Thai Food

I can't leave Thailand without mentioning the food. Pad Thai is the dish most non Thais start with which is stir fried noodles, meat, spices and tastes superb - very easy to eat and moreish. I've had the most amazing red curries which have just been hot enough to make your lips go numb. I've managed to get a recipe for one from a Thai, so some of you may be on the receiving end when I get back! As you would imagine, the thais use a lot of rice, noodles and coconut milk but also veg, fruit and nuts so I've had some really healthy meals here. But my favourite by far has been their mangoes - oh my god, they are to die for! The most delicious, sweetest fruit I have tasted. So far removed from what we get in our UK supermarkets. The Thais eat them with sticky rice and coconut milk which together taste a bit like rice pudding. Yummy yummy yummy, I've got love in my tummy!
