Perhaps you have found some of our previous posts exalting Thai food and celebrating its rapidly growing popularity in the west. The country, based in south-east Asia, has given the world dishes that have soon found their way onto restaurant and pub menus. To highlight Thai culture and cuisine, this write-up will cite a few lesser understood facts about Thailand and her people.
Tucked beside Vietnam and Malaysia, Thai's are proud to call themselves children from 'The land of the free'. That's due to the fact that while colonialists from Europe, particularly the UK, Spain and France, took hold in nearby countries, Thailand remained independent. Perhaps this is the sole reason behind Thailand's range of unique spices and tastes.
Across the world Thai people are famous for their hospitality. This reputation has been exalted by a number of travel guide polls who have found this to be true among their readers. A contributor to Maclean's magazine, Chris Robinson tells a story of meeting a Thai shortly after his arrival in the country. Shortly there after, he was given a guided tour to the man's family temple before being invited back to the family home. All this without sharing a common word of language.
Let us discuss Thai cuisine now. Thai food ingredients include lemon grass, limes, fresh chili's and garlic which stimulate the sweet, spicy and sour tastes on an authentic menu. These tastes are often massaged with pasta and rice - especially jasmine rice. Many Thai's enjoy Chok for breakfast, a form of rice porridge and variations of curries for lunch and dinner. Panang Curry is a favourite among many tourists.
