Popular Post jaywalker2 Posted December 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2023 Third best in the world? Ridiculous. I like kaphrao and make it all the time, but it's basically a cheap street food dish. It's popular but I certainly wouldn't call it one of the top dishes in the world. 6 3 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 That is an interesting list in the article. Nothing from the UK or the USA in the top 50. (No surprise there.) #1 Picanha is very tasty but in a different price range to # 2 and # 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinok Farang Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Being a tight arse i buy mine at a stall run by a lovely lady for 20 baht.Then i go home to cook my rice and fried egg.Roughly 30 baht in total for the tastiest dish in Thailand. 2 months ago i bought one from a Thai takeaway in England,£8-50,and it was crap. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that be different than killing & eating plants ? Simply because they're not cute and furry, feathered or possibly more intelligent to plants. Or maybe since you can't hear the frequency of their distress when killed, it's somehow more humane. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish beef "Aberdeen Angus" second (I would say best) in the world so a british steak dinner is no where! Then one of the nicest bits of beef I've had was American buffalo/bison while in Canada again no where to be seen. So many game foods readily available and nothing... mince and chilli wow......lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like Thai food, and occasionally cook it, and I do like the flavours and the taste of chili in it – – as for anything to do with British food, well maybe my taste buds were ruined by my mother's efforts, which were nothing short of awful/disastrous hence the reason I haven't eaten it in years. As someone else has said, "it is all subjective" because people's palates are different and whereas some folks like spicy food, others don't and so on....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ54 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 IMO it’s difficult to generalize USA American food… there’s a melting pot of many different cultures.. Los Angeles for example neighborhoods like China Town, Thai, Vietnamese, S. Korea,Hispanic, Greek , Italian etc…. and McDonalds ( threw that in for laughs’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barnet1900 Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I wonder where they ate it. I've had some lovely krapow but equally some awful versions. I associate it with a meal I eat when I can't decide what else I want. Tastes great but ask yourself, if you're at a buffet and have international food or Panang, Tom Yum, and other Thai food on offer and sitting there is kaprow...would you bother with it? Decent grub but nowhere near top cuisine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinsdale Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Of course it is. What complete rubbish. Why do they keep pushing this absolute nonsense. Taste Atlas is obviously not the 1st, 2nd or 3rd authority on culinary delights. I wonder where turducken comes in on this list?

Chicken stuffed into a duck stuffed into a turkey and slow roasted. Yep! I'm sure thats bland. Of course it will be even blander when a pheasant in stuffed into the chicken and a quail is stuffed into the pheasant. Absolutely horrible I'm sure.

dinsdale Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Top 4 dishes in the world. Aussie meat pie, Aussie pasty, Aussie sausage roll and the delicious Chiko Roll. Great food but nowhere near the best in the world as phad kaphrao is no where near the best. Edited December 14, 2023 by dinsdale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidneybear Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Pat krapow with a friend egg certainly is a wonderful dish, but it's hard to rank food as it's simply a matter of personal taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
