Probably more of a "citified" topic (regardless of country) - where food/club/shopping/event trends are more important to the "trendies" lifestyles....

I've started making it again as I can get kilo bags of ground beef at makro which was a major discovery...also facilitates meatloaf, meatballs, bolognaise, etc...good 'ol western downhome cookin'...

simon43 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 In the past few months, I have been eating Myanmar food more often. I live in Myanmar, not in a tourist area. The only foreign food restaurants are Thai restaurants (with pretty tasty food). IMHO, a lot of Myanmar food is very unhealthy ==> white rice, pigs' <deleted> or intestines fried in car sump oil. For that reason, I previously studiously avoided buying any Myanmar food. Now I'm trying to delve a little deeper into foods that fall outside the unhealthy tag. In my local supermarket, I found chive root and mixed spices that is either eaten on it's own or sprinkled on other food. It is very tasty just on it's own. There are one hundred weird foods in the supermarket - some look terrible but maybe taste OK. I have to be adventurous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you're creating an imaginary super nation in your mind of the POTATO peoples. So would that mean Peru and Ecuador would be in the Farang nation as well?

Touch of chilli in beans Great, but that didn't answer the main question at all. The question is what national cuisine have you eaten MORE OF in the last few months? In other words, looking for recent changes in habits. Not habits per se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer stands no changes in habit. I look for spicy food more than I used to. KFC being my day off spice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I've started eating less "Italian" food, now my "Indian" colleague has left, as he was vegetarian, Mondays and Fridays. I still eat Indian food every Friday, though, because the food court is quiet on extended-prayer-day, I live opposite the Police Station (in 998 Letsby Avenue - just kidding; I do live opposite the police station, though).

Jingthing Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Yes, random life events can have an impact. It's worth noting that if you're eating MORE of a certain nationality of food, it implies you're eating LESS of another nationality of food. In my case, as I said more Indian. Less Thai for the random reason that my local/good/cheap Thai place changed their cook and now it's crap. I do find craving choices interesting, though in the real world cravings intersects with availability and budget. I could crave Ethiopian food till the cows come home in Pattaya, but it just ain't happening. Edited March 13, 2017 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
