Yum Ped Ob??
When we lived in the milltails of Babylon on Potomac, we used to go to a favorite restaurant where my greatest favorite was a dish I can describe as what duck salad would be if it could. The restaurant offered both Laotian and Thai food, and I can never remember which one Yum Ped Ob belonged to. Will a Thai restaurant in the Blue Ridge know what I'm asking for? Or do I have to find a Laotian one?? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck, Double Retiree, Not Quite Clueless Linux Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. |

Or do I have to find a Laotian one?? Lao and Thai are similar. The Isan dialect in Thailand includes a lot of Lao words and expressions. This is a Thai dish, though -- There are many transliteration of Thai, but: - Yum or yam is a salad, literally means tossed, mixed together - Ped or pet is duck - Ob or op is baked, roasted, broiled You may also see it as "Yam Pet Yang" where "yang" means grilled, roasted, or barbequed. Here in the US, it is typically made with Chinese-style roast duck. For more information about Thai food, see: http://www.panix.com/~clay/cookbook/...tents.cgi?thai I love when someone asks a question about Thai food! :) -- Clay Irving > Well, enough of these vague generalities. On to the vague specifics. - Larry Wall, in "Apocalypse 3". |
