Today, I picked what I want to eat I wrote about it. Too bad I didn’t have chance to cook any food yet, or I will run to the kitchen and cook it right now. To everyone who is away from home (Thailand), I bet you miss this food.

The best Gwit Jab is in Ubon Ratchathani I assure you!! If you haven’t tried the one in Ubon Ratchathani, don’t give the first place to anywhere yet!!

Note from Vern: The pig parts (heart, liver, intestine, lungs) are optional of course…

When I was writing this recipe, I was thinking about the time I studied at primary school, Anuban Yasothon. It was also where my aunt taught.

This was an Anuban School, I will call it a brand name school because in all provinces all over Thailand there is a school with this name. They have the same pattern of rules and food, characteristic of teachers and students. I can compare it because I went to this brand name school to study in Yasothon and work in Ubon Ratchathani, where I first met my husband. :p hehe

10 years after I finished grade 6, I can’t believe they have the same food and same taste to serve their students. The good thing is the food, stuffed cucumbers in plain soup, reminded me of the time in the passed 10 years. (They made it stuffed cucumber because the squid is too expensive… haha)

However, the plain soup with cucumber in it always tastes so good. It has a little sweet taste from cucumber and great fragrance.

I hope แกงจืดปลาหมึกยัดไส้ will remind any of you, who are Anuban family members, the time at school like it has reminded me. :)


Joy \(^v^)/
