Why does the tiger weep? According to myth, two potential reasons: the first, the ancient Thai thought tigers had emotions like humans, and that they were upset for leaving so much cow uneaten in the fields. (I guess you had to be there.) The second reason? When meat was cut thin like tiger skin, the fat rolled off like tears when grilled. Pick the legend you prefer, and pick this meal, which will make you weep with delight at the amazing flavor and tender texture of these meatballs. Weeping Tiger, Delicious Dinner.
