MAX FOODIE: THAILAND (2)
Americans are accustomed to Thai food but what you get in mainland Thailand is quite different than the local Thai joint in California. Which is better? Liesel embarks on a mission in Bangkok to understand the essence of what true Thai food is all about… Has America adulterated the authentic Thai way of cooking to suit palates? Or does Thailand have a lock on authentic and lesser known herbs, spices and techniques that never migrated over to America? Original or an international reversion? Liesel pokes around touristic districts interviewing foreigners, samples breakfast at bustling neighborhood joints, and of course, it wouldn’t be Thailand without a bug eating escapade! A look at an iconic locals-only farmers market sets Liesel on an objective to source hard to find Thai ingredients that might not make it across to America. Is this why the Thai dishes in US taste so different to what you get in Thailand?
