in a pickle...

...and a mystery as to what to do with a couple of these mystery jars.

Makok, also known as golden apples ( and Thai Olives when pickled) and a theory that Thailand's capital Bangkok is derived from 'makok'. 

Banana blossoms..how exotic is that!!! Cooked in coconut milk and served as a mild curry.

The pantry just ain't big enough!
