But, of course that was your usual opinion about Thais and how they work. Sometimes you are just too sad.

I said it saved time. Not that anyone did it. The irony was that just because something saves time doesn't mean it's good.

  • not good for those of us with an allergy to msg, I get violently ill if there is msg in food especially lots of it. They only use to to cover up old ingredients as fresh ones do not need it, where we

  • Well then Thais have no taste. If you have to use MSG to enhance the flavor of what you're making then you must be a terrible chef.   One can season food plenty with nam pla or even just goo

    What's the problem? Personally I don't want MSG and it does not matter if half a spoon or three of them. But maybe Thais want MSG. Likely the vendor wouldn't do it if the customers woul

Oh, I read it properly. The usual hidden negativity. In this news they used 1 pack for 50 bags. There is nothing to lift any eyebrows for. That´s how they make the food here and there is same much in a single som tam.

Then you don’t have to worry. But this story made the news because some people are concerned they used too much. Me included. If that’s how you like your son tam, go nuts. 

 

Some of us like to know what goes in our food.

I assume that you do not drink alcohol, not eat cakes and cookies together with a coffée or like chips and peanuts too much. Not to talk about all that bad fat in pizzas and cold cuts as well as frying oil. I know you are thinking hard now, to come up with some "cracking" post. And what I mentioned is just the tip of an enormous iceberg of examples of bad things people eat without thinking too much or always knowing what goes in the food.

So, now it just to go back to your carrots and salad and boiled not too fat fish. Ops! Beware of the chemicals they spray on the vergetebles and think real hard about what the plastic and all much worse pollution is doing to the foos you eat from our oceans.
