MEAT
Hello!
This week I'm going to talk about the local's favorite food! For starters, Thai people absolutely love their meat. I would even dare say that you can find raw meat or meat being cooked in 90% of the food stalls that line the streets.
Leaving my campus, there is a street that is fully packed with food stalls and outdoor restaurants. Whenever I walk through there, there is meat hanging and being displayed everywhere. Cooked chicken and duck bodies hang from stalls, and drawers hold pieces of meet, big and small.
Specifically though. Thai people love selling small pieces of meat on a stick, kind of like a kebab or skewer. They mainly sell beef and chicken skewers. There's really no way to distinguish between beef and pork skewers without tasting them, however, due to my observations, I assume that they don't each much pork in Bangkok.
Thai people sell kebabs, as in sticks with both meat and vegetables, and they also sell just meat on the stick. You can get these sticks already cooked, or also, a lot of food stalls just have the raw meat lying around, and then once you buy a stick they cook it there for you.
The raw meat on the sticks really doesn't smell like much, however, the cooked meat smells absolutely delicious. It really depends on the seasonings they use on the sauce and meat, but most of the skewers have a bit of a sweet smell to them.
I personally haven't tried these meat skewers yet in Thailand, however, I did try some when I went to Laos. I think in Laos I got beef skewers, and they were delicious. The meat was perfectly tender, and they had used a sweet sauce on the meat which was also good.
I would be willing to try the skewers here in Thailand also, however, because I see them everywhere and they're such a simple food, I haven't really had the curiosity to try them yet. At the end of the day, it really is just meat on a stick.
This simple dish, however, is perfect for snacking and it's no wonder that it is a Thai favorite. On average, they cost 10-20 baht for a stick, which is less than one dollar. Each stick usually has around three or four small pieces of meat, which isn't very much, however it is the perfect size for a light snack. Since the meat does fill you up though, you could easily buy more sticks and feel satisfied with maybe four or five.
Since I love almost all types of food, there isn't anything here in Thailand that I wouldn't try. I've already tried a fried scorpion, and also these small worm things. I would be down to try anything that comes my way.
