What was Thai Mealtime
like in the 1850's |
|
The following description of a Thai mealtime,
written
in the 1850’s by Monsignor
Jean-Baptiste
Pallegoix:
Thais take all their meals seated on a mat.
The dishes are enclosed in great bronze
vases with a lid in a conical shape and
adorned with red cloth. Dishes are cut
in small pieces and rice is placed aside and to the right in a great, widening bowl. |

|
Diners have neither spoons, forks, nor knives, They only use a mother-of-pearl spoon to take
from the plates. For all the rest, fingers are
sufficient for them. Only when they are
satisfied
do they drink pure water or a
cup
of tea.
Drinking from the same cup is
not shocking
to them. Among the rich
people, the husband
usually eats before
his wife who serves him
at the table.
The Princes and the King are
different
from their subjects only by the quality
of cutlery and the variety of dishes.

TRAVELING TO THAILAND
!
DO I NEED SHOTS? WHAT CAN I EAT ?
OR WHAT SHOULD I NOT EAT
? |
|
People often ask "Do I need shots if I go to
Thailand and which ones should I get?
Let's assume that you will stay in the main cities, such as, Bangkok, Phuket, or
Pattaya and not venture out to do jungle trekking, etc. In those cases, most are
not concerned with receiving additional inoculations to protect from diseases
you may be vulnerable of contacting while in Asia. However, everybody should be
aware of
their health and sanitation when traveling, eating and drinking..

COOKING TIP |
If your recipe calls for peppers and you
forget to add them to the pot, Don't think
about preparing them in the microwave
or you will have an experience that you
will never forget. The peppers will
release a gas similar to what is found in
pepper spray, and will fill the room when
you open the microwave oven door. |
