    We went to restaurant with a bib gourmand from the Michelin guide. Scary entrance dow a lot of stairs to the river bank with wobbly low handrails culminating in a rickety bridge. Food was terrific. A green they call kale in Thailand that I think is choi sam with salt fish. Catfish stir fried with Chinese celery. Highlight was deep fried whole tiny fish with whole unpeeled cloves of garlic with a spicy dipping sauce (& ketchup for farangs like my husband who can’t handle heat).

    Today we travelled to provincial capital Ubon Ratchatani still in NE Isaan. We ate at a place specialised in Southern Thai cooking. We ordered clear soup, nam prik (=raw veg with hot dip) with crab meat and coconut and a clam curry. I found it all too sweet for my taste.

    I’ve had a nam prik whose main ingredients were pineapple and fermented fish sauce. I believe it’s a Lao dish.

    Our new hotel in Ubon Ratchatani has options for eastern or western breakfast. This is an asian option. Heinz products adapted for the Thai market.

    @acpgee I’m enjoying your dispatches from Thailand. That’s some dangerous-looking Heinz 🥵 Thanks for showing the water apples, that’s a fruit I had never seen before. So pretty.

    @SafariGalNYC Your lunch on a grey rainy day looks elegant. I love the three drinks.

    @janicemlove Sorry you’re sick, I hope you can stay home and take it easy.

    Snack: Paté made with chicken liver, sherry wine, truffles, mushrooms, and Brandy aspic. Plus Honeycrisp apple. A winning combination in my book 😋

    From the book The Real Meal Revolution: Warm Haddock and Cauliflower Salad with Tahini Dressing (scroll down past the article to see the recipe -- I have made all three of the featured recipes, and while the other two were not worthwhile, this one was fantastic). I used smoked trout because I couldn't get haddock. I also replaced most of the butter with olive oil, to cut back on the saturated fat. I wouldn't call this a salad, but that's my only criticism.

    If you haven’t tried mangosteen they are similar to lychee only sweeter and tarter with a creamier texture. A cross between lychee and a peach. Water apple was new to me. Slightly sweet and thirst quenching and crisp. A cross between persimmon and celery.

    We had lunch at a pitstop for locals. Pork noodle soup and a spring roll served traditionally with perilla leaf for wrapping.
