taste like the gusset of a Turks underpants
Plenty of that smell around Isaan. It's the Lao influence, dirt soup, weed salad, rice paddy seafood, smash it all up so it's unidentifiable and then douse it in lava prik peppers so you can't taste any of it. Chew on a hunk of buffalo hide* for dessert.
For dinner I'm having batter-fried sole with (lashings, dollops, or smear) of tartar (speaking of Turks) sauce and air-fried spud wedges w/ roast garlic.
*Sold in Tha Sadet, Nong Khai, and select boutique stalls around Udon. Still has the hair on it.
