First get a life, second plan for that life, third.........

Whatever

[SoiBiker]

Thai, mostly.

[Stradavarius37]

Salad and yogurt...

[BigBadGeordie]

Thai, mostly.

You eat Thai? I eat Indians, there are a lot more of them, but then again, I am a fat B'stard.

[Jip99]

Thai, mostly.

I don't really like Thai.

That is not strictly true - I don't like white rice and the sickly smell of rice in the cooker really turns me off it. Shame because I love krappow. A khao pad is OK when nothing else appeals.

I try to avoid the curries made with coconut milk (although I accept they are tasty). The soups are largely overrated and I have never felt the love for Tom Yung. BBQ (which is not really BBQ but a poor man's hot pot) is bland and often the cheapest ingredients are used...... I know, I know, what do you expect for 119 Baht cost!

Too much Thai food , certainly in the provinces, is fried and too much is not of a good standard. Of course, there are exceptions but outside the major towns quality is very hit and miss. Add to that a level of service that borders on pi55-poor (guaranteeing at least one missing dish - or rice coming at the end).

That said, I have had some nice fusion dishes and I am grateful for the abundance of Thai fruit and vegetables.

For the quick bite, I agree - dive in the freezer for something you have pre-prepared like lasagne, stew and dumplings, chilli con carne ..... or a chicken vindaloo, pilau rice and onion bhaji's

If the sickly smell of the rice in the cooker turns you off, do what millions of people do boil the rice in a saucepan and you don't have to eat white rice, there are many varieties. You don't need coconut milk in curries, it just makes them thicker, try without. I don't care for soups and as for Moo Ga Taa with their aluminum centre piece they can keep it. There are some nice Thai dishes but they need to be made right not just thrown together. Like you I am grateful for the abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables that can be used to make many things.

Halal food

[eldragon]

Gra pow/fried holy basil. Garlic, chilies, meat, vegetables, and holy basil. Easy.

[Rooo]

Moved to Pub.

[robertthebruce]

Anything that is remotely healthy, as most Thai food is heavily Salted and Sugared, or with loads of Soy Sauce, which is basically Salt...

Much prefer Brown Rice to White, but it's not easy to find....

Love all the fresh fruit, that's for sure... Such an Array...

[sipi]

I love ponies. But l couldn't eat a whole one.

[Skyboogie]

Pre-cut fruit. I'm partial to Pomelo.

[pgrahmm]

Home cooked Thai food....mostly with veggies, some tofu and pork....pretty healthy - no deep fried stuff.....some western when out and about but not often....usually a great pizza or burger - sometimes a big sized DQ which I'll sub for a meal but most of our meals are sit downs at home....just had a buddy pick up parts for my bbq/smoker in the US so will be able to use it after almost a year.....always fruit between meals.....3 liters H2O a day stems the hungry signals......

Exactly what i do Chef,i cook a large batch of something,for instance,a greek Mousakka,in a 13'x9' pan,or yesterday a Lasangna,i then eat some that night and freeze the rest in those marvellous tin foil dish things with the plastic lid you can get in Makro,so at the moment i have a choice of;

Lamb biriyani

Mousakka

lasangna

pork and beans

and something else that has been in to long and got all frosted up, could be interesting,this way i always have something on hand if i am,to tired,lazy,or drunk to cook,do not mind thai food,but where i am the wife eats a lot of issan food,even though we are not actually in issan,and i don't like it.

I am in Isaan and I don't like it either (the food).

I am sure that chickens feet have their place, but my plate is not one of them!

[SoiBiker]

I hardly ever cook western food at home - the ingredients are generally over-priced and poor quality. I'd rather make use of the cheap, fresh stuff that's in abundance here and make something tasty.

[garrya]

We cook almost every day, depending on how busy we are. My wife cooks delicious Thai foods, I cook western and eastern European food and we eat out once or twice a week. Love the diversity of foods we consume.
