Cabbages and condiments I presume it should be.
nope. it’s 100% intentional. not really engrish either, it’s intended as a light hearted way to promote condom use. google Mechai Viravaidya for more info on the founder of the place, he’s known as the “Condom King” in Thailand and he’s done quite a lot to prevent the spread of AIDS in the country
hey ive been there!
got the t shirt and everything!
Yeah- I’ve been there! That place is actually quite good!
I’m going in January to the Bangkok location!
I’ve eaten there before. It has excellent food, and is for a good cause. Engrish Fail, imo.
and cabbage-flavored condoms. Mmmmmm.
Waiter, there’s a condom in my cabbage.
The Shrimp left it there…
Comments about carrots and cucumbers are inevitable I suppose.
You forgot to mention bananas… or are we sticking to vegetables in our musings?
cucumbers are technically a fruit…
Ya, but they taste nasty. Hence, they’re a vegetable.
True.
Heh. I’ve been in one of these places. God knows why but it actually means ‘Condoms’. In the one I went in they have condom packets under glass as table decorations.
Can’t explain the idea behind it, I’m assuming it’s a play on the trade that Thailand is famed for, lol.
I guess you didn’t read up on how the owner is pushing for safer sex practices. You might google Mechai Viravaidya, the founder.
Actually this is a not a translation error. STDs are a big problem in Thailand due to its booming sex industry. The restaurant was started as a gimmick to promote safe sex. When you eat there, you get condoms with the check and they have a gift shop where you can by condoms, condom accessories and Cabbages and Condoms themed apparel. The food, thankfully, is not cabbage or condom themed.
What exactly is a ‘condom accessory’? An all-leather carrying case?
There is actually a good reason for the name of this restaurant. They’re part of a foundation to reduce AIDS in thailand and the premise of the Cabbages and Condoms is that their aim is to make condoms as readily available and as common as cabbages are in markets. Gettit?
Anyone else want to post to explain all about this restaurant and how it got its name?
From what I understand, STDs are a big problem in Thailand. The creator of the restaurant is Mechai Viravaidya, and…. okay, it isn’t as fun as I thought it would be.
Not really, but since you asked:
>nope. it’s 100% intentional. not really engrish either, it’s intended as a light hearted >way to promote condom use. google Mechai Viravaidya for more info on the founder >of the place, he’s known as the “Condom King” in Thailand and he’s done quite a lot >to prevent the spread of AIDS in the country
Thanks for playing.
Been there. The name is intentional. STD’s is a big problem in Thailand.
Yet another non-engrish fail.
Stablercake is yet another non-googler fail.
It’s not Engrish. It’s actually an awesome restaurant. The name isn’t wrong either. The entire restaurant has that theme…
Oh, and free Condoms.
Fantastic food, great atmosphere and lots of excellent condom-themed souvenirs in their gift shop. Nothing Engrish or unintentional about the name at all.
I’ve Been There! I used to live in Thailand for 2 years. The whole restaurant shows the history of the owners vendetta to get people to use condoms throughout Thailand to reduce the spread of AIDS. I’ve got 5 keychains myself. Well I had 5, but apparently, someone thought they were funny and stole 3 of them.
When I first heard about that restaurant, I was like…What the hell?
It’s across the street from “Barbecue and Bareback.” They have the best creampie in Thailand.
“Rutabagas and Rubbers?”
“French Tickler and Fries?”
“Corn Stalk and a Cock Sock?”
“Cucumbers in Raincoats?”
“Rubber Dub Dub and an Ice Cream Tub?”
“Delicious Hunan Beef with Broccoli and a Prophylactic to Cover your Penis while Having Sex to Prevent You or Your Partner from Catching an STD While Enjoying the Sex Trade in our Glorious Homeland, and yes Gary Glitter, this includes you.”
…with a fried egg on top, and spam.
“But I don’t like Spam”
FTW.
*falls off couch laughing*
mmm spam falavored condoms there’s something u dont see every day
falavored.. spelling- FAIL . I APOROGIZE, reary. Im rawy.
The Pope says that using condoms is a sin.
I totally agree with that. I am also against abortion. When I am elected president I will change everything.
Every sperm is sacred
Every sperm is great…
(I’m in a bit of a Monty Python mood at the moment)
The above man is wrong. When I am elected president, I will bring this restaurant chain to America, just because the above man doesn’t like it.
Just remember: you can’t spell “Manchurian Candidate” without “McCain.”
“Honey, do you think the noodles are a little…chewy?”
Don’t listen to that Barack Osama, me and my running mate Sarah Palin are fighting for the right thing.
So we deserve support from you as long as you are legal American citizens and no aliens.
I’d be suspicious of the white sauce meself. XD
SICK! I love this comment!
WAIT, I DON’T GET WHY THE PLACE IS NAMED CABBAGES AND CONDOMS. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN IT???????????
Read much?
Understand sarcasm much?
I find that the ironic tone is sometimes lost in this medium.
I can see that, but taking in to account the content of almost every post above mine and the use of ALL CAPS it should have been fairly clear.
Many of the most dim-witted comments I’ve seen come in all caps, so it actually enhanced my impression that yours was a legitimately boneheaded post. And the fact that the sign had been explained thoroughly overandoverandover made it seem entirely likely that few if any of those posting were actually reading previous comments.
However, since it seems very important to you that I acknowledge that your post should have stood out as ironic rather than sincere, I APOLOGIZE FOR THE ERROR. We good now?
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR SARCASM
WELL, I guess lolbukkit doesn’t read anyone else’s posts and doesn’t know how to use google. It’s sad when people like lolbukkit live in the shallow end of the gene pool.
Fuck the vegetables the food products!
You can tell the girls are clean. They wear white socks.
Just to add to the previous comments, there’s a Cabbages and Condoms restaurant in Bangkok, and I believe a second somewhere else in Thailand. Food is AWESOME, highly recommended if you go to Bangkok, or the other place that they have a restaurant.
that restaurant is pretty good, I lived down the street from it for a while:)
I saw this restaurant in Kyoto, Japan. It’s Thai food, but it’s absolutely beyond Thailand.
Food + a blow great combination.
Someone should’ve thought of it sooner!
Oh my…
I can’t begin to understand!
I am sure though that I won’t be eating there.
If you take a look at the above comments you’ll find that the place is actually highly recommended as an eatery. For eating, I mean. Food.
I can certainly speak highly for the one (I didn’t see more than one) in Pattaya, Thailand. Very nice food.
I guess Passion.Fruit likes to miss out on things.
I’ve been there too. The lamps and everything were made out of condoms. The food was awesome.
I ate there. The restaurant promotes use of condoms and donates proceeds. They also teach women to earn money with Thai massage instead of prostitution which is still abundant there tho it is now illegal. The place is decorated with “condom art” and the food and service are very good. They give condoms instead of mints with the ticket at the end of the meal.
Cabbage as an aphrodisiac? What a concept!
What a con(tra)cept(ive)
the perfect combination!
i been there too, they just promote safe sex
