There's one near me but I haven't tried it yet.

If you have eaten Thai food, what do you recommend?

Once you've had Thai food you'll never go back to Chinese cuisine.

Some dishes are hot but I find Thai food more fragrant. It's bloody delicious.

Mexican looks better and tastes mouth watering most do goody bags close to closing time at night so your grabbing a great deal

This forum got me in the mood now. I must try it.

I don't know why I've waited so long. For some reason I imagined there being vegetarian dishes and bamboo on the menu

Intrigued myself and I just googled bamboo. People actually eat that stuff.

I also just get red curry and pad Thai!

Avoid Thai buffets, like all oriental food unless it’s cooked fresh and cooked nicely, it’s bad

Thai food is fantastic, and I'd recommend either a Red Curry (with beef) or Massaman (as long as you don't have a peanut allergy)

I just made that for my tea!

For a first timer, I reckon a yellow Thai curry is a good one - mildest

If you like ita bit spicy - Chicken Penang with Jasmine rice is my pick.

On skewers with honey and sesame seeds?

I've been told about Thai Street Food - if you can get past the fact you're eating insects, apparently it's delicious

I have had many Thai meals with Thai people in Thailand.

The basic dishes were quite bland. Spices were added in liquid form, from small dishes on the table, like condiments here.

The Thais NEVER use curry powder. They consider that it makes people stink. Thai spices can be equally hot, but they don’t do this.

The Thai meals that I’ve eaten in restaurants here have been “Anglo-Indianised” to cater for English tastes.

Uk!

Depends where you eat. London has a couple of decent Thai restaurants

After Sashimi , Thai is maybe the hardest food to do properly the uk . It needs to be very fresh and served instantly but unlike Sashimi ingredients doesn’t need flying in fresh each day.

Very true.. It is hard to find a good thai Restaurant in the UK. You don't actually know how bad UK versions can be until you have eaten authentic dishes in Thailand. Having Thai cookery lessons out there was the best thing ever! I now prefer to cook thai foods myself than eat out and be dissapointed.

That's rather unfortunate. You are clearly eating in the •wrong• 'Thai' restaurants then!

Also, I'm intrigued about your 'red herring' comment: no one on here has mentioned "curry powder" or their use in Thai cooking.

Not eating Thai food at the moment but years ago I had a 'Real Thai Silk' tie 'Made in Thailand'.

That's what the label said, anyway.

There isn’t a “right” restaurant in the town that I live in. But there are many compensating benefits.

Posts numbers three and four mention "curry".

I know nothing at all about cooking. I just assumed that the curry taste and smell was imparted to food using curry powder. Very ignorant of me. I should have written that “native” Thai food doesn't taste or smell of curry.

Oh stop... You're just spoilt for choice being in the capital city of the UK. Finding good thai restaurants in Scotland is not so easy. That's not to say I have never eaten good Thai food in the UK... But its certainly not as good nowadays as it was twenty odd years ago. So I do think there's been an adaptation of some sort to suit british tastebuds.

Thai "curries" have no curry powder. The word "curry" is just a colloquial term.

I’ve never heard anyone refer to “Thai curries”. If you walk along Khao San Road you’ll never smell even a hint of curry. Ganja, yes, but no curry.

The restaurants I work for tend to be more famous for fish, but they do a couple of Asian dishes and their pad Thai is probably one of the best things I have ever tasted.
