They each took one bite and instantly pushed their plates away. It was their first experience with Thai curry and I don't think any of them were open to the experience to begin with. Plus, let's fact it, their mutual behaviour was just downright rude to him. A friend recently made Thai yellow curry for his girlfriend and two daughters.

Pad Thai worthy of a military Coup d'etat. If you're kinda-sorta past that student herd thing book a spot upstairs and Lindas and savour the Pad Thai without the gleaming german industrial warehouse full of shouting students.

M. thought he hated peas because he grew up eating the canned version. First time I got him to try fresh peas, it was like eating a completely different food. He's been happy to eat peas ever since. (I think the same would probably go for any canned vegetable - until you've had them garden fresh, you don't know what you're missing.) And Pad Thai... yum... fresh cilantro does make a world of difference. (thankfully for me, there are meatless versions of pretty much all things Thai) There is something to be said for trying the “real” version of something if you’ve only ever had a poor substitute before.
