On my earlier post I went to a place in North Thailand, at Pak Nai. Of course since it was a working trip, we also had a little party at night. Food are the usual but really spicy, well that's how they prepare food and I can't complain. anyway, they are delicious. Food were served ... and we were having dinner. yum yum... a little later... ............ three bowls spicy curry were served. I saw the face of my male co workers go so excited and as foreigner, they were excited to let me have a taste of it. Since they were insistent ... I suspect that this is something hmm not fishy... but different. Anyway, they were so excited and really insisting to eat it. I noticed that one female teacher doesn't like to eat too, but here comes an older co worker who took a spoon and ate it. See she ate.. they told me.. Ok OK... i don't like to disappoint and burst their bubbles.. so I took one cut. Told them, what is this? Thai nationals don't speak English so... I spoke in Thai.. "Arai mai?" they all laughed. Ngo? (snake?) nooooo .. not snake... hmmm... maa (dog?) mai chai(means no)... still suspecting... I really asked what.. chicken chicken they were all telling me but with big grin ... hmmmm... ok ok.. they said.. "Aroi Mai"(Delicious?) I said Yes" Another platter came in.. this time it was grilled. So I really feel awkward because they were all laughing. I asked again.. they said, chicken chicken.. huh? this? chicken? I told them.. No it is not chicken.... Then someone in the group said.. "meow" (Thai term for cat). I knew it. "it was a wild cat) ... then someone took something from his mouth... yes a bullet. hahaha It was a real wild cat, I saw the raw when someone brought the uncooked meat. I did not take picture of it, that's not good to see. Please don't throw up... I am just sharing my experience. Well when in Thailand, do what Thais do.
