there was some rumours some time ago that thais dont like to eat
catfish, because it makes their legs soft.
Now, I see programs of the thai royals encouraging folks to create
fishponds to rear fish and irrigate their farm land.
And you see those programs of young kids catching catfish in the
padi fields for eating for the whole big village people. It loosk
like poor man's meat.
And then catfish becomes like something restaurants will serve up
all over thailand.
