    I think most of us Lao people that are offended are defensive because Laos has a history of always being labeled as the “inferior Thailand” out of ignorance. A lot of food sold in Thai restaurants actually originated in Laos like papaya salad and laab. In many cases, Lao people opened up Thai restaurants because Thai food is more know. It’s a touchy subject backed by some dark history. But also just because Lao people did it first, it doesn’t mean Thai people can’t adapt and make it their own, especially food from the Isan region that borders Laos. At the end of the day, both Laos and Thailand have AMAZING food everybody should try !

      That makes no sense, if the food was good then it can stand on its own, early days every Asian was considered Chinese but Korean and Japanese people didn't say oh our food isn't popular so let's just call it Chinese food.

      Yes. Here in minnesota, about half of the Thai restaurants are actually Lao but Thai cuisine is more recognizable so they just call it Thai food.

    Uncle Roger made fun of Lao dishes, but then he was invited to a Lao restaurant to try the food, which he really liked. What make Uncle Roger work is he can make fun of a place and its food but is always game to have an expert cook for him or introduce him to something new.

    Lao food is one of my top fav Asian foods! It’s almost as if Vietnam and Thailand had a baby but more Unami flavors. Must try dishes:
    Nam Khao (crispy coconut fried rice)
    Laos Sausages (Sai oo-ah) with jeow som (spicy dipping sauce) and sticky rice
    Saloon Yat Sai (pork tapioca balls dipped in sweet sauce)
    Mok pa (steamed fish in banana leaves)
    Khao Poon (curry soup with vermicelli noodles)
    Khao piak (chicken noodle soup with tapioca noodles)
    Khao soy (tomatoey soup base with fat noodles)
    Laos style papaya salad (fermented fish and crab is the difference)
    Steamed or fried meatballs with lettuce in sweet sauce
    Sin Savanh (beef jerky)
    Thom Ken (caramelized pork with eggs)
    Pun Bah (fish wraps)
    Khua mee (sweet noodles)
    Keng no mai (bamboo stew)
    Daht seen (Lao BBQ)
    Laap (larb) minced beef, chicken, duck
    Naem (sour cured pork) eaten as a side

  • @MikiePhouthavong
    @MikiePhouthavong Год назад +1

    A lot of the frustration comes from Lao food being compared to Thai food when people don’t realize what they are eating is actually Lao food like Laab, Nam Khao, sticky rice, sausage, etc. Most Thai restaurants you eat at are actually Lao owned and disguised as Lao due to the lack of awareness on Lao food. Thai people look down on Lao people and use to call us and our food “dirty” but now that it is more mainstream, they claim it as theirs. A lot of tension between Laos and Thailand is due to the gerrymandering of the Issan region as it was part of old Laos and the erasure of Laos from Thai history (look up Thaiification).

    • @MikiePhouthavong
      @MikiePhouthavong Год назад +1

      The reason why Lao people got upset is because the comment uncle Rodger made perpetuates the stereotype that Lao food is the “shittier version” of Thai food. In the recent years, Laos and Lao food has been getting more spotlight with lots of Lao-only restaurants popping up and a large Lao-only food festival in San Diego but this comment reinstates a negative connotation about Lao food. It’s easy to say it’s not that big of a deal but food is a staple to the Lao culture so saying that Lao food is bad is essentially telling Lao people we aren’t worthy outside our homeland.
