From Quiz A Taste of Thailand

Answer: Laos

29. Refresh yourself with this great salad, a nice bowl of Som Tum. It contains a tamarind salad dressing, dried prawns, garlic and lime juice, but this salad has a main ingredient. What is the star of the dish?

From Quiz A Day in a Thai Restaurant with Abby_91

Answer: Green Papaya

Green, unripe papayas have a slight tang, but almost neutral in flavour. To get the flavour into the papaya strands, they need to be pounded in a pestle and mortar with the other ingredients to the salad. Green papaya is able to withstand the beating and retains that crunchy texture. This is a very popular dish at the restaurant, and I pride myself for working at the salad and dessert station.
