I finally made it to a metro area and hit a small Asian mrkt, more an
import shop with some foodstuffs. I was in such a hurry to get so
much done in a couple days, I didn't remember much of the stuff I
really wanted. I did get the freshest szechuan pepper I've ever
found. I also got some coconut milk and a can of coconut "cream",
something I've never seen canned. Got the noodles I wanted and a
couple jars of LeeKumKee sauces and a jar of Indonesian sambal. Not a
bad haul.

No Asian market excursion can be considered a success if you leave
without any pork uteri.

The one thing I really *do* buy at Asian markets is duck, especially
the wings. That, and ripe jalapenos. I wish that the closer
international foods market had fresh duck.

I'm surprised you blew the money on it if you did not intend to eat it.
:-) I've taken plenty of pics with my digicam at MT and they never
seemed to care. You could have just taken a pic in the meat case. One of
these years I'm going to set up a picture series and post it.

It's my understanding that Lopez CoC, the std ingredient in pina
coladas, and the brand you are most likely to find in liquor stores,
is a whole different animal than true CoC, which comes from the fat
solids that rise to the top of the milk from pressed soaked coconut
meat. Some Thai recipe cooking websites openly warn against using
Lopez instead of real coconut milk like Mae Ploy brand.

Kasma Loha-unchit, the SFBA Thai cookbook author/teacher, offers this
advice on good coconut milk/cream:

The liquid found in a coconut is called "coconut water." Getting coconut
milk requires a lot of work. My neighbor used to make coconut milk which
required that he grate the coconut meat first. He used a stool with a
grater attached to it. I never saw how he got the milk out of the grated
coconut but the milk was used to make a coconut pudding called haupia.

That guy was really old-school and would dig a pit in his backyard to
roast a whole pig. I was just a kid at the time but if I were about 6 or
so years older, I would have spent more time learning about all of his
old-school ways. These days, hardly anybody knows how to build an imu.

The problem with the canned coconut milk sold in the US is that there's
no information on the amount of fat in the product.

Yep. Not the same thing, at all.

Basically, it's the same as making horchata and soy milk. You take
shredded coconut and soak it in water and then squeeze the resulting
liquid out. Easier to buy canned. I recently ran across a can of all
cream in a can, but haven't tried it. In the past, I've purchased
frozen coconut cream. Mae Ploy used to have as much as 40% cream by
content. For a time, Kasma warned MP brand had cheapened, having less
cream, but I don't see her continuing that complaint on her site.

???

I jes bought 3 different brands and they all list the fat content.
It's required by law.

I think you're right about that. What I meant is that it should be on
the front of the can. I can't say that I've ever looked at the nutrition
label on that stuff. I just gauge it by opening up the can and looking. :-)

I've never read that info before but think that I'll resist looking and
remain ignorant and happy. I'm going to make some Thai style curry and
it's probably better that way... :-)

All the people who buy the cream of coconut from the drinks aisle? It's
a simple enough drink to make.

Because the grocery store manager wants people to wander all over the store
looking for it. Maybe they'll run across other things they've been meaning
to buy.

All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently
opposed. Third, it is accepted as being
self-evident. --Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

Pina colada is one of my favorite drinks to make at home, hardly worth
schmutzing a blender for anything less. Goya Coco Lopez is a staple,
can't make smoothies without... gotta have Horlicks.com too... hellova
