Thai food has duck in many kinds of recipe, for example, duck in soup noodle, roasted duck with rice, duck spicy and sour salad. We love anything with tough meat really and duck meat has tough texture. Maybe, it’s just Thai Isaan people who love it. We have one snack made of tamarind seed. We cook it in a hot pan without adding oil and wait until it’s burnt at the right level. When we eat, we crack the shell open and chew the hard seed inside. Some people can chew this all day, like my mom. Or… when you see a Thai person chewing ice after he or she finished the drink, you can tell he/she is from Isaan.
We love to chew tough food and hard stuff that’s why we have a big jaw. It’s the way you can tell if they are from north eastern of Thailand, flat noses, big cheek bones and big jaws. I blamed it on the sticky rice for causing my nose flat though. I’m very mad but I can’t stop eating it.
