Cant eat chili, not a fan of rice, anyone else?

[Loles]

For sure for me No Thai food can't stand the stuff....

Spicy burn your face off can not taste nothing but but chilli..tom yum everything sour yuck....pad thai taste nothing but penuts...street stall food = poo poo sore tummy

Fermented fish sauce with chilli served with everything no thanks. the list goes on and on...

The half cooked weeds they put in my fried rice (that I don't like either) and still come out the other end in the morning same same corn if ya know what I mean..

For sure Thai food is one of the things I dislike about Thailand......

and I miss my mommy's meat loaf and her spaghetti sauce...

but there is Lots of things I like about Thailand as well...TIT

Dude it's time to grow up.

Mommy won't be always with her little lovely boy.

Which you have mentioned about Thai food it's a biggest bull_s-hit ever and shows you have no any idea about Thai kitchen.

If you visit any country of globe you will find Thai restaurants, try to find out whether why?

My European and americanos friends are crazy about Thai food and I have to send many boxes to them by air-mail with genuine components of

tom ka, tom yum, pad thai, rad na, etc..

it is important to eat local foods if possible when staying in a foreign land. this provides support for the local farmers. for example if visitors to thailand eat western food instead of rice, the rice farmers will lose income. this may result in less planting of rice trees and loss of the other benefits they provide to the environment (shade etc)

so people should eat food that they don't like in order to help support the rice farmers and provide shade...

shame you didn't offer up this nugget of wisdom before the rice scam was introduced.... you could have saved the country fortune!

Don't feed the TROLL.

Shady rice trees. . .

Dude, please don't make jokes out of that. I'd worked in the rice field tree business when I'd settled down in wife's village.

Threshing the trees by hand was always hard wok and therefore a lot of Lao Khao needed. Of course saving country drivers of Fortuners.-

re:118 so the pain in my guts every time I eat chilli is just my imagination?

You do realise it is plants defence for not being eaten so any sane animal would not eat it!

[Somsrisonphimai]

OP, here you go, I order one for you and one for me, 555.

[wym]

There is no single list of foods that are healthy or not for everyone, genetic/metabolic differences and certain allergies and disorders dictate that each individual has their own dietary requirements.

Lots of people can't handle certain spices, it's not an issue of open-mindedness nor machismo.

But the OP certainly needs to take responsibility and pursue the obvious solutions advised.

I ate papaya spicy salad and they must of made it super spicy, but woo hoo that burned the face of me, The Thais in the kitchen where having a great laugh at my expense ha-ha,

But my girlfriend loves it, but she is Thai so I would expect her too as she grew up eating chili, For me Iam a Farang and definity didn't grow up eating spicy food, quiet the opposite, if you served this you one of my brother he would think you had it in for him, or playing a bad prank lol

You have two options:

1. Choose a dish that is not made with chilli such as Fried Rice (Khaw Phad) with Chicken (Khaw Phad Kai), pork (Khaw Phad Moo), prawns (Khaw Phad Kung) or Noodle dishes (Khew tiou) with Chicken, Pork,

Prawn.

2. You can explain that you don't like spicy

Sorry not very comprehensive suggestions, but will keep you away from 7-11 and McDonalds for a few days

Sorry if someone has already pointed this out (Neeranam or Samran?) but google translate doesn't always work that well when translating between languages. I didn't have time to read all pages, so...apologies if I'm kicking in open doors.

The genus in the linked example is wrong, and it really doesn't reflect what a Thai would say.

I would just ask them not to put any chili in the food. (mai sai phrik).

As for the food without chili or rice; Man, you're in Thailand, one of the funkiest gastronomical places in the world! Your options are endless as long as you stop eating what 99% of the tourists eat (Thai food according to them is Khao Phad Gai, Phad Khra Phao and nothing else). You dont need to eat rice or chili.

Rice "trees"? Seriously? Do you even live on planet Earth?

You haven't seen them, great big things and the locals climb them to pick the rice?

Takes a whole day to pick one bowl of rice........you must have seen them.

[lanng khao]

I live on the outskirts of Bangkok where McDonalds is the only western food here lol and 7-11, so my diet has gone downhill, Anyone else in the same boat? and what was your solution? Also I don't have a kitchen at the minute so its difficult to cook my own food...

I am not a particular fan of Thai food generally, a couple of dishes are ok, but will not go out of my way to eat Thai food.

