| I was thinking of providing a comprehensive of | | | | |
| "foods found in Thailand" list but decided there are | | | | Wing bean salad - This very similar to the dish |
| just too many and listing the foods that I love | | | | above but tends to have more of a tomato base |
| most would be far easier. So... The list below | | | | and chopped fresh wing bean are added and |
| provides a short list of my favorite Thai foods. | | | | lightly cooked at the end. Very tasty. |
| Fried Rice - I love Thai style pork fried rice for | | | | |
| breakfast. This is basic fried rice with tomatoes, | | | | Glass noodle salad - glass noodles are made of |
| onions with Thai spices like lime and chili thrown in | | | | green bean, are very thin, and absorb the flavor |
| at the end. | | | | of the accompanying foods very nicely. |
| | | | | |
| Thai Omelet - The Thai omelet is simple but | | | | Fried grouper - this a simple deep fried sea fish |
| delicious dish made of eggs, chili, onions, pork and | | | | dish. What makes it on my favorite is the |
| other things as desire. The chilies make it spicy | | | | condiment they serve with it. The English name is |

| | | | | green chilies and garlic in fish sauce. It is very |

| | | | | |
| La moo ma ma or Ground pork salad - this is | | | | The longer i live in Thailand the longer this list |
| browned ground pork with chilies, fish sauce, | | | | grows. When visiting Thailand I urge you to try as |
| tomato sauce with chopped shallots mixed in | | | | many things as possible, but remember, most |
| before served. This is often served with instant | | | | western people can not eat the spice level of the |
| noodles. This is another HOT dish so, again, be | | | | Thais, not without practice. |
