Rude food across Asia


Below is a sampling odd Asian food names, Polynesian, Chinese, Thai, Indian and Korean. It's kind of embarassing ordering "phat prik ho" so I just tell them #27
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Puto: steamed cup cakes made with sticky rice flour and coconut milk (Means gay in several languages. I guess it fits)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bangus: grilled milkfish stuffed with vegetables (Be careful when you ask for this one)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loco Moco: a fried egg on top of a hamburger on top of a pile of rice - all smothered in brown gravy! (Literally Crazy booger)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pupu: appetizer, hors d'oeuvre (I thought ordering a pupu platter was the funniest thing when I was 8. Come to think of it, I still do.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hor Fun: fried broad, thick rice noodles ($350 per hour no kinky stuff)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gook: a broth-like soup with rice (I guess since the Germans had already taken Kraut...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kook Soo: noodles in broth with meat and vegetables (Long pig Boy named soo)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sopa Borracha: sponge cake with rum sauce (Literally drunk soup)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ma-Muang: mango (Is that a Mango in your pants or are you happy to see me?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Moo: pork (Is beef called oink?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nam Prik: hot sauce (Or My dad's commanding officer in 67)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phat Prik: Stir fried vegetables (My former boss)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gasagasa: Poppy seeds (I'm thinking they cause flatulence...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Godambi: Cashews (Godambi these are good)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Poondu: Garlic (Or what your girlfriend gets if she really really likes you)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some oddly named food products with hilarious commentary. http://www.dazbert.co.uk/sites/rudefood/

LOVE that Poondu baby. And on the Puto thing ("whore" or "raped woman" in spanish), read somewhere that the absolute worst thing you can call a Latino person, we're talkin throw down time, is "hiho de la puta". That sounds like a dish as well. Some sort of spicy clam plate.

Hillarious....simply hilarious.
Geez Hammer.. I have used 1/2 hour to get through since last time I commented...I need a cup of coffee.
Have a nice day, friend.

Oooh. Been there, seen (luckily haven't done...yet) that. I know how it can be. I'm currently in an Asian-language class, and learned right at the start that the tones you pronounce something with give it its meaning. So if you're not careful, ordering lunch could end in a serious smackdown...

Balut: Fertilized duck egg, actually has a duck embryo inside. Probably started on a dare - eat 'em up, yum!

Aaaah - it's not nice to make fun of how other people talk. I'm beginning to understand why the Vietnamese/Thai place asks us to order by number though...

It makes you wonder if some of OUR English words mean something totally different to them.

Absolutely Mar velous simply Marvelous!

I always thought that the hungriest man or woman alive had to be the first person EVER to eat a raw Oyster. Can u imagine wading out into the sea- or just low tide with no LL Bean Boots to protect you- prying off a razor sharp solid rock type thing- and then when you did manage to get it open and seeing it- (Looks like a pretty vagina to me) how damn hungry did you have to be to go through all that???

And with NO Tobasco sauce! LOL

Gotta get me some 'o them Dick- pepper seeds!

Good one Bro,

J

The pupu platter is my favorite part of a Chinese meal!!
I make Phat Prik at home a lot. Good thing my husband didn't realize what I was really cooking. ;)

Now we need to pick a peck of pecker peppers!
