seeder Posted January 18, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Its an unfortunate name.....and the way its used for a cookbook is to us westerners, quite funny and disgusting But the book is real, so is the chef....who is called Poo! Now....who can think of other things to do with Poo? Quote Cooking with Poo wins oddest book title prize Recipe book derives its title from community chef and author Saiyuud Diwong's nickname, which is Thai for crab https://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/mar/30/cooking-with-poo-oddest-title-prize 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have poo soup with corn, and corn will come out in your...never mind. 4 hours ago, seeder said: Thai for 'chilli' is..... Cant tell you it will get censored I had to look up that one. It's your fault. Google translate says it's "phrik" and is pronounced like "freak." So I'd say we're safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like those books in my own library, if just for the shock value when guests saw the spines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol! The look on someone's face when they see "Cooking with Poo" or "Santa's Missing Ho" on the bookshelf. I actually entered this thread to help keep an eye on things because it does push the line, but so far it's all right. And I'm basically a big kid, so I'm struggling between my obligations as a Moderator and my juvenile sense of humor. But that book about activities for your cat cracked me up. The word might have been censored but it was quite clear, nonetheless. One wonders if editors give any thought to these titles when they publish books, especially for foreign markets where certain words might make for embarrassing misunderstandings. I was just going to post a link to some funny, weird book titles and there are plenty of links from which to choose, but some of them are so nasty I had to censor myself. Best not. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
