May the gods have mercy

[pasithea]

Dear gods of cooking, forgive me for this transgression I have wrought.

Last night, I created the truly unholy.

It was a green thai curry that used durian as the base and thousand year eggs as the 'meat'...

I wrought a great evil by actually making this combination rather tasty.

Yeah. That was kind of the idea. The scents, flavors, and textures were fairly opposite so I used them to balance one another. Thai curries are sort of sweet to start with and often have onion. Durian being sort of sweet and oniony, it seemed like it'd work. I was pleased that it did.

In addition to those items, I used the green Mae Ploy curry paste, a 1" chunk of ginger, an entire bulb of garlic, a couple of chilis, some chili oil, a bit of coconut milk, and kept adding water to thin it.

Sorry it's not a real recipe. I kind of went by taste until it worked out.

Again -- he can imagine that 'symphony of tastes' (sorta like what Remy the Rat described in 'Ratatouille') working very well together.

He recommends if you wanted to make the initial ingredients even more horrible add 'balut'.

Or if you wanted to TOTALLY SCREW IT UP just add blue cheese.
