take out your phone, price for 1Kg = price / weight in Kg

I can usually do the sums in my head but just saying a turkey costs £75 doesn't tell me what the kilo weight is it a 5kg Turkey or a 10kg or a 15 kg............

Burirampieman. You can Google him.

 

Probably need to pay a bout 60 baht for delivery. Order a few tins to make it worth while.

SPAM ... in the U.K. meat for those who cannot afford meat.

SPAM ... in Thailand luxury food item. ????????

Apparently SPAM is hugely popular in Hawaii, nicknamed 'Hawaiian Steak'.  Even McDs have it on their menu.

 

(Probably, coupled with high prices, another reason not to visit Hawaii)

Foodland two frozen kippers around 500 grams 693 baht. Medium sized Aussie turnip 280 baht. That is 7 bloody quid

I had a bit of a yearning for some hot smoked salmon. Very nice with lightly pickled cucumber and beetroot with a good quality potato salad. Tops will have it, I reckoned, and sure enough they did at Pattaya's Central Festival food hall. Cost was 360 Baht, more than £9 for 1 piece of salmon. After the smelling salts brought me round I decided to take a pass on the salmon.

I have seen tinned corned beef at under 300 Baht a tin and, because of an endearing love for corned beef and piccallili butties, have sometimes yielded to temptation. Plenty of portions to be had from one tin, so can represent value for money.

And how much was the piccallili? 

 

 

Doesn't Yorkies make both Corned Beef and the aforementioned garnish? Well Eileen used to.

My local Best Supermarket stocks Yorkies pies and pasties, bacon and sausages, but not corned beef. BTW, Yorkies pork sausages are excellent, 198 Baht for 8.

Haywards Piccallili was about 130 Baht for a standard jar, lasts me at least 6 months. By comparison, a big bag of Maltesers costs 135 Baht and lasts me half an hour!

You must not be British.  My granny's recipe; make a salty curing brine with a little prague powder with pickling spices like mustard seed, allspice berries, coriander seeds, and peppercorns. Then you marinated a beef brisket in the brine, for 5 to 7 days. Once brined, you remove the brisket from the brine and simmer it in water with more pickling spices for several hours until tender.

That sir is not corned beef, I have an Aussie friend who makes the Aus version of Corned Beef, below is the Corned beef we refer to:

 

 

When I tell the Mrs of extortionate  prices ie 8 quid for a fray bentos pie or 30 quid for 6 Japanese strawberry's plus a million other things she says its because it comes a long way but I don't believe her ????

I can assure you sir that the two are like Chalk & Cheese, absolutely no comparison, may I suggest you buy a tin, chill in the fridge for a few hours, cut some thick slices apply to buttered bread cover with HP or Daddies Brown sauce add the other buttered slice and eat, I think you will agree that the tinned version is superior in every way to that tatty imitation you have posted ???? 

For 345 bht, You can buy a half a kilo of beef brisket at Makros and make your own corned beef.

I had a steak that must have been 200 grams. 960 baht for it made me feel sick.

Gramps told me they did that during the blitz and later I did it on long distance sailboat races but never at home.  We always had corned brisket of beef for dinner and made hash the next morning for breakfast.

Corned beef in a tin was war rations when fresh beef was not available.  No one really eats it unless the Germans are bombing do they?  Or on Nelson's ship during the battle of Trafalgar. 

wouldn't pay that for the equivalent weight of real corned beef let alone that crap in a can..

Then someone posts that a tin full of bovine toe nails, testicles and a@@eholes, mixed with a little meat is superior to home made corned beef brisket. 

 

Must have been mistaken.

I have no problem with your comment, a bit like certain fast food outlets so called "Chicken Nuggets" and the ingredients therein, however having been brought up in the UK in the 50's I appreciate things like "OUR" Corned beef compared to yours, the first time I tried your Corned Beef was maybe only 3 years ago, it has absolutely no comparison to our canned bully beef and as I have previously stated they are like chalk and cheese, I prefer mine to yours, it's as simple as that, and not whether one is a heathen for liking something he was brought up on, remember we still had rationing and as a child I played on bomb sites in the middle of London. unlike you guys from USA, Aus & NZ that were shielded from the actual physicality of the war, Yes I know you lost a lot of sons, brothers & fathers as did we and I remember them each and every day almost. Truce.

That was mainly directed towards our U.S. and Commonwealth members who don't seem to have had the pleasure of a tin of bully beef, hence the ours & yours comment, most of them have never tried it and fob it off as crap ???? At least I have had both so feel qualified to comment. ????

But you were quoting me???

 

I too have tried both. I also remember the scandal of the Argentinian corned beef in the 80s.

 

Most processed, canned meat is crap. Let's face it. As are most supermarket bought sausages and burgers, pies and pasties.
