Talk:List of Thai dishes

New lay-out for "List of Thai dishes"
I made the new lay-out for "List of Thai dishes" to also include Thai script and the real Thai names (kaeng phet instead of only red curry for instance). The page List of Thai ingredients will follow soon. Both "List of..." pages will enable the removal of most of the Thai script from "Cuisine of Thailand"- Takeaway (talk) 13:47, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Salad definition
Yam pla duk fu is only technically a salad. And not really a fish salad. In practice when one is confronted with the reality of the dish: A large deep-fried fluffy fritter filling the whole plate with a little salad on the side, so the word "salad" in defining it becomes at best tenuous. That is the reason why I didn't put it under the salad category. I deemed it could be misleading for those users who, wanting to try a new thing, order what they assume is a salad and then find themselves confronted with 90% deep-fried stuff.

 * What apparently defines something as being a salad is that the dish has a more or less sour dressing and is more or less cold. I refer to pasta salad as an example of a salad which hardly contains any vegetable or fruit. As you might (or might not) know, many Thai "salads" hardly contain any vegetable or fruit, such as yam mu yo, yam pla thu, yam khai dao, yam naem, yam wunsen, yam thale, yam kun chiang. - Takeaway (talk) 09:01, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, looks like that to me too, for example yam naem I would call hardly a salad. By the way. Do you know about Thai dry fish? I have some pictures, but cannot identify the species. (Xufanc (talk) 11:24, 25 August 2011 (UTC))
 * Oh my! There are so many types of dried fish used in Thai cuisine. And the Thai naming convention can be pretty confusing too. Something such as "pla wong", for instance, can be made of many types of fish, and it is only the shape that it is dried in (wong = "circle"), that denotes it as "pla wong". If you upload it to wikimedia as "Thai dried fish" and then send me the link to the image on my talk page, I will ask my Thai friends if they know what it is called in Thai and then maybe from there find out what its scientific name is. - Takeaway (talk) 11:56, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, there are so many types and vendors are not informed regarding the name of the original fish. I will download some of the pictures to commons as "Thai dried fish" so you can see them. (Xufanc (talk) 06:14, 26 August 2011 (UTC))

Koi-hoi
The medical literature lists something called "koi-hoi" as a popular Thai dish, in the context of articles about its health risks due to its raw snail meat content. Does anyone here know anything more about this dish? -- The Anome (talk) 11:00, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Koi here is ก้อย, a group of Isan/Lao dishes which use acidity (usually from lime juice) to denature proteins rather than cooking. More common dishes are koi kung (ก้อยกุ้ง), using shrimp, and koi pla (ก้อยปลา), using fish. The hoi in the mentioned dish, one might guess, refers to molluscs. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:39, 12 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I typed "ก้อยหอย" (koi hoi) in to google and it showed many photos of a raw snail "salad". It is indeed related to the dish called koi pla (see under "salad" in the article) that is made with raw fish. Koi is a type of "salad", and hoi can mean clam/oyster but also snail (in full a snail is hoi thak (หอยทาก)). See the google image search for "ก้อยหอย". - Takeaway (talk) 11:52, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Trouble archiving links on the article
Hello. I am finding myself repeatedly archiving links on this page. This usually happens when the archive doesn't recognize the archive to be good.

This could be because the link is either a redirect, or I am unknowingly archiving a dead link.Please check the following links to see if it's redirecting, or in anyway bad, and fix them, if possible.

In any event this will be the only notification in regards to these links, and I will discontinue my attempts to archive the page.
