In the golden days of rec.food.historic we helped the Oxford English
Dictionary find the earliest use in the printed English language of 'tom yam'. Today OED online issued the following new entry for "tom yam kung": [1952 S. SONAKUL Everyday Siamese Dishes ix. 6 (heading) The ordinary kaeng tom yam is made of fish and plain water.] 1969 R. BRISSENDEN S.E. Asian Food 225 This is the ‘pure’ version of Tom Yam Kung. For our discussion search on Google groups for the keywords "tom yam rec.food.historic" I am now wondering whether anybody knows of a use earlier than 1952. |
