Learning How to Think about Thai food
The Philosophy of Thai Food
12/1/1999
Breakfast: Breakfast is usually rice soup. There are two ways that you can have rice soup. However, in my parents' house, breakfast is what we have for dinner in every way. It is the only meal that we see one another. The menu resembles other houses' dinner. We are usually elsewhere for dinner.
- Plain rice soup eaten with other dishes. The dishes that accompany rice soup are usually salty or pickled.
- Rice soup that is cooked in chicken broth with seasonings.
Lunch - One Dish Deal: Served as lunch. For busy people, lunch is usually a bowl of noodles or a rice plate topped with meat and vegetables.
Snack: Thais snack all day. If you ever get a chance to walk around the streets of Bangkok; judging from the food carts along the streets, you'll realize that the Thais love food.
Dinner - Appetizers, Main Courses and Dessert
