In the Makro that I use, the ready minced pork is not as good quality as the pork that my wife orders from the pork lady.
 
She can order it up to about 7 pm and it is delivered to the house the next morning by 6:30. She also orders a whole leg of pork that I use some for roasting and I the make my own honey and mustard ham, using Coleman's English mustard powder and Thai honey. 

Stop it pleeeeese!!![emoji2]

I am partial to the loaf type pies as opposed to the round ones. I am fortunate that a friend makes them for me on occasion as I am not a great fan of Lady Pie products. I see it as one of my 'treats'. There is a place in Phuket that does nice kippers as well.

 

For those who find Colman's goes off buy it or the McGarrett powder in a tin and make it on an as need basis. I would be tempted to put the tin in an airtight bag once opened as it can go off in time. Mcgarrett also do a wasabi powder.

 

I have a very large tin of Coleman's and after I use it I always sellotape the lid back on to stop air getting in. It seems to work for me so far.

The main difficulty I found here is obtaining the lard.

I buy pork fat from makro, cut it into 1" pieces and render it down overnight in a slow cooker. Let it cool a little, pass it through a metal sieve into jars then refrigerate - keeps in the fridge for months.

Yes, that's true. I do try to pick bits of mince that have the least fat in them and it seems to work OK for me. I do the same thing for paté.

Yes, I tried that once. My condo smelt of pig for a week (and it wasnt just me)!

 

Certainly a suitable option for anyone with a ventilated cooking area though.

None available in Phuket at the moment I think all you guys have bought them all,

My wife knows I like them and she said none in Tops or Villa market or Macro

My wife cooks it outside, in a wok on a small burner.

 

She also has a catapult and some clay rounds ready for the odd wandering dog who get nosy over the smell.

For anyone still interested, Siamburys in Pattaya has lard and beef dripping.

Cold pork pies and warm beer. That says it all w.r.to British taste buds. Permanently anesthetised from birth.

Obviously spoken by someone who has never had a decent pint in its life.  A Gnat's-pee addict!

I eat really great pork pies.

 

How do I know that they are great?

 

Because I make them myself and I know what goes into them.

What's a Bogan?

Don't mind the long ones either, with the egg inside.

I made a couple of them in December for a party. 1 got eaten and I sliced and froze the other 1.

 

When I defrosted the slices, the meat and crust was OK but the defrosted egg was horrible.

To whom should I donate it?

 

I didn't see the guys from the party for 3 weeks, and there is only me at home to eat it and I am not going to throw it away.
