Hearty, Delicious, & Nutritious Food

HOOSIER THAI continued from 65 pumpkin, pineapple, carrots, onions, mushrooms, corn cooked in a creamy coconut milk sauce flavored with yellow curry powder, bell peppers, and basil.
The chef’ s special menu also includes pineapple curry(“ Gang Khua Sup Bah Rod”) with shrimp and chicken; Bancock seafood, mango curry, chicken and shrimp, and Pad Emperors, a delicious combination dish with beef, pork, chicken, shrimp and calamari, stir fried with onions, carrots, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, corn, and bell peppers.
We didn’ t even make it as far as the Thai noodle soup menu, which proffers pork noodle, duck noodle, and beef noodle soup, with meat balls. Also Khao Soi( curry noodles), traditional northern style egg noodles served with a special coconut curry, bean sprouts and cilantro with crispy egg noodles and lime on top.
The service was excellent, the food top-notch, and we can’ t wait to go again. I’ m determined to try everything on the menu, but Mrs. Sampler said,“ If I went there tomorrow, I’ d have the exact same thing.”
As you may know, I have a bit of a problem— I always end up wanting what the other fellow has ordered. In this case, after I had happily received the food that I had ordered, the patron seated next to me was brought their choice— a spectacular“ pineapple boat”— a whole pineapple hollowed out and stuffed with shrimp and fried rice.
I was so envious that I asked them if I could photograph that beauty. Entirely for your further edification, mind you.
Stuffed to the gills and suffused with a feeling of goodwill toward all mankind, we made our way up the stairway, into the spring light of an early evening downtown Nashville. People were milling around, dodging traffic, the outdoor terrace of the Nashville house was packed with folks having a good time and there was music in the air. And we were profoundly satisfied.
