CURRY OF SNAKE BEANS AND PUMPKIN

Thai. Ish. Casi Thai. Semi Thai. Mezzo Thai. Half Thai with pike. Call it what you will. There's a definite Thai influence. But it's not the full Thai. Thainy Thai? What is it about Thai that leads to puns? How many Thai restaurants do you know with really dodgy names like Bow Thai and Thaitanic and Thairific? I'm not sure this dish was Thairific. But it was good. The pumpkins aren't really pumpkins, but butternut squash. Same family. Cousins, maybe. The beans aren't snakes, either. No fangs. No poison glands. They don't eat rodents. But they're called snake beans.
