Thai Food And Thai Food

Thai cuisine is an example of syncretism, Nordic skiing is not. Mrs. Antrim’s quizlet states that syncretism is “a blending of two or more religious conditions”. Nordic skiing is not an example of syncretism because it is its own distinct type of skiing and is not influenced by any other cultures whereas Thai cuisine is influenced by many cultures, making it an example of syncretism. Therefore, Thai cuisine is an example of syncretism, Nordic skiing is not.

After reading this article, I’ve realized that the idea of food, eating, and even the type of food is different when compared to different cultures. Specifically, the article talks about food as an identity, as survival, as a status, as a pleasure, as a community, and as humanity. For each of these main ideas, the article gives an example of each culture and what they do differently with food. One that I though was really cool was how in China, people would rather eat unique textured foods such as Jellyfish and pig ears, instead of something that has a unique taste. After reading this, I began to thinking that this was the complete opposite compared to the American culture. This is because we will usually eat foods for taste and when we eat

White American women viewed Thai food as a quick getaway for viewing the Thai culture as they made variations labeled as Siamese (Padoongpatt 21). This relates to the argument because Thai cuisine was able to create a false sense of cultural knowledge; much like how people will claim orange chicken is their favorite Chinese dish, they are both things that White Americans claim makes them more multicultural. This leads into Padoongpatt’s next major point of changing geography. During the 1960 and 70’s, an influx of Thais decided to come into the United States, legally and illegally, with it came the uprising of both domestic access to Thai ingredients and Thai restaurants. This brought forth the fanfare of White Americans falling in love with the Thai people through their culinary treasures presented in their aesthetically traditional restaurants (Padoongpatt).

While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact time human beings began to consume foods, for millions of years a diverse range of culinary patterns and convivial customs were cultivated. As the human dining habits evolve, food can be seen as a continuous reflection of the different cultures around the world. In fact, “food is perhaps the most distinctive expression of an ethnic group, a culture, or, in modern terms, a nation” (Flandrin, Montanari and Sonnenfeld 1999, p. xvi). The huge wave of globalisation in the past few decades made cultural exchange commonplace, however, indigenous dishes from an alien country may come as cultural shocks to people who are foreign to the certain culture.

Southeast cooking comes from Thailand, Viet Nam, Singapore, etc. Featured dishes in this culture are lightly prepared and aromatic, such as stir-fry, steaming, and foods with lots of herbs (Purpose of This Site).
