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.

As long as she's not smoking and drinking modrately, and add gambling to that, enjoy as many grasshoppers as you wish darling.

I fed my monkies 3 grasshoppers each this morning and then they would not eat their yoghurt.

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!

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 ???

Mines the same ...

How do they do it? ... hollow legs.

Could be the only place they put it all.

We've all watched 10 of them down what and Army of a 100 soldiers would eat.

Never stand between a (Thai) woman and food ... you'll get stomped in the stampede ...

Very inconsiderate.

Which is why I ceased such behavior within months of arrival.

But it was otherwise fun in the beginning. Now just thinking about does my head in!

Especially especially pregnant Thai women. Just keep feeding them.

Eh, it wasn't a romantic date

I've known this lady for a while and I hadn't seen her since April. It is possible to talk to a woman without trying to get into her knickers you know.

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.

You forgot the rum.

My GF loves it too, but my dog gets to lick the bowl.

Been there; done that

The line I hate is 'we have for breakfast tomorrow mai?'

Som Ka Kai reheated 12 hrs later for breakfast - no thanks. It never stops her from doing so though

Good thread Blether!

Good to see the op not polish it off....or did he !!

Good luck to him. Go for it Blether.

Mrs Possums the same too, but only the food she takes home is for the dogs.

The food was excellent and she ordered too much, so we walked away from the best part of two dishes uneaten.

I wonder if the lady would have been so cavalier with her attitude if she was the one paying?

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.

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'.

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.

How about the vegetarians ?

Mrs.Trans never stops eating . If she has a headache she says cos she hasn't eaten for a while, if she has a stomach problem she stocks it up with more food, bless.

yes, Neanderthals still walk among us.

TV is testament to that.

Mine every now and then gets worried about her weight then blames me that the food I buy is too delicious. After all she eats what I eat and then goes to the mothers place to eat more.

Oieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, l am a hansum Neanderthal, all the ladies say so.

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 .
