A Pickle Party

Let’s all bring our mortar and pestle And have a party of great papaya pickle We call this a famous Thai ‘’som tum” So delicious! Heavenly awesome! Let’s first wear our kitchen attire Dance the Thai music, don’t be shy Then prepare all the somtum ingredients For superb taste, a hundred percent. Main is fresh green papaya, shredded thinly Raw string beans, chopped evenly Dried shrimps, fish sauce, limes and lots of chili Tomatoes, peanuts and crabs smashed heavily. Yummy somtum is always served with sticky rice Paired with fried chicken—get more, twice, thrice… A long table party, others can sit on a mat While enjoying somtum scrumptiously hot!

Len, yummy! This Thai treat is perfectly translated into your visual and tasty poem however I have to admit you lost me at the "dried shrimp" and "fish sauce." Thank you for this introduction to this amazing concoction. My mouth is watering. Congratulations on your win dear friend! Time to get a snack!

A delicious dish, and well written poem, Len. I enjoyed the food while in Thailand from 1969-1970. Sawadee (sp) ? :-) Thanks for sharing your poetry with us my friend. Hugs, Bill
