The Missus says these are Isaan almonds or Gabok?

On closer inspection no.
Think you are a bit mixed up there. Galangal is more like ginger, and looks almost exactly like it.Quote:

Ahh, its just some seeds then:)
Hard to find so my missus sez. I'm not surprised. The Thais'll steal anything that's not nailed down.
They're roasted broad beans.
Did they originally look like this before you got your fat mits on to them?

Trees plentiful in Roi Et. Roast the seeds and use wood to make charcoal.

Apologies for the mistake. Put me glasses on, and it's as clear as daylight that they're not roasted broad beans.Quote:

We had a palm tree die in the garden, and when I chopped it down the trunk was full of these. They look like the witchetty grubs the Aussies love to eat, but even our chickens wouldn't touch them.

Cicada grubs.
Thanks for that. There must have been two or three hundred in the one tree. No wonder it died.
You're not supposed to eat these ones - just sayin.
When even the chickens turned them down I thought it a pretty good indicator!
Do you even Asia now KW? 5555Quote:
