Our International Menu

The international menu at Milford’s Corner is a little different than one finds elsewhere around town. I cannot exactly say why except to say that it may have something to do with the fact that I am a foodie.

 I like food!! Not simply in the sense of consumption, although that is a quintessential part of it, but in the sense of loving the nature of food, almost in the sense of a Platonic inquiry.  Adding to that predilection, I have also traveled around the world a fair bit and tend to focus on food as a window to the culture of where I happen to be at any particular point in time. Putting these inclinations together, one winds up with a person who uses food to actually express ideas as would a writer or artist or musician.

At this point, it is important to say that the international menu is only a portion of the offerings available at Milford’s Corner. Indeed, the bulk of the menu is Thai – and very good Thai food at that. Unfortunately, we have not yet translated the Thai menu but, fear not, all will be revealed in the fullness of time.

As for the international menu, it is heavily weighted toward Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food with a smattering of north European, American and Latino influences. Menu concepts have also been influenced by what I call “la cocina povera”. More on that concept in another blog post.

In building the menu and selecting dishes for inclusion I have tried to use, to the maximum extent possible, local ingredients which tend to be both fresh and less expensive than imported goods. This makes it possible to offer first quality dishes at a reasonable price.

All in all, while not extensive, our international menu offers a wide variety of tastes and culinary experiences. When combined with our Friday specials, barbeque Saturdays and the fact that we are still evolving, Milford’s Corner is truly an adventure in food and a must stop on anyone’s itinerary in Nongkhai.
