Thai food & peanuts?

Question

why is it that there is alot of peanut stuff on Thai food ? I ordered some today and even the fried doughnuts came with peanuts ?

Answer 1

They are nuts over there in Thailand... ^_^

I'm guessing they are easy to find and cheap there, and peanuts add a good flavor to many things. Look at how many people love peanut butter here.

Answer 2

That's just the Thai style. I think it's tasty, don't you think so?

Answer 3

they like it that way

Answer 4

Peanuts are a major crop here in Thailand...they're easy to grow, process, ship and store. I also find that there are peanuts in the least suspected places...in soups, desserts, salads, meat dishes, veggies, and curries.

Interesting enough, the only peanut butter I can find in groceries here is imported from the US...JIF and Peter Pan!

Answer 5

Oh it's the Thai way! I love it! It is so good! Amazing food!
