RE: Green Papaya Salad - My Gentle, Detoxing, Healing Thai-Fusion Version of Thai Som Tum

I love papaya salad. It would never occur to me to put sugar or MSG in it because you just don't need it. It is tasty enough as it is. And I think I might make a version of this tonight although of course finding a Green Papaya might be a challenge

I can teach you about the Thai theory of the four tastes when we finally get a chance to cook together - they consider a dish without it to be unbalanced and not good for you. I'm still very western and like things on the sour side though,

I guess I taste 'sweet' in a lot of the vegetable ingredients, so find extra sugar to be cloying!
