What is the chili sauce they serve at Thai restaurants called? When I'm at a Thai restaurant and I want to make my food spicier, the waiter/waitress always brings some crushed red peppers and a little bowl of chili sauce or paste.

Can someone please tell me what to look for? Thanks! It's not sriracha. It's more of a chunky sauce with seeds in it.

Why does Ashley go to Thai Restaurants? Okay, I really do hate to be mean and generally I am a docile person who says "live and let live", but after noticing some of the ?'s over the pastfew days why does Ashley, who is "super vegan" go to Thai Resturants that obviously doesn't share her beliefs? I mean if she is going to picket in her neigbors' driveway because he eats meat, isn't that hypocritical? Just wondering? Ha-Ha! That is true Just Me! I guess I should say that she/all/them/it/he has been a jucitarian/vegan and now a raw food person all in the span of four or five days. I am not sure which one is which anymore, so I guess I will lump them altogether.

How come most Thai restaurants don't cook with real Thai Chili Paste in the Prik King dishes anymore? I go to Thai Restaurants all over the country,and it seems they have all switched from paste to a broth style in that dish.

Who runs Thai restaurants? I am just curious because after Chinese, Thai food is very common and well known, but the problem is that I see Thai restaurants all around but not a lot of Thai people. I know that in America, the Chinese are the most dominant Asian group (by numbers) followed by Filippinos, Vietnamese, Koreans, Japanese, Hmong, Cambodian, Laotian, and lastly Thai. There aren't many Thais in the U.S., unless you mainly go to L.A., so who are the ones running the Thai restaurants? When I go to a Thai restaurant sometimes I will hear the cooks and they are Thai or Lao, but then sometimes I go to some places and when they would talk in "Thai" it sounds really off or sometimes they're not speaking Thai at all! I don't think the White Americans would care none the less or are too ignorant to know that what they are eating is sometimes not TRUE authentic Thai food! This is also why I hate eating at many Thai restaurants, because the food isn't good and a lot of the food has been altered.

Where is the best Thai restaurant in London? I want to treat my b/f to an interesting night out and I want to surprise him by taking him to a nice thai restaurant. I know he likes spicy food and he is always having me make him pad thai at home. Thanks Sweet Dragon = ^_^ =, First, just because I am a juicearian doesn't mean I can't go out to eat with my b/f. I can still enjoy a glass of water while he is enjoying his meal. I might even get the establishment to make me a quick juice if they have a juicer on hand. Secondly, a vitamix is a blender, not a juicer. Please do some some research before answer any more of my questions. Thanks for the laugh though, I get a chuckle everytime I read one of your idiotic replies. It is quite obvious that you people are jealous of me. I am very discplined and you are just plain jealous. I feel sorry for you people, I really do.
