[Sca-cooks] Re:Thai food history was papaya

[johnna holloway]

The Cambridge World History of Food
has an article on the food and drink
of world regions. "Southeast Asia"
is chapter v.b.2, volume 2, pages
1151-1165. There is a bibliography
of roughly 60 items on pages 1164-1165.

Another source might be the bibliography
for Alan Davidson's 1977 book entitled
Seafood of South-East Asia.

There is this volume:
Kæ roi samrap Thai /
Kannika Phromsao.;  Nantha Benchasilarak;  Prayad Saiwichian.
1999 Phim khrang thi 1.
Thai  Book 175 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.
Chiang Mai : Samnakphim Wannarak, ISBN: 9748530337
It's indexed under:
Thais -- Food.
Food habits -- Thailand.
Cookery, Thai -- History.
Geographic: Thailand -- Social life and customs.
Note(s): Includes bibliographical references (p. 168-175)

Another source would be this one:

I will also check my in-laws library for anything
they have. They spent most of the 1960's there.

Hope this helps,
