When you do get around to watching his Thai show, could you drop me a line? He seems to put out a good show, so I'd like to keep up with his Thai escapades at least.

My TV package comes from True Visions so I'm locked in there. Talen, I am totally out of touch with the likes of Andrew Zimmer (I see that he's also on the travel channel). But I do know of Gordon Ramsey, so am I redeemed? Alex, I could stop by Pantip to see if they have anything of Tony's. Some of the stuff there doesn't work so it's always an adventure! Martyn, Anthony's part two video is complete, so it's more of a good wew than the others ;-) I've eaten a fair amount of weird things in Thailand, but I don't hold an attraction for testicles or eyeballs, in the UK or here. My Asian friends love going to lunch with me because they don't have to argue over who gets the eyeballs in the fish head curry! Som Tum at £8.10? Whooh. But I guess if you want Thai food when you are away from 'home', then you have to go for paeng mâak. I do check Thai restaurants when I'm anywhere but here, just to feel cringe.

I'd certainly want my sheep testicles, ant eggs or raw seal eyeball with a plate of chips and a good dollop (what a lovely word) of tomato sauce making Anthony a lot more adventurous than me. The cobra for me would have to be well done, minced and eaten with a long fork and blindfold, I wish I hadn't read that bit as it's soon time for sleep and I might get nightmares. The unwashed warthog rectum would make napkin placement of greater importance than choice of desert although I wouldn't leave the choice up to him. I am currently doing a post about Som Tum and it checks out at £8.10 in one London restaurant and I think Anthony wouldn't even touch it at that price.
