Foreigners - Which Thai dish do you dislike most?

[ClashFanSG]

We all know Thai Cuisine is widely popular globally and I think most of the people here enjoy Thai food as much as I do.

Would be interesting to know which type of food that farangs/foreigners dislike most.

For me, as a Singaporean Chinese, i have no problem with general south-east asian flavors like red hot chilli padi, durians etc. I have tried things like sour fish, deep-fried insects, extra extra extra spicy som tum (that make you tear instantly) and all kinds of plaa-laa dishes - no problem.

My only problems are dishes with bamboo shoots (nor mai) and smelly beans (sa-tor?) i have no idea what the proper name is but it looks like a 1-baht coin sized flat green bean that smells.

So, which is the one you dislike most? (Thais are welcome to contribute too)

Easy, it has to be ข้าวผัดอเมริกัน.

Yes, that is disgusting!


I'll add this snack.... dried squid...pressed flat and hanging in the sun, of course!

I like Lab mai sook but I don't like Lab mai sook sai leuat (Raw beef with blood).

[Pailin]

Oh, yes, yes.... ไม่ใส่เลือด was a quick necessary phrase for me!

Anything insects of course, but oddly enough I am not particularly fond of coconuts. I don't like coconut based sweets, and while I don't mind some coconut in the curry dishes, if the coconut taste is too overpowering I do not like it.

I absolutely despise yen-ta-fo. I know a lot of people like it but the unnatural color and sweetness I just can't deal with.

Me too. The first time I ate congealed pigs blood to avoid offending my Isaan hosts I worried for days that I would contract some horrible disease like trichanaiasis. I decided that in future they would just have to be offended!

But Plaa-laa has to be the ultimate in truly horrible Isaan/Lao dishes that I will never eat again, after trying it only once. A truly life-threatening dish for Farangs, especially if you are on a Mekong river boat some days away from medical help. It is a putrid, fermented fish mixture that is left bubbling away in the sun in a four gallon can for days and has the foulest smell imagineable.

I don't care for any of the "road kill" seafoods. These are the dried tidbit, squid included, that you can smell 20 meters away.

I never liked yen ta fo either, until my wife order some with bah mee instead of the classic rice noodles. Spiced up with a little ground chili, it's pretty darn good.

SAME HERE! -_-" The name of it doesn't look delicious, sounds like some outer space snack.
