Argentinian food

Hello

I'm sure its lovely food

Like you say with all the different nationalities that dwell in argentina i'm sure the mix must produce lovely dishes

Thanks for your reply

[bkkden]

Following on with poster who mentioned Argentina. Chile is know to have the finest cold water fish as well if you are a fish lover. There is a lot of world class food to experience in South America if you can.

I read an article once malaysia and thailands cuisines were compared as being the same

The article claimed thailand copied malaysian dishes and credited malaysia as being the originators of that cooking style.

That I doubt very much. There are few, if any similarities and of all the SE Asian countries I rate Malaysia as having the worst food.

fish & chips is the best food in the world

[louthlincs]

totally subjective - however Thais do seem to think it is extremely healthy compared to western food which makes me wonder, as I often do, what is being taught at school here

[puipuitom]

The Thais already use some time the slogan "Thailand, the kitchen of the world".

When your world goes from Tachileik till Su Ngai Kolok, I can imagine. But compared to the Italian, French, Turkish, Greek, Spanish, Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese and many other kitchens, sorry...a close-to-nothing.

You can eat red-green-yellow-masaman-penang curry, and think, this is all in the world. And, when you are happy with that, why not.

Funny the way Thais eat the jumping prawn.

I don't know what the poor prawns have done to receive such a horrible death,

I don't know how much the prawn feels but getting the red hot chili treatment no wonder they are jumping!

Funny way for Buddhists to treat a sentient being.

A prawn is a sentient being?????

May suprise many. CNN travel world best foodby readers pick, drum roll. 1. Rendang 2. Nasi Goreng ( Indonesia) 3. Sushi 4. Tom Yam Kong 5. Pad Thai.........11. Lasagna.

[Ulysses G.]

I don't remember even hearing of "Rendang", so that does surprise me.

[recycler]

I like variation and eat from all countries and styles, if not available here we make it ourselves.

On an average week we can eat 4 different styles / regions of food and Thai food too.

[OmegaRacer]

Italian is the best, hands down...

But I can concede the term 'Mediterranean Food' to include Spanish and Greek food.

I certainly don't dislike Japanese, Indian and Mexican food.

Thai food...? It's ok, but getting bored more often and more frequently nowadays.

I don't remember even hearing of "Rendang", so that does surprise me.

Having tasted rendang, I am not suprised. Culinary expert call this spicy dish caramelized beef curry. Really an ethnic Indonesian dish that has gained world fame.

@bkkden

Hello

Chile has good fish

Thanks for the tip

I'm really a fish and chicken/poultry eater

Not too much red meat

Thanks for your help

[hanno]

A good Rendang is truly an amazing dish.

[Grateful farang]

@ eric loh

Rendang

Thanks for the tip

Sounds absolutely delicious

I must try some

[Grateful farang]

@brit1984

Hello mate!

I love fish and chips too!

Problem is its too pricey!!!

£7 is the average price nowadays all over london

[Bonefish]

Thailand, together with Laos and Vietnam, has the highest liver cancer rate in the world, due to parasitic worms that they ingest with their food prepared with fermented fish. Be careful of what you eat here, especially in the Isaan region!

The Thais also use astronomical amounts of MSG in their soups and sauces, and that includes the so-called high-end restaurants. Some people can stand it, many others cannot. It makes me very sick. I avoid Thai food whenever I can.

@ garrya

Hello

What makes me think thai food is the best is the taste.

Thai chefs and cooks have mastered the art of cooking!!

Thats just my opinion

The blending of spices and herbs.

I immitate thai flavours in my kitchen

Food from heaven

I read an article once malaysia and thailands cuisines were compared as being the same

Yeah not much like Thai. But have you tried char kway teow? Murtabak? (Indian Malay) Some Malaysian hawker food is delicious too.

Best SE Asian cuisine - Thai

Worst cuisine - Philippines

Best dishes - Murtabak, pho bo & som tam (haa met) khao niao gai yang

[simosiam]

Italian could be the best but in Thailand is hard to find the right restaurant and the ingredient are the lowest quality nothing to compare with the ones you can get in Italy so I think in Thailand Thai food is the best.

[tingtongteesood]

Absolutely not. It isn't the worst but is far from the best. Italian food is the best in the world by far ( No I am not Italian )

[Emster23]

For me it is also a toss up between Thai and Indian food. Being in Thailand of course gives Indian just a bit of a boost as it is not quite so available.

[Thaijack2014]

For me Thai food was untill a few years ago a no go... I just didn't like anything except Pad Thai.... then I met my gf and she cookes Thai food every day. I don't say I like everything, but nowadays I love (her) Thai food. I like Japanese as well, for me nr 2. Brazilian food can be pretty good, if you like "basic" food. The worst for me is from my own country, Dutch food.... just one of the most boring foods ever...

What I also like very much is Indonesian food and Malay food. I might still prefer some of it over Thai food. But hey, once you taste the food my gf cooks...

[slipperylobster]

Very much so, if you are Thai.

I am sure if you are a farang, it would be less so.

Difficult question...is it not?

[NCFC]

I ate an oyster last night - this morning I woke up beside mother of pearl....

More interesting is the worst food countries in the world.

In Asia I would vote for the Philippines, so bad I would never consider living there.

In the west it would have to be as another poster says, Dutch food, they really don't have a national cuisine just cheese and ham.
