Have you ever tried Miang Kum? Coconut and lime are two of its components.

No but I'll sure watch for it. What would I be looking for?

This is a Thai dish, where various little tidbits, including pieces of
coconut and lime, are served in leaves. Very nice juxtaposition of
tastes. I can be more specific later but am about to go out.

I'm not familiarn with it. I'll have to look that one up, but I would
probably like it.

If you fail in your search, I'll provide more clues. :-)

I keep thinking I'll make them instead of just eating them in
restaurants.


Well, I did learn from my Thai friend at work that it is a conmmon Thai
appetizer or snack, but he said that it could take various forms, including
beingmade into a roll or just various components on a plate. His wife
makes it frequently. Perhaps I could get a sample? :-)

Hard to imagine on a plate! I suppose one could mix up the various
components and eat them with a spoon though.... It also involves a
sauce, which would be the, er, sticking point for me.

I didn't see what these were called when I bought them at our local
Hispanic Market. I only knew I had to have some.

The lime peel tastes and feels like it was simmered in sugar water.
It's not candied but soft skinned and a little sweet, not sticky.

The coconut is just plain unsweetened coconut from a bag.

A fun different treat.

Wait a minute...I thought you were supposed to put the lime in the coconut,
not the other way around!
