Everything You Need to Know About Thai Food

We love Thai food! We especially love its bold flavors. This sentiment was also echoed by the late chef, author and intrepid traveler Anthony Bourdain. When tasting Thai cooking for the first time, he remarked: “It was like discovering a colour I never knew existed before. A whole new crayon box full of colours.”

We adapted and abridged two articles by TheWingedFork.com that answer what Thai food is all about. Our hope is that it awakens your senses to the colorful world of Thai flavors…

The World Really is Your Oyster

Do oysters make you horny? For some people, the answer is “yes.” We found that there’s a good reason for this: these molluscs are a rich source of zinc, which increases testosterone (as well as sperm count). Hey, if you’re not sure about your sperm count, we could try to, uh, count it for you. Perhaps we could keep track of this – in the name of science, of course! – at The Naked French Villa. As one of our Off-the-Beaten-Path activity options on that trip, we travel right to the source of this aphrodisiac, to eat what many believe to be “the best oysters in the world.”

We found a great read on these delicious morsels, at BarefootBlogger.com. Enjoy reading today… and tasting, in September!
