where the smell of cat urine was coming from. They don't own a cat. In walks the shakes and I have my answer. We all drank them anyway- they taste great- just don't smell it. :lol:

Lol too bad.

I'm surprised i'm the only woman you know that likes them. All my other friends like durians. Durian farm? Sounds like a trap!

Look closer. Those aren't peanuts, they're monkey testicles!

Sounds like a trap!
IT'S A TARP!

The only thing worse than Durian with Durian Shakes is Rotted Shark with Seagull Wine.

[Spadesy]

Yep. Thailand had all sorts of wonderful and crazy seafoods to eat with spicy stuff I couldn't comprehend followed by a couple very-superb Tiger beers.

I'm talkin' squids and intestines people. Check and mate.

As the monkey was brought down the hall and a toast to prosperity was made, the waiter presented the men with their tools of destruction. Secured in a special trap, the animal was now ready to become the main dish. Following a few simple instructions, the men at the table were prepared for the kill. After a matter of seconds, the gruesome ritual had ended; the skull was carved open for the delicate brains inside. While this continued it occurred to to me that within the confines of this elegant restaurant, people were paying exorbitant prices to play the role of a hunter. A definite ritual had been established and there was very little difference between what I had witnessed at this restaurant and the ceremony of the *indecipherable*. The human being was killing for celebration, ready to devour the animal slaughtered. Throughout history, it was believed that by eating the brains of the sacred animal, a new source of wisdom would be inherited, bringing those who ate this delicacy closer to God. Watching a living animal die before their eyes and then having to eat the lifeless remains caused amusing responses from each of the tourists. When I asked the man with the hearty appetite why he enjoyed the meal, he replied, "If I can get closer to God by eating brains, why not?" The human reaction to death in this particular environment was highly instructive; flavour became incidental, taste totally ignored, for the spiritual human mind became the saviour at this meal of death.

...squid and intestines are quite delicious - depending on the preparation. grilled intestines of ANY animal (yes, i said, ANY), then dipped in hot sauce is an awesome addition to any drinking party. and how can you not like squid? delicioso. fried, grilled, stewed in ink, or whatever - squid = awesome.

Squid are OK, the stuff Dusty tallking about is a dried grilled squid from Thailand. They taste kinda like rancid shortribs mixed with anchovies and garlic. We used to eat them to chase the prostitutes.

...but those things are actually good! with beer that is...

i've heard to most Foriners that Natto can be nasty...but my teacher says that with rice and some soy sauce its acctualy bareable? that true?

Natto is an acquired taste due to its powerful smell (which tends to leave its consumer with unpleasant breath), strong flavor and sticky consistency.
Natto is delicious because of the smell.

Pâté de foie gras better than natto.
When I ate this, I almost vomited.
So I became Pate's enthusiastic fan at once.
I love this food's feces smell.

Maybe after a case or two, but then you have to watch carfully because impared judgement may lead to picking up a katoey.

[Kstyle]

What's best, cold sake or hot sake?

Bwhahahaha!!

So there was this one time, a guy I knew...who will remain nameless because that's the way he'd want it...beat the everliving bijesus out of a katoey one night after "discovering the truth," and the next morning was 15 minutes late for meeting up. The conclusion was agreed upon...he probably cut his wrists in the tub.

Well, he didn't. But that morning he sure looked like he wanted to.

[Bernard_Monsha]

As a general rule some are very hard to spot but all katoey have clammy hands.

Dusty did you see them eating those giant water beetles stuffed with rice?

[Spadesy]

Those big black critters generally served in those tasty back alley places? Heck, I ate one...wasn't as bad as it looked really.

and for dessert... CHILLED MONKEY BRAIN!

[Spadesy]

Life's all about doing things that most people would think suck, then finding out:

A.) It does, in fact, suck
B.) It doesn't suck, it's actually good

And constantly discovering option B will make you stronger than everybody else. :)

What have you been eating?

Animal intestines make my stomach churn, and they're almost always unhealthy and full of fat.

I can't tell you honestly what the food was, because I can't understand Thai let alone pronounce most of the words on the menu.

I don't have the stuff on a frequent basis...but I was in a place that my friend deemed WAY crazier than Amsterdam, and he's been there. As a result, with him, I did lots of stupid (and fun) things and ate lots of gross (and fun) things.

Forgive me Mel, forgive me, I'm impure. :shifty:
