Popular Post webfact Posted April 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2021 File photo//Credit: Taste It has been confirmed for yet another year that Thai Massaman curry is the number one dish in the world. In a 2021 updated list on CNN Travel online of the world's top 50 the Thai dish held onto its crown with CNN calling it the "king of curries", reported Manager. The list was started in 2011 and Massaman has always been tops. Rounding out the top five were #2 Neopolitan pizza, #3 Chocolate from Mexico, #4 Sushi from Japan and #5 Peking Duck from China. Tom Yum Goong made #8 with the judges calling it a "Thai masterpiece" that "best of all was cheap". The only other iconic Thai dish to make the top 50 was Som Tam or papaya salad at #46. The UK's widely regarded "National Dish" of Fish and Chips made #33 while their Buttered Toast with Marmite was #42. UK potato chips (that they call crisps) sneaked in at #48. For the US donuts made #14, ketchup #39 and buttered popcorn #50. France - considered by many to be the home of "haute cuisine" - could only manage #21 for croissants. Italy got #31 for Parma ham, while the Canadians can celebrate Maple Syrup at #34 and the Australians were named as #37 for Chicken Parm. Germany was credited with the Hamburger at #6. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-04-23 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post holy cow cm Posted April 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2021 Although I do like a good Massaman every so often, I call this complete Hogwash. If this is decided on what the general public popularity of sales being fresh in restaurants and frozen ready meals, then so far from the truth. 10 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jonathan Fairfield Posted April 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2021 Massaman curry with a side portions of chippy chips. No you're talking. Also Massaman curry in a pie as an alternative to the already excellent chicken balti pie would be good. Can someone sort it, thanks. 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThaiFelix Posted April 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2021 From my understanding massaman is not even Thai, its Indonesian (Muslim). Ketchup (tomato sauce really) and donuts is something to be culturally proud of lol. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricTh Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Massaman curry is not prevalent in Thailand so how can it be number one? It is only cooked in specialty shops. The bland sushi is #4? What type of survey is this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't call it a 'Thai dish'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massaman_curry The name massaman is a corruption of the term mosalman, an archaic word derived from Persian, meaning "Muslim". Those who sell Massaman curry are usually Muslim Thais who is a minority. Edited April 23, 2021 by EricTh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
