Steve, I believe he's referring to the rice noodle that Thai's call
Guaytio. They're used in dishes such as Pad Thai, Pad Se-Eiew, Rad Na and
Mee Gati. They can be made at home using long grain rice, although it's a
little tedious by my clock.
While verifying the above, I came across some recipes I had forgotten for
Stuffed Chiles (TFM's fave), Spicy Pig's Feet (Graeme's fave) and Spicy
Sweetbreads (Kili's fave), other versions of which had been mentioned on
a.f.b and a.b.f . I'll try to get around to posting them here over the
weekend.
Chaio!
