    I just read on another Thai English language news web site that according to a poll 71% of Thais agree with buying submarines ??? ... What on earth .... Not sure I can post a link to it here ... 

     

    That survey was conducted by the Nation newspaper. Not a rag currently in favor with the pro democracy students but naturally it is the one favored by the Navy.

    Um....That link seems to be from Tesco UK. Bit of a long drive from Petchabun.

     

    Used to have reasonable sausages in Petchabun Makro. Then God saw that I liked them and had them all withdrawn. He's got it in for me for some reason or other. Anything i discover and like soon gets discontinued.

     

    For a month or so my local Big C had the best multigrain unsliced  cottage loaf I have tasted anywhere...UK included. It was big and cost about 170 baht as I remember but a real treat. As soon as it was in stock I would buy 2 at a time and it sold out fast. God saw this and had it discontinued. Big C staff said it was because it was not popular ??!! Impossible since it sold out so fast.

     

    He must have sat on his cloud laughing his head off on that one.

    Not so hard to make homemade jam I guess if I wanted to, but as for OXO cubes and Branston go well it's got to be original, shame my Local Big C doesn't sell any hard cheese... can you believe that?

    Only that Sh*t sliced rubbish.

     

    Wow , that is grim. Our local Big C in an Amper of Petchabun does at least have the solid vintage chedder which is good. ( The solid Tasty stuff is best avoided , not much better than the slices )

    The more fun they are in bed, the worse trouble they are to live with.

    I've always found that to be true.

     

    And sadly , visa versa. Hard to find the Buddhist middle way , maybe with a negotiable percentage to the former would be ok.

     

    Bit like a racing car or bike. If you tweek for speed and acceleration , handling and reliability might suffer.

     

    If you tweek for economy you get a cheap but unexciting ride.

     

    Tough choices for blokes. Several bikes probably best option if you have deep pockets.

    Big chunks or small chunks ?

    Small but they have big. Name of seller is ' food variety '. Pages of foods from the UK.

     

    The Branston was in a 360g jar for 149 baht

     

    Cant post a link because the right click on my mouse is broken. Getting a new one this afternoon.

    Marmalade in Big C here is equivalent to a bar of gold !

    Robbers will be nicking that soon instead of hitting the bling shop !

     

    Try Lazada Thailand.  Just type in Marmalade and plenty of choice delivered to your door. 

     

    I just had some OXO cubes and a jar of Branston Pickle delivered. A little of what you fancy does you good.

    Exactly my point, why a fry-up in Thailand when you can have that at anytime at home, try something different when away ?

     

    But a lot of us are at home here , not on holiday. Sure, if you are only here a few weeks or months then might as well try something else but when you live here full time there comes a day when Pad Grapow with an egg on top is no longer exotic and you fancy something different.

     

    I used to really like Dtom Yam goong soup but made the mistake of ODing on it and now very rarely eat it. Even Thais often avoid spicy food in the morning and will go for something like Khao Dtom or Khao neeo moo ping. Only sort of Thai thing I like in the morning is Patango but have to be carefull not to pig out on them. Not really Thai food but Thais like them

    Come all the way to Thailand and want a full English fry-up.... so sad.

     

     

    As sad as people coming to Thailand and having a Thai dish for breakfast and imagining themselves cool , fully integrated and ethnic and above other people just because of what they do or do not eat.

     

    Food is food ...... there is no kudos involved in it .  Variety is the spice of life.
