No, the picture to which you linked in a MODERN western style grill. It has NOTHING to do with TRADITION. The fact that you were, in your mind, referring to exactly that type of grill, means precisely nothing in this context. We were discussing BBQ in Thailand and TRADITIONAL BBQ is everywhere. American style BBQ is not. So if you knew everything I wrote already when you were a teenager, then why were you trying to convince us that your photo of a modern US style of barbecue equipment was traditional? It is not. It's literally an expensive adaptation of the modified oil drums they would use for barbecuing in the Caribbean. So if you wanted to claim tradition, you would have posted a picture of an oil drum BBQ.

Seriously dude, drop it. There is nothing traditional about that piece of equipment. You are just, shall we say, immersed in a particular way of doing things, so you cannot recognise any other way. The Thai way, is traditional. Barbecue originated from the Taíno people of the Caribbean (inhabitants of modern-day Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Cuba), who used a raised wooden rack called a barbacoa to slow-cook meat and fish over a smoky fire. This indigenous, pre-Hispanic cooking technique was adopted by Spanish colonists in the early 16th century, forming the foundation of modern barbecue. Key Aspects of Taino Barbacoa The Structure: The barbacoa was a wooden framework or grate made of green wood to prevent burning, positioned over a low fire to smoke and roast food. Methodology: This allowed for slow-cooking, providing both a preservation method and a smoky flavor. Origin of the Word: The term stems from the Taíno word barabicu, meaning "sacred fire pit" or "wooden frame". Adoption: Spanish explorer Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés is credited with first using the term in print in 1526. Cultural Context: The Tainos used this method to cook various meats and fish. While the term evolved, the core concept of cooking over indirect heat or a raised structure remains a direct descendant of the original Taino tradition.

Again, you are totally wrong. BBQ grills, traditional kind?? What is that? Can you show me a 'traditional' BBQ grill? You are so caught up in your own vision of things that you cannot see the forest, but for the trees. A traditional BBQ can be a earthen pit or a vase or... You appear to imagine everything evolves around a USA standard. Why on earth would you expect to see a Thai BBQ grilling a hamburger? 😂

The cheaper cuts go into similar(and different) foods around the world too. People somehow cope without "having the best beef worldwide". Not everyone wants to eat like someone from the USA. In western countries, chicken breast is treated like a delicacy. But in Thailand, it's one of the cheapest cuts. The most expensive parts are usually attached to a bone. Far tastier. So expensive beef for steak is not often a requirement. Personally have little interest in eating steak, expensive or otherwise. So much to enjoy without having to think about what I'm missing. Though on the other hand, I have an ample supply of imported products that won't likely be available to someone who lives upcountry. So your outlook may be different.

Again, that IS to what I am referring. Traditional barbecue grills. At my local Mu Khrata, they all have wood/charcoal grills, in addition to the hotplate/soup utensils. All for personal use. Those who don't wish to pay for a personal BBQ grill, can get up to use the larger traditional communal BBQ grill.

Perhaps your girlfriend doesn't know what to choose nor how to prepare it. For me, it's good for my needs. You would have no idea as to whether it was cheap or not for when it comes to eating. Obviously the experience with your girlfriend may be quite different. I haven't tried her food. I agree for when it comes to grilling. I use slow cooking methods for the inexpensive beef. Usually beef is hung in so the fibres begin to break down, making it more tender for the eating. You can achieve good results by selecting the right pieces and treating them properly. Not to say that there is no place for more expensive cuts. If you want to have a lightly cooked dish, you'll need to start with tender beef.

