Paragraph 5

According to the Tourism Authority of
Thailand, neither mango nor sticky rice is native
to Thailand.

Mangoes are native to Myanmar and
India, and sticky rice is commonly eaten in Laos,
which shares a border with Thailand.

This suggests
that the roots of the dish are probably a result of the mixing of
cultures in Southeast Asia.

Rice is usually thought of as a food
that is eaten as a meal, but its use as a dessert shows how
simple ingredients can create innovative, wonderful treats.
