Uses

In Northeast India, in the states of Mizoram and Manipur, climbing wattle is an ingredient in indigenous cuisine like kaang-hou (fried vegetables) and eromba. The plant is locally known as khanghmuk in Hmar, khang in Meiteilon and khanghu in Mizo.

In Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia and Thailand, the feathery shoots of Senegalia pennata are used in soups, curries, omelettes and stir-fries.[2] The edible shoots are picked up before they become tough and thorny.[3]

In Northern Thai cuisine, cha-om is also eaten raw with Thai salads, such as tam mamuang (mango salad),[4] and it is one of the ingredients of kaeng khae curry.[5] In Central Thailand and Isan it is usually boiled or fried. Cha-om omelet pieces are one of the usual ingredients of nam phrik pla thu and commonly used in kaeng som, a sour Thai curry.

gollark: There are also a lot of things it can't do, like many other reasoning tasks, anything not expressible as text, and a lot of things requiring world modeling. But I don't know if that means it isn't "thinking".
gollark: I don't know if it can "think" because that's quite poorly defined. I do know that it can do some amount of logical and common-sense reasoning and has very good language abilities.
