Thai food vs Western food

In this essay, i want to compare the differences between Thai food and Western food. We all know that every different culture have different cuisine, taste and ways of cooking but you might not know about the exact differences so I'm writing this essay to give you some example of the differences.

 Firstly, the cooking method will be definitely different. Thai food are mostly cooked with spices and herbs but in the other hand western food are cooked with mostly butter, milk and cheese. For example, Thai soup "tom-yam" is cooked using spices and herbs like lemon grass etc. while soup like cream of mushroom in western food is cooked using cream and butter etc.

 Next, the taste, Thai food usually taste spicy, sour and sweet unlike western food which slightly taste salty, creamy. Example salad in western food usually taste creamy unlike the Thai papaya salad (som-tam) which taste sour and spicy.

 Last but not least, the way we eat it.Thai food are consumed by either using fork & spoon, chopstick or just using finger but when we are eating western food we normally use fork, spoon or knife. Example when we eat roast chicken the westerns will use fork and knife but we Thai people will simply use our fingers because it is convenient and we feel relax to eat with our fingers slowly.

 There is a lot of differences in the food around the world, it can be different traditional way or just personal habit/ like. Just like everyone of us having different preference of taste, even if we are the same race or even family members, we all will like different tastes of food.One example is the fruit " Durian", people who like its taste will find it very delicious but people who doesn't like the taste will find it very smelly and disgusting.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.
