    don't be so fukking touchy.

    i didn't think anybody could open threads in the famous sections of any of the forums.
    that is why i posed the question

    as far as i was aware, they are reserved for famous threads that get moved there by DD when he sees fit.

    'Nam som' is either orange juice or white vinegar.

    Vinegar as we know it is 'win-e-gaaaa'.

    Agreed but as he has said "nom" it could be some kind of milk
    "nom sot" would be fresh milk

    Yeah, but he's old, so maybe his hearing is a bit iffy.

    I thought vinegar was nam som sai chu. Can it be called nam som for short?

    Yes. For instance 'prik nam som' is the nice chilli stuff that goes with your noodles.

    It's orange juice, but if you put the high stress on the som part it's white rice vinegar. Chitown, you should know by now that Thais take the shortest shortcuts with everything.

    nam som vs. nam SOM

    I figured that it was but have heard it called a much longer name in Thai than that!
