Goodthaigirl Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 BelgianBoy commented about Thaigirl and cheese in here in Arts and Culture. As it is about food I decided to start a new thread in this section. Here is his first comment.wine and cheese with a Thai girl ??? Do you know any that like cheese ??? I dont !!! I told him"You're talking to one. " And he said "..(snip)...With all respect, 'your' cheese is it in name only, 'mine' is what P127 will call the real stuff........ Ever had a camembert or a brie for example ? Or real gruyere ? and not the copied stuff !!!! " I don't know what is real or unreal. But I love brie very much. My first taste was in a restaurant in a farang country I don't remember where. Then I have had it many times. Warm brie as a dip with vegetable...umm. I've had gruyere in Paris, France. Is it real enough ? May be not ? I can't remember all the cheese names I've tried over the years. If I can't pronounce the names I forget them ! I like blue cheese too. It's smelly but it's tasty - like Pla ra (Isan fermented fish). So, for all of you guy, have you had your gfs (pros/non-pros) try cheese? What kind have you had them try first? What's the reaction ? How long did it take them to get used to it? Or even love it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bibblies Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Um, she loves wine with pizza and pasta but went nowhere near the small amount of brie I once bought from Villa Market to go with our pasta. I've kind of accepted this cheese-hate from Thais and, in fact, I wouldn't want it to stop. After all, most cheese is full of horrible saturated fats - you could get as fat as western women in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiGirlLover Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 My GF loves wine - we always enjoy a good bottle during dinner. As for the cheese, she does enjoy it, but it is not her first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brink15 Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 My wife likes very good cheese like a well aged cheddar or a very good brie. The only time she will eat it is at a party. She doesn't want cheese in the house as it is fattening. Oh and the supermarket stuff, no way. I guess if she is going to have something fattening it better be good quality. The only problem with this is that occaisionally I like cheese and crackers and can't always get the good stuff. "Why do you eat that. The taste is no good. You eat that make you fat." Oh well.

Guest Posted December 13, 2002 Report Share Posted December 13, 2002 HI, i found that as long at it looks like cheese you see in supermarkets etc. they wont hardly touch it. But as soon as it is part of a dish its Ok with them. I know a few where you combine rice with melted cheese and a few other things and my thaifriends love it. They even start looking for cheese when they go shopping and i had to show them how to make these dishes. mupfel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Hippie Posted December 14, 2002 Report Share Posted December 14, 2002 I have found that cheese in a cooked dish is o.k. Such as pizza and one eggplant parmagine I made. But as a snack most Thai girls I know stay away. I dropped off 2 bottles of California wine last trip, no report on how they were received! (o.k. I forgot the cork screw! ) My self, I love cheese, but stay away as it is very fattening and irratates my sinuses! Most dairy products do. I have heard many Thais have trouble with dairy products irratating their stomachs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
