Foods                                                                                                                                              

Thought I would make a seperate post of some of the foods here.  Some of these you have seen in other posts but thought I would put them all together.  Some I posted on facebook are on other cameras than mine.  Will try to get them here.

                                     
    
                                                                          Dragon Fruit
                                                          The seeds are like poppy seeds.

 

Queen of Fruit

There are little sections much like an orange.

A couple of the sections will have a large seed in them.

 

The lunch I had during camp day at school

Fried rice, local grown corn & Queen of Fruit

 

A meal here at home

local grown corn, the ever present soup and

another hot dish (by hot I mean spicy), pastry a lady brought to me

the one looks like a rosette and tastes like it

rice cakes in the top right

 

Chicken soup and warm milk

brought to me when I had the first bout with

Asian Revenge

 

Lunch on the river

bottom left is an "omlet" other dishes with squid

and shrimp and of course the soup

 

At the outdoor market

Long beans, lemons and some of their herbs

 

Red and white onions and herbs

 

Eggs

I have never seen them refrigerated even in a grocery store

or home.

100 baht is $3.00 so a flat of eggs is about $3.00

 

Fresh fish

Mackerel or Tialapia

 

Peppers, onions, garlic

 

Peppers drying in a nighbor's shed

 

Tapioca pancakes

 

Mushrooms growing at the school

They have many types of mushrooms that they use

but the school grows this one

 

When you get a sandwich it is shaped like this, no crusts

some are triangular.  They are usually put in a press and the

sides are sealed.

 

Jack Fruit

The fruit is taken out of the coverings like in the

piece to the left.

It is a big fruit and this is only a piece of it

 

Lhong is holding the piece up so you can see what

the outside looks like

 

Dried squid

You go up to the hanger and select the one you want

and buy it by the size.

Does not look good to me so did not try it.

 

My lobster dinner

Butter and garlic over the top.

 

Noodles, noodles, noodles

every shape and length but usually made of rice

 

Drying red onions

These have dried a while and the roots on the bottom

have been dut off.

 

Purple sweet potato

Tastes like ours

 

Part of breakfast in hotel

Yes, salad veggies for breakfast

All 3 meals of the day are similar with raw veggies, some type

of soup and meat, usually fish, chicken, and/or pork

 

One of 4 hot dishes at hotel breakfast

They call the item on the right sausages

we call them mini hotdogs or weiners.

 

Another soup in a cafe

This pan is brought out with broth in it and put on a burner.

We then add the ingredients and cook them at our table.

 

 

Batty rolling a bamboo shoot mixture in banana leaves.

 

They are then steamed.

 

Pri pealing fruit from bamboo.

 

A breakfast at Toon's house.

Her sister told me not to eat what is in the 3 little bowls

and the 2 below them.  She said it would hurt my stomach.

They really like spicy foods.

She had made me an omlet and the fried side pork in

the larger dish.

The greens reminded me of grass but are herbs they eat.

 

 

A neighbor sells this tastey refreshing dish.

In 100 degree weather this ice, fruit, bread, jello dish

sure is good.
