They do this in Thailand OP

It's used like a condiment usually on papaya salad but maybe other stuff too.

When you order your papaya salad (which is made with unripe papaya so you should not be thinking of something orange here but something pale green) you can say "with crab" on there and crab in Thai by the way is "poo."



It's very hard to find in the US but some Thai restaurants in Queens have it.

Here's a video about it from a probably disgusting POM of one sort or the other

this is a lot of effort to try and trick us into ordering a poo salad

I once brought some goons to one of Queens' actually authentic Thai restaurants and we had a som tam plaa raa which is made with a fermented gloppy fish muck (not the dark "fish sauce" available everywhere, this is a different thing) and it was a nostalgic flavor for me and they were not big fans.

I think people would have already done it if it was any good. I'm sure people have tried. Like hell why not lets throw a crab in the pickle jar it might be good. :shrug: But like its probably not popular because it doesn't work out so good. There's probably been people who have tried and just found out on their own it's not that good, but theres probably also culture with folklore warning against it too. It's also possible you are the first person who has thought of it too. Who knows, the universe is vast and bewildering and I am small. :smith:
