No offense to you or your people, but i spent a few months last year working in the Philippines and i cannot express to y’all how absolutely wretched the food was.. both the local Filipino food, and their versions of Western food.. it was so bad that for my last month there, i ate every meal from a TGI Fridays in the mall, and from a Costco pizza place…. I dont know how Thailand does it , but their food is the polar opposite- it’s like NOLA in that it’s really hard to find a bad meal in Thailand, and it’s about 1/10th the price of food in America.. they are both ‘developing nations’, so i dont get it.. anyway, sorry to derail the thread .
