In fact, at Thai dinner tables you tend to eat more rice than anything else, especially perfectly sticky white grains.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"facts\" class=\"fact-box content-section content-section--purple\">\n    <div class=\"container container--medium fact-box__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"fact-box__content\">\n                                                <h2 class=\"title title__rice title__rice--left-2 u-h1\"><span>FACTS<\/span> <span>ABOUT<\/span> <span class=\"title--outline\">THAI<\/span> <span class=\"title--outline\">FOOD<\/span> <span class=\"title--outline\">CULTURE<\/span><\/h2>\n                            \n                            <p>The Thai bring a whole new meaning to the phrase \u2018family style\u2019. They often eat together from a single large bowl with a few sides, and everyone is encouraged to try each dish.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Songkran is a festival that celebrates Thai New Year in April. Water plays a huge part with cleaning rituals to wash away bad luck and welcome good fortune and prosperity.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>While dishes like Pad Thai may make us think noodles are traditional Thai cuisine, noodles were only introduced relatively recently during World War II; rice is a much more traditional food in Thai culture. Noodles were brought in to help ease a war-caused rice shortage.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thai dishes strive for a balance between spicy, sour, salty, sweet and bitter ingredients, with many recipes calling for fish sauce and other seafood for saltiness, fruits for sweetness, chillis to add spice, tamarind and limes for tang, and raw green leaves and baby aubergines for bitterness.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thai food owes much of its vibrant flavours to its fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs and spices.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Rice is such a key part of Thai cuisine that \u201cGin k\u00f4w r\u0115u yang?\u201d (Have you consumed rice yet?) is a common greeting throughout Thailand.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Rice (steamed or fried) is a common breakfast food in many Thai homes, along with noodle soups, stir-fries and omelettes.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thailand\u2019s tropical climate means fruit grows in abundance and, as well as fruits being important ingredients at mealtimes, mangoes, papaya, watermelon and melons are popular snacks too! Fruits are often dipped in a mixture of salt, sugar and chillies.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Another popular snack is deep-fried cockroaches.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>It\u2019s considered bad luck to eat alone in Thailand.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thai desserts use a lot of coconut (flesh and cream) as well as rice flour, rather than dairy cream or wheat flour.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ovens are rarely used in Thai cooking, Thai people prefer to stir-fry, deep fry and grill their food.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thai basil is very different to Mediterranean basil; it is spicier than its European counterpart and has hints of aniseed and liquorice.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Instead of eating three meals at set times during the day like Westerners, Thai people will eat as and when they are hungry \u2013 often interrupting whatever they\u2019re doing at the time!<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"fact-box__image\">\n            <picture>\n\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/tildaricelive.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/23100222\/thai.png\" media=\"(min-width: 2000px)\"\/>\n\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/tildaricelive.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/23100222\/thai.png\" media=\"(min-width: 1440px)\"\/>\n\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/tildaricelive.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/23100222\/thai-840x840.png\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\/>\n\t<source srcset=\"https:\/\/tildaricelive.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/23100222\/thai-420x560.png\" media=\"(min-width: 360px)\"\/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"thai\"  src=\"https:\/\/tildaricelive.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/23100222\/thai.png\" width=\"\" height=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"flavours\" class=\"spices content-section spices--256485881\">\n    <style>\n        .spices--256485881 {\n            background-image: url(https:\/\/tildaricelive.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/23095042\/spice-limes.png);\n        }\n\n        @media (max-width: 768px) {\n            .spices--256485881 {\n                background-image: url(https:\/\/tildaricelive.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/23095042\/spice-limes.png);\n            }\n        }\n    <\/style>\n    <div class=\"container container--medium spices__wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"spices__content\">\n            <h2 class=\"spices__title\">THE SIGNATURE FLAVOUR OF THE THAI CUISINE<\/h2>\n            <h3 class=\"spices__subtitle\">Limes<\/h3>\n\n                            <p class=\"spices__text\">Used for their juice, peel and leaves, limes are essential to giving Thai and Vietnamese dishes that signature punchy zest.
