Fun with food...Thai style
Wednesday, November 25, 2009
This is look choob. This is a Thai dessert. This looks pretty and sweet but they are odd...I've thought long and hard about how to accurately describe them and all I can come up with is odd. I am sorry that I am not a more creative blogger but I honestly don't know if there is a more accurate description than odd. These are made of steamed green beans, coconut milk, and sugar. The green bean paste is then molded into a shape of a variety of tropical fruits and then is dip-coated in jelly that gives it a shiny look.
They look pretty and sweet don't they? I have tasted them and they are not so sweet and the prettiness does not make up for the odd taste. Now...they do not taste like fish so am okay with that...they just look a lot prettier than they taste. So...since somebody bought me all of these and I didn't want to eat them all...I've instead decided to dissect them.
This is the specimen:
This is what the specimen looks like when you break apart. Please notice the green bean paste.
This is a close-up so that you can really see what the green bean paste looks like.
This is what happens when you take all of the jelly coatings off and put them on your fingers:
This is what happens when you take the green bean paste and have a little fun with it:
And this is the end of the fun with food - Thai look choob version. The end...

hmmm... didn't you post something about free margaritas?
And it * is * finger food, right?
One of my Japanese colleagues brought back a box of beautiful-looking little pastries from a trip home...we eagerly gathered around them because they were filled with what looked like custard or Boston cream or something of the like. Turns out it was mashed up cold POTATO. Goo.
