Vegetarian Food Drinks Introduction A s Thai restaurants become increasingly popular throughout the world, the country s delightful cuisine is becoming almost as much as an attraction for visitors as the beaches and historical sights. This latter category arose historically from the differences between those recipes served to royalty and those to their subjects.
Thai food has a very distinctive flavor and people tend to either love it or loathe it.
Meals contain a pleasing blend of sweet, sour, salty and spicy tastes that is enhanced by the use of such herbs and spices as lemongrass, ginger, garlic and tamarind as well as the ubiquitous chili. One portion will usually serve two people - order a selection and they will be served family style at the table and eaten together in one course. It is considered unusual to order just one dish at a restaurant. Meat is chopped before cooking, so there is no need for knives. Soy sauce is only served with Chinese food.
