ON THAI FOOD

The Thai Food Experience

To fully appreciate Thai cuisine beyond its dishes, requires a broader understanding of the overall culture surrounding food experience in Thailand. Understanding the thinking behind the way the food is served —if it is a standalone dish, shared or accompanied by something—, what is customary to eat on celebrations and national holidays and the differences it has from everyday food, as well as recognising the relationship of the broad texture and flavour palette with the various regions of Thailand.

Shared or Joey style?

Food in Thailand, as it happens with many cultures around the world, is a communal activity. The most common meal set up is “Family Style”, which means a variety of dishes to share. Rice is the only food that is individually served, since all dishes are served with rice as a side. Everyone takes a small amount of food from the shared dishes each time, and then goes back for extra servings when done. Throughout the meal duration there is an ongoing serving process, since the norm is to serve oneself with very small portions of everything available and not eat much per serving. The concept behind this custom, is that by serving a small amount of food every time, there is always enough left for everyone to taste all the dishes.

Of course one can also run across the One Dish Meals, which are the exact opposite of “Family Style”. The One Dish Meal (Ahaan Jaan Diew as pronounced in Thai) is a complete meal, not accompanied by anything, is not shared and is usually the choice of preference for a quick meal during working hours.

Chopsticks or Spoon?

There is a huge debate around whether Thai food is eaten with chopsticks or not. The truth is that all the restaurants always serve the food with a fork and spoon. This, however, does not mean that chopsticks are ruled out. Chopsticks, as well as noodles, where introduced to Thailand with the arrival of the first Chinese immigrants. Gradually, chopsticks became part of the culture, but are only used to eat noodles, whereas everything else is eaten with a spoon and fork. Everything arrives at the table already chopped in bite-sized chunks or is tender enough to be cut by a spoon.
