Mick Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Not sure about this one, maybe Jamie Oliver book instead Edited February 28, 2019 by Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffH Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 She won a cooking show in Australia, ummm I think it might have been Master Chef Australia? The book attracted a lot of media coverage when it was released, and she ended up with her own TV show. Deliberate (and clever) media trick that name I suspect.

virginprune Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) She is Thai and Poo is a fairly common nickname there. That book has been around for years....good catchy name though. I live in South Cotabato, SOX for short. There is a billboard in Marbel that advertises ' Discover the flavour of SOX ' regional cuisine or daily special..?

Not that it matters, but she was 2nd in the 2009 show. Edit - the Poo from the book is not actually the person from Masterchef Australia.

Her real name is Poh so I'm not sure where the Poo came from (in this case) Edit - apologies, I went off on the wrong tangent. The Poo from the book is not the Poh made famous for her TV appearances.

From a quick glance at the book cover I thought it was her too, but was sure she was Malaysian and not Thai so a quick google confirmed it is another person entirely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJReyes Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 There was a town in the Philippines named "SEXMOAN." They eventually changed the name. In Honolulu, names on a cross street were in Hawaiian. In Tagalog, it translated into vulgar female parts. Our Filipino friends want to see it and pose next to the sign for pictures to take home. In Lancaster, Pennsylvania (Amish country), there is a town named INTERCOURSE. All the tourist would stop to take pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
