New Thai Appetizer Recipe

I read this and then looked, looked good till I saw the minced quail. . .

and started laughing like crazy.

The only quail I can find around here are ridiculously priced whole frozen ones. As for ordering from a butcher, well that dashing equine is staying in the barn, cuz' I ain't never gonna order, butcher or online. . . too rich for my thin blood.

Now, chopped chicken thighs, I can handle. More in the intersection of my cheapness and availability of ingredients!

I guess am a lazya** at heart (and pocketbook). smileys/smile.gif

I'm thinking of using the recipe to stuff dumpling skins or eggroll wrappers sometime as well.

As for corn nuts for peanuts, never. And Mrs. B's for palm sugar, sounds like a White Trash cookbook version of something!

 
Cilantro root

Bite me. Use the cilantro stems instead. It's hard to find the root here too. (Just don't).

Seriously, it's rare to find it in the Asian groceries in this part of the world, unfortunately. The stems work just fine to impart that flavor.

And if you DO find the unicorn horn, I have a great suggestion for where you should put it.

 
Our organic store sells cilantro with the roots attached > they last longer. Pok Pok recommends them

as well. If it's good enough for Pok Pok and Marc, it's good enough for me.
