theblether Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I was out for a meal with a lady last night. The food was excellent and she ordered too much, so we walked away from the best part of two dishes uneaten. Fine, I'm not bothered about that. We wandered up the street for a couple of beers and half an hour later she scuttled away to buy from a barbecue cart that turned up. Oh, and she probably weighs about 45kg. About an hour later the insect cart turned up, she jumped out of her seat and headed towards it asking what insect I wanted to eat. Forkin none if you don't mind. I don't know how you guys can afford to feed these ladies. How do they do it? It does my head in, it really does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted October 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2013 If we have half eaten or untouched dishes when we go out, the Missus always asks for it to be put in a bag to be taken home - sai toong, gahb-baan. Then she hangs it on the hook of the scooter while we usually go somewhere else for a drink, shopping etc. Invariably the mobile food vendors drive past and just like the Blether's story, she leaps out to chase down a tasty morsel. Then the noodle whatever cart drives by and she'll stop them as well. I used to say why not just eat what's in the bag. Answer is always that she'll have that tomorrow. Tomorrow comes, the bag of food may have found it's way to the fridge the night before (after hanging on the scooter for 4 or 5 hours), or she may have left it on the scooter all night - say 13 hours since it was cooked. Regardless, she'll microwave it or reheat it for breakfast or lunch. "Want food Honey?...............um, no thanks, I like my bacteria reasonably fresh!! Bless her little cotton socks - I can't accuse her of wasting the food so really have no complaints. But no way in hell I'm touching it. It was riddled with bacteria "fresh" at the restaurant, 13 hours later it surely has the potential to take out half the world population! It could be considered a WOMD! 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttthailand Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I have seen the same things happen. I am not cheap but I have seen babes order some very expensive dishes or 3 or 4 items and only eat a little. I now do all the ordering. Ask what she would like and figure it out from there. If the waitress is standing by I tell them to go away for 5 minutes or order drinks and come back for food order. Thais can eat all day long. Unlike farang who inhale their food and lots of it quickly Thais like to eat slow and chat and drink and eat and chat and drink...... Maybe more healthy ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToddWeston Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I swear they have tapeworm - my inlaws can eat for 10 and haven't gained any weight in the 20 odd years I've been around. Just last night, decent supper and I'm stuffed and all of a sudden the MIL says she wants me to make banana foster - butter, brown sugar, bananas poured over vanilla ice cream, she damn near licked the bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fair point, though to be fair she did pay for the barbecue and the insects, there's no way I was paying for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpofc Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Last night my wife and family returned from a day trip to the big Wat in Chachoengsao. Which the MIL loves to visit. On their return my wife baled out of the big nosh up at her mother's place and came back to my place where she told me she didn't want to eat anymore Thai food. OK, says I, how about a (pan) toasted ham, cheese and tomato sandwich then? She devoured it as if she hadn't eaten for a week! I think I did too good a job teaching my wife to become 'falang'.

Popular Post StreetCowboy Posted October 6, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2013 I've found that ladies generally prefer to browse, while men prefer to wolf and gorge. I think it comes from different evolutionary roles. Women stay in the bush, minding small children and foraging for low-calorie roots, nuts and berries, while men go off hunting game; then eat as much as they can so there's less to carry back,... eat again at home, and then off for the next wildebeeste or rabbit or whatever.

onionluke Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I am quite interested to know what you said to your friend about over ordering and waste . Did you question her choices before or after leaving two of the dishes practically untouched ? I don't date women as I'm married , but we, wife and I, do discuss the meal before ordering . Just asking like . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
