    YES! To the Kampot pepper crab! Without a doubt, the best meal I’ve ever eaten was at Kep Crab market on New Year’s Day exactly 15 years ago. The Crab The Pepper, as it was named on the menu was cooked by an elderly looking grandmother, baby in one arm, wok in the other and washed down with a can or three of the local 7% stout. Thanks for including this unique and delicious dish 🦀 ❤ 🤤

      I'm writing this without looking it up, so I might be wrong, but to my knowledge it's more or less the same pepper plant you'd find anywhere- it's the climate, soil, and growing conditions that make it so flavorful.

      I saw you mentioned herb sausage in Laos. Your understanding on E-San Thai and Laos shares a food culture along the border. Those shares between Laos and Northern Thai, too. The herb sausages are also widely eaten in Northern Thai as well. You may see the sausage selling in Chiangmai but I would recommend sausage as well as Laab Kua (Northern Laab) and Loo (raw beef spicy salad) from Phrae instead. In the past, they used buffalo meat but it rarely can be seen now.
      For me, Kao Soi from Mae Hong Son is the best. It also shares a food culture with Tai Yai. The difference is they use black sweet soy sauce as another seasoning that can't be found in Chiangmai.
      Another Northern Thai dish I recommend would be Nam Ngiew (with rice noodles; ka nom jean or sen guay tiew.) from Chiang Rai. Each sub-area of Chiang Rai also has differences in cooking Nam Ngiew. In some areas, they put pork blood into the soup. Some put fermented grilled beans, depending on the recipe, and share cultures from Tai Yai, Tai Lue, Mon, Myanmar, or even Southern Chinese.

      @kideo_h Год назад +2

      We didn't steal it, the Yunnanese influence already existed in the northern part of what's considered to be Thailand long before it was merged with Thailand. That's why a part of the northern region of Thailand which used to be "Larnna Kingdom" shared many cultural heritages with some group of Burmese since historically we both traded and mixed with the Yunannese. It's not because the modern Thai "stole" it, rather there are more groups of Thai people than you think, and you should know it considering you're Burmese.
      Aside from the origin of the name (which btw Khao Soi means noodle, too. It's literally translated to "thinly cut rice"), Khao Soi is not as strongly related to either Burma or Thailand as nations as how it's rooted to Yunannese/Muslim influence observably by how both dishes are prominent in regions with strong Yunnannese influence. Ohn no khao swè is even called "Khao Soi Islam" in some parts of northern Thailand which, by the way, is a different dish from Khao soi, sharing only some ingredients.
      Every source in Thai will tell you that the original dish, in whatever form it came in, was introduced to the northern Thai by the Yunannese, and no Thai has ever claimed to invented the dish.

      I think you're missing the meaning of the video. This is not about history- this is about how they're served now. Sorry if that wasn't clear for you. Obviously roti isn't originally Thai. To explain the actual origin of these dishes would take WAY longer than bulletpoints in a video like this (which is....the entire point of this channel, and the reason why our normal history videos are like half an hour long). The point of this video is how things are served NOW and what are the best things to try if you come to Southeast Asia today. These dishes- things like roti & curry- might be found in a lot of countries, including places with a longer history than in Thailand, but TODAY's version in southern Thailand is our preference.
