Also vietnamese food is sometimes too weird for my palate. I love pho, but can't stomach the congealed pork blood.
And there’s a chance they didn’t give you “real” Thai food because you’re white (just assuming your ethnicity here)
What about the thickness/heaviness of the curries? They seemed thinner in Thailand. Here in the states a lot of the curries feel heavier like closer to an north Indian curry in terms of consistency.
It totally could be that I'm just more selective about where I go in my home town than I was in Thailand. And I was just wandering into a bunch of tourist shops there.
"When I’m out looking for food, and I come across a restaurant where the patrons are laughing and smiling and appear very sociable, I become wary. Don’t get me wrong. Having fun is a fine ambition, but it’s not the same thing as eating good food."
But really, it's an opinion. If you don't agree, move on.
There are issues this writer has with eating out, that no amount of good food will solve.
Besides, that isn't really what I was getting at. I don't think it is what the author was getting at either.
What I was trying to get at is that enjoyment of food is highly subjective and this writer says he gets himself worried if he sees pretty women enjoying themselves at the same restaurant he has just entered. He is basically setting himself up for a sequence of self-fulfilling prophecies that start from having an utterly ridiculous set of biases in the first place.
Interesting that we can casually stereotype male behavior now. I don't think this author is credible.
You don't have to accuse an entire group to be guilty of stereotyping.
If you get a big GDPR "We Value Your Privacy" pop-up with a 'AGREE!' button, well, guess what? They don't value your privacy.
The officially sanctioned way of dealing with this is to re-open the link in a 'private' or 'incognito' tab and click AGREE! This hits two birds with one stone: from the perspective of the analysts of such sites,
a) one person has visited the site and 'bounced', that is to say, left the site, never to return. And: b) one person visited the site, 'agreed' and then never visited again.
I mean, unless you like being tracked. Then, by all means, carry on.
