Thanks...was that...?

I've had a good day of training here in the Bangkok office.  The team here is wonderful and have been such great hosts to me.  They keep coming into the office asking me if I want coffee or tea or a snack.  I keep saying "no thank you, I am fine" and they keep coming back with little snacks and treats. 

They just brought me in a little plate with three round cakes on it.  It has been a couple of hours since lunch...real pad thai by the way - amazing...so thought why not try it as a snack.  (I should probably note here that I really wasn't hungry but always feel bad turning down local food when in a new country.)  So, I went ahead and tried it...the cake part was flaky like a croissant and didn't have a lot of flavor...just dough-like.  I took a look at the inside and saw some chunky pink stuff mixed in with the flaky stuff...I figured it was something sweet...they did insist it was sweet...so took another bite.  It was at this point in time of my little Thai cake eating experience that I had to ask myself...was that fish I just tasted?  Not just fish but some sort of fish paste mixed with sugar...they did insist it was sweet...not at all what I was expecting.  Instead, it has the taste of pink salmon mixed with molasses and maybe a sweet cream cheese all blended together and mushed into a paste type consistency???  I'm not sure I'm describing this correctly but have just eaten it and wanted to blog immediately to capture it as best I could.

I am now in a bit of a dilemma...I am in a conference room with a half eaten little Thai cake and two more on the plate.  There is no trash can in here and I really hate to be rude...somebody left the office especially to go and get these for me.  What am I supposed to do?  Do I politely leave the half eaten little Thai cake on the plate with the others and say I wasn't too fond of it?  Of course I really want to say...thanks...was that fish???in the cake???that was mixed with sugar???