Mu Khrata is real barbecue 😊 At local places they have a big grill for people to cook their seafood and also offer personal grills. That is barbecue. It doesn't change because different styles have evolved around the world. There's a mobile cart in the area that bakes chicken and pork in a big vase. That's similar to the American style. He's been going for at least twenty years. I have barbecue parties regularly. Ribs, chickens, different marinades. So no, that's just how it appears in your world. In reality, there is a wide range of barbecuing in Thailand. Barbecue (often shortened to BBQ) is a versatile cooking method, a cuisine style, and a social gathering, centered on cooking food—primarily meat—using live fire, smoke, or heat

What a strange comment...that they barbecue here like the do back home(besides the little ones for meatballs, squid, chicken and such to sell) 😊 Perhaps not where you live. They love barbecue and cooking on open fire. It goes together. Have you not observed the sheer number of Mu Khrata type restaurants that exist? They bake in huge jars.. Barbecue with different types of wood. What is different?

Your figures are completely inaccurate and your rhetoric off base. Beef is around 200 baht per kg at the wet markets. 235 baht at Go Wholesale. I use it for curries, casseroles and braised beef dishes.

What are you talking? She CHOSE them.

Didn't anyone ever tell you that self praise is no praise at all? The mere fact that you write that it "doesn't make you better than anyone else"...tells everyone that you think that you are better than everyone else. You alluded to it four times in that short post. 😊

When did they become foes? They were best friends at one time. Your constant spinning of the facts just makes you seem weird. Why not just speak the truth and let the cards fall as they should? They had a falling out in 2004. Prior to that, they were close.

No, @CallumWK r 35 baht sans egg. 45 with a fried egg. It's also 45 baht for a version with duck meat and a fried chicken egg at Pier 21/Terminal 21.

That meal is 45 baht in my local. It used to be 35 a year or so ago. Lots of places the same. Perhaps you are looking in the wrong places.

A sharp knife and chopping board or an automated system to chop up the meat and ingredients, for a start. Casings. Then of course ingredients. I cannot imagine that you would have the patience for it.

What fact? I read an opinion.

I don't care about Biden blah blah...it's not an issue that I'm ignoring, because it's not an issue at all. Surely NOW is what is important. It's only an 'issue' for you, as in your mind, it's political. I don't concern myself with politics.

The senators gave a reasonable windows of three weeks. How long would you think is reasonable? September until now. I just wrote what the whistleblower testified to. Here it is again: Maxwell was receiving preferential treatment that included customized meals brought to her cell, private meetings with visitors (who were permitted to bring in computers), email services through the warden’s office, after-hours use of the prison gym, and access to a puppy (that was being trained as a service dog). I hope that you can see it this time. What are the special circumstances that allow special meals to be regularly available? The training of service dogs may be routine, but she wasn't training one. You earlier asked "Tell us how wonderful it is for her to go to a minimum security co-ed lockup to all all female "camp" lock up." Key Differences: Security Level: FCI Tallahassee is Low Security; FPC Bryan is Minimum Security. Location/Housing: FCI Tallahassee is in Florida and features more restrictive, traditional prison housing. FPC Bryan is in Texas, with dormitory-style housing, often described as a "camp". Environment: FCI Tallahassee has been criticized for poor conditions, including food service issues, while FPC Bryan is focused on rehabilitation and work programs. Population: FCI Tallahassee houses a more diverse, higher-risk population, whereas FPC Bryan mostly houses non-violent offenders. Movement: Inmates at FPC Bryan have more freedom to move within the facility during designated times. FPC Bryan is considered a significantly less restrictive environment compared to the higher security, more regimented setting at FCI Tallahassee. The low-security Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Tallahassee is a female only prison(with an adjacent co-ed detention centre) with fencing. She moved to the minimum security Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan. Little to no fencing. Seems like an upgrade to me. How does it look to you? All for saying that she didn't see Trump do anything in front of her? Let's tackle the things that we know. That he is lying about banning Epstein in 2007 for something we know happened in 2000. He said because it happened again. When did it happen again? In 2007? Why didn't he 'ban' him in 2006 when he spoke to the police chief and why did he single out Maxwell? I'm happy to look at both sides of the coin, so if you have alternative scenarios that make sense, I'm all ears. Do you not have an issue with the glaring inconsistencies?

