A few years back I had a Lao girl friend whoes father made the strangest dish I have ever tasted. It was mashed up deer liver with lemon grass. peppers, fish sause, and other spices, but what really set it apart wasthe addition of the bile gland on the liver to give it a bitter taste, after he mixed it up he put in into a cow bladder and hung it up to age a couple of weeks. Can't say it was good but very interesting. It was so bitter it felt like you were eating metal. Does anyone know the name of this? J.

    I have no idea what that was but I can tell you that the only time I was sick in Southeast Asia was in Laos. And from your description of that I would stay away from that liver thing too. and I'm Chinese and will eat most anything!

    Sounds like a type of Laap to me. Laap usually has ground meat, pounded toasted raw sticky rice, mint, lemongrass, lime juice, fish sauce & chili.
