An interesting facet of the Thai diet

We've been playing a lot of name games in music classes—high schoolers might be receptive to, “You have one new name and face to learn mid-term, I have a hundred and eighty,” but primary kids aren't so much. What started as one of my standbys but grew absolutely fascinatng was the food game: “My name is _______ (rest) I like ___(food)____!”

A couple of students named candies, one class went for pizza, but otherwise, 95-98% of a class will name a fruit as their favorite food. One (fat) kid liked chicken, but that was the only solo protein. The rest were fruits or the sparse sprout of noodles or pizza.
