I'll admit that it isn't easy for me to try new things and places. I used to be a pretty picky eater, but I'm getting better about trying new things as I get older.

There must be 20 or more Thai restaurants my favorite is Suwana’s Thai Orchid here's a link if you are interested in it. https://usakor.com/suwanasthaiorchid/

I always get a kick out of the prices for common dishes eaten here...example Somtam papaya salad typically is about $1 to $2 depending on street vendor or sit down place. Asheville: $11.95..ouch

I've been eating one for dinner nearly every night for the last month. There's chicken, carrots, green vegetables, pineapple, and rice in a tangy sauce. I probably deserve a kick in the nuts for posting about this past expiration date frozen slop In the context of a thread about a fresh cooked Thai dinner. Maybe it's just my low brow taste and cheap skate nature shining through, but this stuff is good!
