Managed to sit out last night having a BBQ with friends, chicken kebabs and some lovely sausages from a local butcher. Good job it wasn't planned for tonight!
I've only ever once eaten "Thai" food and the menu was identical to our regular Szechuan Chinese restaurant two doors away.
Like mine last night then, most definitely not Thai.
For some reason the Chinese takeaways always use the phrase "Thai" to mean very hot/spicy. This is not generally the case with proper Thai food where the flavours are much more delicate and aromatic, although some dishes do have hot and spicy elements.

We have friends who lived in Bangkok for several years and, from what I learnt from them, authentic Thai food doesn't appeal to me. It all looks a bit wet with too much coconut milk and lemon grass for my taste.
My youngest stepson's wife is Thai, and she cooked a green curry for us all one time. I couldn't even cope with the fumes let alone eat it! Everyone else enjoyed it, although I noticed some had more than others.

Delicious! Very aromatic, not over spicy. The red curry that looks spicier is less so, although once again different versions of each contradict these rules. Basically the green curry is made with green chillies which tend to be hotter than red chillies used in (wait for it...) red curries. But not always.