Nonsensical figures 😊 A Brazil nut has 24 grams of what? If you mean Magnesium, one Brazil nut contains around 18 to 19 mg. That's milligrams.

Your post appears just to be a form of derangement. If Trump is clean, then why go to such lengths to cover his tracks and to lie about it? Do you have a cogent reply to that simple question? Why is he claiming to have banned Epstein from Mar a Lago in 2007, for something that happened in 2000? Secondly, why would he have banned him at all, if it were Maxwell who was recruiting the girls? His story is full of holes, as as yours. Far Left? Who are they? You appear to be ranting like a madman.

The response was that it would take nine months to reply. Senators also filed requests without receiving timely replies. So people are suing to get the information. Smells like a cover up, doesn't it? In November, a whistleblower notified Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee that at Camp Bryan Maxwell was receiving preferential treatment that included customized meals brought to her cell, private meetings with visitors (who were permitted to bring in computers), email services through the warden’s office, after-hours use of the prison gym, and access to a puppy (that was being trained as a service dog). Tell me, as you purport to know all about these things, is this all part of the reclassification process?

Here's your chance to "give it some thought". Do you think a deal was done with Trump's blessing to get her moved? Do you think it a coincidence that it just all happened at the same time? We don't need what seems like the ramblings of a madman, just cogent thinking. So far we have tilting of windmills, Trump obsession....all kinds of weird thoughts, but a strange inability to discuss the topic matter without seeming to lose it. It's not personal you know. We are discussing current affairs. Any chance that you can act like a civil human being whilst we are doing so? So, back to the topic. I've already demonstrated that Trump's story about banning Epstein in 2007 makes no sense at all. Even you, a rabid Trump supporter, can see that. So must we assume that you don't care what he does and that you are with him come hell or high water? You certainly aren't of a neutral opinion. Anyone who merely questions the narrative coming out of that administration is attacked by you as being obsessed, deranged... I don't ever recall such tactics in debates at school nor university. That's because it's your way to try to shut down conversation. You just don't want to have to admit that it stinks to high heaven. To be fair, I don't necessarily believe that he's an actual kiddy fiddler. But the fact is that he was close friends with Epstein and only began to distance himself many years later, after their falling out over Maison de L’Amitié. After which Epstein began to be investigated. Another coincidence I guess. He certainly didn't cut him off in 2000 when he found out about Guiffre and Maxwell. So why do you think that Trump ok'd her move?

Trump hate? So any other view than your own is classified as hate? That seems somewhat deranged, doesn't it? Are there only absolutes and extremes in your world? I don't understand your questions. Why not provide explanations? Explain your perspective. Mine is that is surely is not a coincidence that it happened a week after meeting Todd Blanche. What is yours? Are you suggesting that a deal was not done with Trump's blessing to get her moved? That it just all happened at the same time? Is this me being hateful by the simple act of analysing information? Is the imagined hate merely only existing in your mind and body?

I already told you....crickets. You aren't interested in the truth, are you?

I just did. Todd Blanche is Donald Trump's former criminal attorney in the Stormy Daniels case. That's the Deputy AG...a bit of a joke in itself. Now to your assertion that the Bureau Of Prisons suddenly deciding within a week of Todd Blanche's meeting with Ghislane Maxwell, that she was was transferred to a minimum-security, women-only, federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas, that houses mainly nonviolent offenders and white collar crooks. Furthermore, according to the bureau's designation policy, Maxwell appears ineligible to be housed at a minimum-security prison camp because she is a convicted sex offender. When the transfer was first reported in August, the Bureau of Prisons refused to explain the reason for the move, which Epstein abuse survivors protested. So I filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the BOP asking for information related to this relocation. Specifically: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/01/mother-jones-sues-bureau-of-prisons-ghislaine-maxwell-records-epstein-trump-todd-blanche/ To date, crickets... They aren't backing up your version of events. Their own policy speaks against transferring her to that prison. It seems someone must have used their influence for that to happen.
