กอ้วย

The Banana's (pro-nounced gloo-ai) are crazy here. They have pits in them! Like the size of watermelon seeds and the texture of a peach pit.

there is this great treat and what you do is you take a banana, some sticky rice and some coconut and mash it and put it inside a banana leaf, then roast it over a grill or steam it.
After it cools off, peel the banana leaf away and you have this golden sticky sweet chewey coconut/banana treat! DELICIOUS (a-roi maak maak!)
Thats how i discovered my first banana pit, actually. I was eating one of those as fast as I could and i bit down on one. Now i'm more careful


I am gonna find someone to teach us how to make them.
I will hold and grill them over a match if I have to, thats how good they are!

maybe we will bring some to Patong when we go see Aunt Reta and Uncle Dave!
