1295.0. "Thai iced coffee request." by WHYVAX::AITEL (Every little breeze....) Wed Jul 27 1988 11:19

    Here's another one for Ian Philpott:
    
    I had lunch at the Thai restaurant in Nashua yesterday.  With it,
    I ordered iced Thai coffee.  It was better than any iced coffee
    I've ever had - strong, and maybe there were spices in it?
    Since I drink a lot of iced coffee at home, I'd love to know
    how to make it Thai style.

	well if you want to change the subject :-) I was down in Lowell last Saturday and both the Thai stores had "product of Thailand" 'mortar and pestle' (the Thai's call them 'krok') in both granite and pottery. The granite ones are used for grinding dry items, such as spices. The pottery ones (with a teak pestle) are used for beating veggies and other moist things to a fibrous pulp. The very best are made of obsidian (volcanic glass), but I've yet to see one in a US store. The granite ones are quite good. /. Ian .\ PS: when I got married I already owned a fairly expensive food processor (batchelor's tend to be lazy), but my wife wouldn't use it. She insisted we buy a couple of kroks. I call them stone age food processors.
