Pok Pok The Drinking Food of Thailand


With a title like this, you know you're in for fun.  Andy Ricker says in Thailand, you "almost never see people drinking without something to eat."  Couldn't agree more.  Happy hour is no good without happy food.

That said, for me, this book is more of a travel guide than a book of recipes I will cook at home.  There's a lot of fried food recipes, or recipes with hard to find or exotic ingredients.  For example, there are recipes for like fried pig ears and intestines, fried chicken tendons, pig brains grilled in banana leaf.  Just not going to make these at home.

Most of the photos are wonderful and will whet your appetite for food and travel.  I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