My solution go shopping for myself, Villa/ Foodlands/Tops etc once a week and cook for myself (Mrs S not the best western cook anyway) when I am at home, its not hard. I have a freezer full of "western" food. And before everyone start bleating on about how much money "farang" food costs....I will typically spend about THB 2k a week, of course this doesnt include the cost of the bolley and beluga...

Of course now you are going to get the Thaier than Thai one here saying unless you eat exclusively Thai food you will never be at one with your Thainess...

Like the Thai's in UK, who prefer a cow pat over a good spotted dick.

however would suspect there are quite a few Thai's working in the UK who enjoy a good old British spotted dick...

especially when they get a 1000 baht for eating it.

Western food is pretty easiiy found here, it just takes a little more searching for. Big C sells almost every western food, even sandwiches.

[fifthcolumn]

My hunch is that you don't like good food. There is a boatload of great food in Thailand that is not spicy. You seem to be very picky and I'm guessing have a poor diet in general. When you come to Thailand and all you have found to eat are sticks of bbq, you have a problem.

Moved to Asia, doesn't like rice. What possibly could go wrong?

At least you are honest, my guess is this is 70% of the TV brigade.

[lmfao]

Thanks' For all the good advise everyone..

To all the haters that say I have to learn to grow up and learn to look after oneself, learn to cook etc...

I have been looking after myself since I was 18

I moved into my own house and paid for my own college fees by working part-time... so I grew up very fast don't you worry and have lived in numberious countries around the world.. all with no support from anyone.

This is a General discussion part of the forum so I was speaking in General terms..

Also I never said I couldn't cook or look after myself??? I have even worked part - time in a French restaurant as a prep - chef along my travels...

Peace

Hmm right well I did eat spicy food for the first year I was here but it was affecting my Health and over a long period got worst I guess,

Only in the past 6 months have I not eaten chili or rice as I just don't find white rice appealing or tasty anymore.. and before I lived in On - Nut so it wasn't a problem...

Now give me Indian Food with Pulao Rice and I will eat it all day.. mm but I would not move to India just for there food... Also this might annoy some people but the Quality of the food in most street side shops in Thailand is way below standards of the west,

But I do think there Fruits and Pork are better quality.. just my opinion, Also I was speaking to a Thai guy who studied in Germany and he says the best Thai food he every had was in a Thai restaurant in German, put that in your pipe and don't smoke it as smoking kills lol

Sure plant them along with spaghetti trees which grow well in the Thai climate

Are you one of those teachers who never listen or fully read and ready with their smart answer? OP mentioned he is not a fan of RICE...!

[cashpower]

rice tree / rice bush. same thing different height. the point is that you should support the local economy whenever you are a guest on foreign soil. in asia you should eat rice. in USA macdonalds.

WHAT????

With your police escort from the airport and on shopping trips how will you ever get a chance to truly eat the local cuisine

Are you in Bangkok now? enjoying the shut down?

Just remember , as you so aptly put, YOU ARE A GUEST! act as one and not the uppity snob you portrayed earlier

[Friendly Stranger]

I'm getting hungry with all this talk.

I actually thought while reading the title this was a joke but I feel for you, so much delicious food, with some taken a while to get used to but the good ones are great.

I know they have them all over the place but is there a foodland near you? They cook Thai, western & European dishes decently.

Get a slow cooker and check the web for recipe's and you'll instantly have no fuss tasty meals.

Thank goodness they don't have to worry about tree octopi in the rice trees as the tree octopus is not native to Thailand.

It's a grain, basically a grass.

And people "should" eat whatever they like wherever they are in the world, for whatever reasons they feel like it.

I find it hard to believe that you actually believe the things that you write.

These are the rice trees at the back of my house, complete with rice picker.

As you can see... i don't comment very often... But it appears that you are in the entirely wrong place for your culinary tastes... S.E. Asia and you don't like rice? Seriously?!? Thailand and you don't/can't do chilis? I originally read this as though you were one of those creatures that live under the 3 Billy Goat's bridge and I dismissed it a a bit of fun... Now I'm wondering if you're really serious?

If you're serious and have these hang ups regarding the "standard" fare of this country... How can you be happy here when food is life? I can't imagine living in a country where I couldn't eat or found distasteful the food.

Seems to me that the solution is quite obvious...

[cashpower]

good lord! is that a rice picker? if i hadn't been told i would have mistaken the contraption for some sort of carnival ride for the kiddies. what an excellent looking machine.

Yup.

[cashpower]

i would never be disrespectful of a foreign culture or their work. in fact i was told that the locals here were revolting and refused to believe it.
