A: What did you cook?
B: Well, as you know I was in Thailand last month,and I
took a cooking class! So I prepared some ofmy favorite
dishes.
A: Great idea! As long as I don’t get food poisoning!So
what is onthe menu tonight?
B: Ok, for starters we have Tom Yam soup. It’s a bit spicy,
but really good!
A: This is delicious! The ginger and lemongrass really
gives it a nice taste!
B: Now this next dish is one of the most famous.
Foreignerscall it papaya salad butthe proper name is Tom
Sam. It is a spicy salad made from a mix of fresh
vegetables including shredded unripened papaya and
tomato.
A: This is delicious! The combination of sour and spicy is
really interesting! I could have this everyday!
B: Ok, now forthe last and best dish in my opinion. This is
called Pad Thai. It’s stir-fried noodles with eggs, fish sauce,
tamarind juice, red chili pepper plus bean sprouts, shrimp
and tofu and garnished with crushed peanuts and coriander.
It’s practically Thailand’s national dish!
A: Wow, this is great! I never knew Thai food was so
creative and delicious!
B: Wantsome more?
A: I’m stuffed!
