This feels very culturally insensitive, one culture isn't better than the other. I experience a lack of sharing in your culture, which can be highly problematic and considered rude in countries such as Thailand. So, whose perspective is better?

Maybe your friends didn't know that you used kabocha (called Japanese pumpkin in Thailand), or they have no experience with kabocha and don't realize that the skin is edible.

Maybe its not rude in Thailand, who knows hahaha culture wise, but I was raised to eat anything in front of you that a host offers unless a) you're allergic b) you'll get sick.

From both I had the comment that the outter skinn should have been removed and they did not eat so I was dissappointed. Perhaps Thai squash has a thicker skin, however, I ate and enjoyed. I am learning it is very difficult to cook Thai for Thai even when you want to please their taste buds that are sooo sensitive.. Having said that I really enjoy your inspiring videos. Thank you

Uses more basil than you think though, so buy extra at the asian market.
