It's good enough for me.

(UDF United Dairy Farms?)

PS. I'm on a diet, I don't fry anything, butter is just to stick the sandwich bread together.

PPS. When I go mad the UDF butter makes really good toffee.

I understand it is good enough for you, but not for me. Don't call it butter if it ain't butter.

Call me pedantic, but refer to butter in Wikepedia and you'll know why.

So that's margarine blend you smear on your sandwich.:-)

Your're wrong,

They have an entire fridge with butter from local dairies, no labels, cut and packed into blocks by YoK.

Please show a picture, would be nice to know/see which butter you mean. Cheers.

PS: those repacked blocks are from UDF and butter for a price of 130 Baht per kilo is not possible in LOS. But.....I might be wrong.

I always buy YoKs own salted butter 65bht/500gm.

I believe you mean the UDF margarine. I am sorry, but that is not butter. It is a blend of various fats with 12% butter oil.

Butter oil might give it an sense of real butter, but wait till you fry meat in it or just an ordinary egg. No real butter smell. Butter is produced from 100% dairy cream, contains about 80% fat and 20% water. It's dairy, not palm fat.

And for that price real butter? No way. Yok also has 'Century House' butter. Not as good as Elle&Vire but much more affordable price of 250 Baht per kilo.

The devolution of the applied illusion of  "democracy" is underway.

And that is  not exclusive to the USA.

Those that have used and have held  sway

In  determining  the script of  international play

In interest of that  lure of false  mon-ay

The "supreme" Corporate  model  has  had a very short day

In not too long the "numbers" will have their say

In that chaos for humanitay

 

end

 

I could add but it would bring me to tears.

I have  children,  grandchildren.

Humans are a self destructive  animal.

 Goodbye.

I am as dumb as I come. What exactly did you try to say in that poem.

Lots of vegan options in Thai restaurants. Pad pak bung and pad pak rua mit are 2 of my favourite dishes.

Nah, not really Thai food. To much veggies in it. LOL

I did my share of unwinding in Chiang Mai. Hardly fart anymore these days.

What is the definition of healthy?

I thought that the air pollution in Chiang Mai sometimes is so bad that health warnings are given.
Never mind....just go to the gym or one of the green spaces and all will be well.

Sent from my SM-C710F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app
 

Healthy in the survey's opinion is when you are a vegan, take a walk in some of the parks when the air is polluted 6 out of 12 in Chiang Mai and you be nice now and do your gym, Pilatus and yoga stuff.

I think this is a lot of bs narrow minded thinking. My thoughts for a bottle of Benmore.

reading the various ingredients mixed with flour and call it "bread" after heating it up in a "machine" must be a serious criminal offense in civilised countries.

 

Please explain as I don't catch your drift here. Maybe my ignorance.

Candied orange peel and raisin.

Hahne Crunchy Fruit Muesli

Toasted flax and chia seed 

Don't forget it is also about what you put ON your bread.

Some nice cooked ham?...I don't need nothing more than real butter on my simple made bread, butter like ElleVire.

Maybe not available everywhere, but at Yok Chiang Mai it is. Not cheap, but better than all that Allowrie and other crap.

I've tried many different kinds of extra ingredients; curry powder, chili, chocolate ovaltine, fresh chopped onions and tomatoes (sun dried is better, but unless you do it yourself they're outrageously expensive here), garlic, oregano (dried), chopped fresh mint, etc..... Almost every loaf I make is different - some end up much better than others.... but they all get eaten. 

 

Can anybody else recommend their own favourites..?     

You are the baker man!

Because white is not a colour.

White is all colours combined. Black is no colour, so it needs specification LOL

I am white, I am all colours of the rainbow. Come and get me.

Can I actually bee seen at daylight?

So why do some recipes specify white or brown sugar or even honey, if the yeast eats it?

You might use brown sugar in whole wheat bread for a deeper flavor and a deeper color. So is the case as well with honey. It's about preference. Make a WW bread with white sugar, please do so. Honey in white bread is also a nice flavor and it doesn't change color that much. Brown sugar in white bread does though. It's actually common sense and as far as extra ingredients, you are your own master. Make all sorts of combinations as you want. There are only a couple of religions. Hydration is one of them, salt and yeast too.

Thanks. Next question, if the yeast eats the sugar does it make any difference what type we use? Also, what happens if we replace sugar with honey?

This time you didn't read my post well ????

I wrote In fact all kinds of sugars, direct or indirect. So honey as well.

I asked “does yeast NOT eat brown sugar”, you said ‘yes’. 

Sorry, you are right. Didn't read that all to well.

Yes, yeast does eat brown sugar. In fact all kinds of sugars, direct or indirect.

Like in a sour dough starter, yeast lives of the flour.

Next questions... seeds? Grind them and or soak them prior? And brown or white sugar?

White loaf - white sugar.

Don't soak flex seeds. Other depend on how hard they remain after baking. Trial.... Never grind if only you hate the whole seeds.

Tops at Kad Suan Kaew is now offering a 'Green Line' at the check-outs. Bring your own bags Only. Tends to be much shorter line than the others.

Yesterday at BigC; put my canvas bag on the counter and said 'toong' just to be sure that they would recognize it. While I was reaching for my wallet, the guy had already popped up a couple of plastic bags and was almost finished stuffing them up. Now I ask you, it's not my task to educate the Thai right? So let them have their 'evolution' period. Seems nowadays it's supposed to become a do or die situation. Never gonna happen in Thailand.
