Having lived in Thailand for 10 years, and as much as I love the food here, every now and then I yearn for some of my native dishes.

 

I am from the UK and love the traditional food.

 

The last thing I cooked here was 3 days ago when i made homemade beef stew and crusty dumplings. I usually make around 5KG and freeze it in portions to eat over a few weeks.

 

Before that I made a giant pork pie and a few dozen jam tarts to have with my mug of tea in the early evening.

 

What are your favourite home country delights that you enjoy to make and what was the last thing you cooked?

 

I know this isn't totally Thailand related, but I am asking as a matter of interest for the community of foreigners living in Thailand.

Last night it was a Bacon Explosion sliced  and put on a hamburger bun with fried egg, tomato, lettuce, pineapple fried onion and beetroot.

Never eaten Thai Food in 25 years. Awful chemical Gunge.

I ate it once and then spent the next 24hrs on the toilet, never again.

yesterday I cooked mutton with garlic and beans.
I also made lemon meringue pie.
Yes, yes, sheep are expensive, but you have to know how to have fun from time to time.
Ah! Also, cheese, but he, I did not cook.

Liver and bacon in onion gravy with peas and mashed potato. Even the wife thought it very tasty.

 

Her preferred mid day meal is an English breakfast ?? Has Thai breakfast with her mother at 7.30 but gets hungry around for falang food around 12.30.

I see.  Whatever turns you on I suppose. 

Just made myself an English Muffin with an Egg, a Sausage patty, and then Cheese on it, made myself a hash brown as well, nice breakfast with a glass of fresh squeezed Orange juice.  Making a pot of Chili beans for later tonight to have with my Hot dogs, aka "Chili Dogs".  Make Spaghetti sauce and then portion it out to use as needed.

First, asking people what they are cooking and at the same time telling that you are making amounts of 5 kg for freezing is like killing a good dish. As soon as you freeze the food and re-heat it or if it´s just pre-cooked it will loose it´s natural flavors and freshness.

However, the last dish I cooked was yesterday evening for my wife and 8 year old daughter. It was scallop ceviche with freshly baked pan riche and a colorful lime/mint sallad.

Quiet often I do a big cook up to fill the freezer for week day meals due to no desire to cook after a long hard day at work, they are just as tasty as the day the y went into the freezer !!

Cracked'n'Stirred an Egg into a Mug - then microwave 60secs

 

uWave warmed a white bun...

finger compress/hollowed the soft insides,

and popped the egg into the cavity...

(better than a maccas Egg McMuffin) 

 

 

I cook western food a couple of times a week.  Usually a meat, chicken or fish, oven baked, or fish, with vegetables, roast or baked potato. maybe a cheese sauce. Sometimes a chicken casserole, or Italian food.  It's hardly difficult and absolutely no need to miss any food from "home". 

yeah the big difference that is a farang made bulk meal;

 - portioning straight into the freezer for surviving the next few days/weeks

 

the non falang way, being to; leave it all open on the table for the next day - or everyone forced to eat the whole multimeal feast, there and then, inn one foul swoop! 

What's  cooking?????

 

 

 

kenk24, 

 

"isn't it" said the sheep

Last night i cooked a Spanish omlette, friday pizza, as i do most of the cooking, i try to make as much variety as i can in what we eat.

Thursday i cooked gen kiel wan, just to keep the wife happy.

At least you make me laugh! ???? I guess your pallet is not so sensitive.

Smothered Chicken 

My Thai wife and our son both love macaroni and cheese. I will add some chopped bacon and sausage into the mix. Comfort food.

 

I also made grilled-cheese sandwiches using a sharp cheddar cheese, some sliced ham and some pickles with a bowl of Campbell’s tomato soup. Very nice. 

 

 

Probably bread or pork pies. Since I changed my diet to Keto, no more wheat flour, and feeling a lot better, off blood pressure and cholesterol meds and down to a healthy weight.
