Gluten-Free Tuesday: Palm Sugar

The universe of palm sugar is not well understood by many in the culinary world -- that it can be made from the sap of at least four types of palms, that the method of collecting (and the point in the stage of the flower at which it's collected -- some references incorrectly describe the liquid boiled down to make palm sugar as the tree's sap) varies by palm, that the flavor of the sugar is affected by the type of palm, terroir, and processing (processing is also what most determines the texture). Most Southeast Asian countries that are big palm sugar producers (Indo, Thailand, Malaysia) produce sugars from several types of palm. As an aside, what many Filipinos refer to as local 'palm sugar' isn't; it's made from cane.

Thank you. Breaking news: in Asia (and probably elsewhere) they eat nether parts. So .

Thanks for the pub Robyn! The fried worms were pretty tasty - honest. Bet if you closed your eyes and I put one in your mouth you'd be all, like, 'mmmmmmm....salty fat' ;-)

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Palm Sugar

Mmmmmmm....I used palm sugar in cooking lessons I took this past summer in Thailand. This post just reminded me! I hope I can find some around here.

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Palm Sugar

There's a delicious palm sugar, jaggery, that is used in South Asia (it's called gur in some regions). It makes the best rice pudding I've ever tasted.

@NWcajun: that is such an amazing drink recipe - I am absolutely going to try that once my supplier hooks me up ; )

Cow Cod Soup (funny name, given that cows don't have cods) is famous in Jamaica and quite delicious.

Sago Palm: The Tree of Life is Full of Carbs and Fat

Last night, I remembered that I'd eaten snails in red sauce on a couple of occasions and enjoyed them and that I grew up eating sea snails ... Maybe if I can make an equivalent ... maybe ...

@Robyn: Okay, I will eat "fat grubs of awesomeness" if I'm blindfolded. And possibly drunk. ;)
