the sudden realization that I don't actually know if describing how something tastes in words is inherently difficult, or if my problem is that I'm only fluent in a language made by people who are noteworthy for being unskilled at making flavorful food

belated realizing that when US customs asked me if I was bringing in any food to the country and I replied "tea" they probably didn't realize I meant as a salad ingredient

one of the oddest highlights of my trip to Malaysia was wandering around in a mall and getting really excited to stumble upon the Burmese store

I only remember a handful of words in Burmese, but I was glad I remembered enough to thank the cashier in his own language

there are only a handful of cities in the US where you can get Burmese food, but I fell in love with this salad after living next to the Burmese border, there's really nothing else like it

Attachments:

• PSG Mart, a small convenience store in the mall with a sign in Burmese (I can't type Burmese, sorry, but it's a beautiful writing system featuring mostly circular shapes and curves) (remote)
• tea leaf salad (laphet thoke) with cabbage, rice, and various fried beans (remote)

sdl should think about adding documentation to their site

The only useful thing on the wiki is a list of links to offsite tutorials. Most of the "api reference" section is just function signatures scraped from header files and the rest is severely under-elaborated
