In my experience, most Thai restaurants are not owned by Thais, most are Vietnamese or Chinese or Western, it's great to find the gems.<BR/><BR/>As for fresh green peppercorns, I found this entry from Torontolife.com:<BR/><BR/>The season is almost over for fresh Vietnamese green peppercorns. With more flavour and less heat than trad black, they’re perfect for steak au poivre. $4.50 for 28 grams. Selsi Searocks, St. Lawrence Market South, lower level, 95 Front St. E., 416-854-9088.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps, give them a call anyways.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10633545838958085330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19134911.post-2972605837315358912008-11-27T20:48:00.000-05:002008-11-27T20:48:00.000-05:00Hey, Mike.

The Thai ingredient I am searching for is fresh green peppercorns, e-mail me please if you know a source. Have you ever been to Spoon and Fork, don't if you haven't,it is hardly authentic. Everything there is dosed with black bean sauce for some reason. Usually I refer to it<BR/>as Foon and Spork. Cheers, BarbUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419895618259701701noreply@blogger.com
