Why the food section? You don't want to say that som tam is food, aren's you?

I'm quite partial to a fruit som tam - the usual chilli, garlic, lime, dried shrimps, bean and tomtao - but also with carrot, pineapple, apple, grapes and various other fruity bits. Mmmmm.

They got figs her they tell me are poisonous. and I hafve nvere seen a ripe guava you could be right, But with their penchant for eatin unripe fruit I won't actually belive it until I get a tree of my own and watch it grow. Was a treat when in Fiji, eatin ripe guava off the tree...

Yup I agree. Lets pay somebody 1,000 baht to let one damn guava grow, I am sure we could end only paying 100b each to damn well find out. Gotta be 10 curious guys here??!!

I'm in!

When in Fiji as i was eatin ripe guavas; we had these guys would walk up a cocnut tree and fetch the guests a coconut. The Fillipina office girl would batt 'er doe-like brown eyes at them big fiji boys, get em to climb the trees for unripe mangos and go out in the forest for unripe guavas.

Fijians thought she was cazy as hell, they like their fruit fallin off the tree.

Fijian entrepeneur; gather a buncha mangos that have fallen off a tree, set up a stand 100 meters down the street and try 'n sell 'em to motorists. You'd pull off the road and pick all you could carry from the tree or off the ground and they wondered why they weren't makin' money!
