Welcome to world food. Here you can jump to any of the countries I cover and get straight yummy stuff. As we visit each country I write it up for its culinary expertise and experience in our world food blogs. Whether it’s a Thai green curry or a Sri Lankan fruit you can find it here. Interested in chocolate covered bacon? Then look no further than the American section. There is something for everyone.
Take a look and if I haven’t covered your favourite country or cuisine let me know. I’ll add it to the list of places to visit. Which, incidentally, seems to be getting bigger, not smaller as we hunt out more of the world’s interesting places in search of yet more world food. Hope you enjoy the ride.
Most Thai dishes have a fair amount of kick and some people refer to this as “spicy”. Thai food actually uses few spices, nothing compared to the spice array used in Indian food, Nepalese food, or even in the British dish, Christmas pudding. However, Thai food can be “hot”. Not all Thai dishes are “hot” …
What are the best Thai dishes to try? There are thousands of Thai dishes beyond pad Thai and green curry and we explain more about them in this post.

Are you a morning person? I am, so that first coffee and something to eat are very welcome, particularly if I’m sitting overlooking a stunning, deserted Thai beach or a sleepy Central American town just starting to wake up. We’ve been sampling breakfast around the world on our travels, 50+ countries over 6 years. Here are …
