Whereabouts in Thailand are you? My brother lived in Thailand for several years, north of Chaing Mai, up near the border.
He married a local woman, who is a very good cook. She makes an excellent sausage, though it's nothing like Western breakfast sausages, and far to spicy for me.
It seems that Northern Thai cooking is quite different from Bangkok cooking, which is what she says is served in most Thai restaurants in the states. Unfortunately, she can't get restaurant managers of the restaurants she has worked in to try any Northern dishes.
I love Thai food and would eat it everyday if I could!!!!
