Vegie breakfast... might as well ask zero alcohol beer too.

Bubble and squeak, for the uninitiated.

Too fussy by half, get tucked in mate, a starving Biafran kid'd love that. Oops, wrong decade, wrong century.

Did he ask for bubble and squeak or boxty or cullcanon? I think the complainant is an ill spirited ingrate .Logically he got what he asked for. I feel really  sorry for the Thais who have to deal with such arrogant travellers.

Named for the noise it makes whilst cooking actually.

Apart from the NZ of the 50s & 60s, I've never eaten worse food all my life than can be found in the UK, even today ...

 

Though, on second thoughts, Usofa does provide some competition.

Heyzeus....that looks rough.  No wonder most Thais bolt when offered farang food.

Actually in the UK vegetarian sausages, bacon and rather bizarrely black pudding are all available, so a cooked breakfast with no meat is perfectly feasible.

What a load of cobblers. You can get ANY type of food, ethnicity, veggie, whatever you want, almost anywhere in UK.

It isn’t known exactly where this offending breakfast was concocted but it is believed to be somewhere in the Yasothorn area of Thailand.

Somewhere in Yasothon province, the poorest province in Thailand/Isaan.

As far from farang gourmet customs as can be.

What a cheap stupido to make an internet s.storm from his veggie breakfast desire.

LOL...a storm in a teacup, did he get breakfast tea? or Milo ? LOL

I have seen some truly amazing attempts around Thailand of either American or English breakfasts, mostly inedible, but as a lot of posters have pointed out they were probably trying their best to meet his requirements and you have to learn to adapt. I have never understood the Thais ability to eat cold fried eggs, you have to admire that and that runny rice dish is best left to those that have gone fully native, its a personal thing but the mere thought of it has me running for toast...

The egg in pan is my alternative up T'north or egg on toast having given up on boiled eggs as a lost cause. But he asked for and got a veggie breakfast in it's purest form, so I don't know what he's whinging about.

He's not just whinging he's maligning people's well intentioned,good hearted efforts to accommodate his needs for his weird request. A disgrace. He should be ashamed.

A vile complaint aimed at decent people trying to be kind . Dreadful. It has also bought the Breakfast Club into disrepute. They deserve legal action for this. The complainant seems a supercillious,  shallow and inexperienced traveller.  With all the the traits of arrogant superiority of some vegan and vegetarian. Both, arguably, are just socially sanctioned eating disorders.  The Breakfast Club should remove this review and ban the contributer. Not a reasonable meal request and cultural contempt for the kind Thais who did their best. How much Thai does the moaner speak? Is he a yank? Do the restaurant know they can take legal action against him and the Breakfast Club which seems to have lost its way. Where is the right of reply offered to the kinds hosts who tried to accommodate this guys request for ' a western vegatarian breakfast'.

Minus the toast it's actually a grouse Atkins meal.

Maybe he should pop over to the UK then for a perfectly feasible cooked vegetarian breakfast instead of rural Thailand perhaps?

Ahh yes, 'those pesky thais' don't know how to cook farang' food.

Anything else to moan about?

Nah!  Just puts me off ever asking for a vegetarian breakfast.  Does't look that bad as they had no idea what he expected or how he intended it to be cooked.  Not delicious looking but it would be edible.  A bit of vegetarian marge for the toast and a sachet of marmalade & a Thai 3-in-one coffee and his day was set up well.

 

   Try ordering Joh or Kow Tom for brekkie in Liverpool or New York, let alone Tennessee or South Dakota.  I have seen much worse.   Stop moaning.  He got what he asked for. 

I agree; I wonder what they charged him? Maybe Bt 50 ? So if that - or a similar charge - I'd say he made out pretty well. This "ain't" UK/USA.  

 

I would love to find a U.S. style smorgesbourg in Khonkaen however..... miss that and breakfast smorgasbord was fantastic.

 

Once I asked a street vendor if she could cook me two poached eggs. My wife explained it to her and asked if she would put them on rice, b/c of course she didn't have bread. It was great.

Looks like Smarties Bar in Ban Chang except that the portions are smaller.
