THAI cuisine emphasizes lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components and is known for being spicy. Balance, detail and variety are important to Thai cooking. Thai food is known for its balance of the four fundamental taste senses in each dish and the overall meal: sour, sweet, salty, and (optional) bitter. Due to their Buddhist beliefs, Thais shun the use of large animals in big chunks. Big cuts of meat are shredded and laced with herbs and spices. Traditional Thai cooking methods are stewing and baking, or grilling. Instead of serving dishes in courses, a Thai meal is served all at once, permitting dinners to enjoy complementary combinations of different tastes. A proper Thai meal should consist of a soup, a curry dish with condiments, a dip with accompanying fish and vegetables. A spiced salad may replace the curry dish.
