What if you found out that there's not only a vegetable that you've never heard of before- but that there's an entire category of flavor you didn't even know existed? That's what happened to us on a motorbike trip to southern Thailand- and we've never been the same since.

This is the Parkia Speciosa, otherwise known as the Sataw, the Petai, the Twisted Cluster Bean...and the Stinky Bean. Obscure, controversial, and to those who can handle the sulfuric bitter umami bomb- an absolute obsession. Welcome to the secret handshake of Thailand's food and beverage elite.
