If you love a combination of spicy, sour, sweet, salty and bitter then you might LOVE Thai food.
If you have acid reflux, many food allergies (especially peanuts, coconut and fish), think Louisiana hot sauce is the hottest thing on Earth, aren't the gastronomically adventurous type and are sensitive to strong smells and flavors, you will probably not like Thai food.
Most common ingredients in Thai food: peanuts or
peanut sauce, fish sauce (smells awful when cooking but tastes great and the smell does not remain that strong when done), lemongrass, coconut milk,
bird's eye chili, cucumbers, lemons, curries, garlic,
jasmine rice and apple banana (it's a special type of banana).
Try it. You might become addicted.
Good Thai food experience: "Dude, I had some tom ka
gai and I don't want to eat anything else for the rest of my life."
Bad Thai food experience: "Oh yeah? Well my ass as a ring indented on it from sitting on the toilet for hours.
Worst case of
the shits ever."
(Most likely Thai won't give you the shits, so fear not!)
