It's not notorious[edit]

I apologize for making a change without first discussing it, but it was just a single word change intended to clarify the entry.

The problem was with the word 'notorious' on this page, in the phrase 'most notoriously tambakhoong'. The word notorious implies having a bad reputation; it's not something you want to be. A dish that is notorious is one that nobody wants to eat. Prominent criminals are notorious, durian has a notorious odor, but what was meant here was 'notably' or 'famously': implying something good.

Do not merge[edit]

Please do not redirect or merge this page with other pages that reference other foreign languages and/or culture. The word padaek is unique and its custom usage in food is uniquely found only in Laos and Lao people living abroad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aghosthunter (talk • contribs) 21:10, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not merge. Pla ra is a nother thing. It would be like merging camembert and roquefort cheeses, just because they would smell similar to someone from a country far away from France.Xufanc (talk) 15:15, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thai peoples' opinion[edit]

Meanwhile I have asked Thai people and everyone has stated clearly that Pla ra and Padaek are two different and separate things. Each one deserves its own article. Xufanc (talk) 01:57, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
