Its banned from the fridge and even the Thai kitchen fridge - i kin hate the stuff.

I hate everything about those shrubs. The thorns are brutal. Mot Dang love the crap, it smells god awful sour and bitter. I have us down to 2 bushes now and that is 2 too many. I told my wife let me yank'em up.

She says "No because she uses it cooking".
I said "So then buy it when you need it. Its not like you cook with it everyday. I see the crap at every market for 5 bht"

555 JPPR good luck with getting her to rip them out. They either use the tips in Nam Prik with other assorted veggies or make them into omelettes, either way God awful. You're lucky you've only got two, we have 20 and yes the thorns are brutal not huge but every time i get caught they persist with a dull pain for upto a day - i may apply Glysophate and just say to her there must be some disease affecting them
