My friend from Laos calls it tam mok hoong. All I know is I like the stuff better without the fish sauce.

What's the big deal? When Thai adopt curry from India, they call it Thai curry. I see no Idians whining about it. If Som Tum came from Loa, then Thai can call this dish Som Tum Thai. Moreover, Thai and Lao people share the same root so what is the F*ing deal? Gee, why you guys have to be so insecure.

I understand that most Thai Issan people are actually ethnic Lao people, but it's still weird for me to see Lao foods like papaya salad, larb salad and sticky rice referred to as Thai or Issan food. That's actually a traditional Lao meal. However, it's nice to know that Thai people also enjoy eating Lao foods.

Her personal preference she doesn't like "bla la or bla dak," shrimp paste, nor crab paste thus she is not missing anything.
