They should make artisan mozzarella-di-buffala in Thailand, enough water buffaloes.

But are there enough customers?

5 or 6 years ago I used to make sausages at home but I only got about 10 customers and only 2 of them were repeat customers.

 

Depending on where you live you need to make and sell 3 or 400 pizzas a day, every day to make a living at it, unless your customers come to you. Delivery to your customers will cost you extra, and you will need to keep a constant quality.

 

Initially, depending on your quality, you will get customers which you need. The problem is getting and keeping repeat customers, especially when people are cutting back on their spending.

 

If you spend out on a proper pizza oven and all the associated bits and pieces and your business does fail, you will probably find that all the pizza gear you bought for your business is only good for making pizza.

 

Another problem can be "concerned netizens" complaining about farangs working without a work permit, so even though the business is yours, without a work permit you may not even be allowed to even move a pizza paddle in your own business.

I have just sliced up 2.5 kg of dry cured honey and mustard bacon. I managed to get 44 slices of about 58g on average and put in 2 slices per bag.

 

I think that my Mk 1 eyeball may need recalibrating, but the good news for me is that there are no bits of fresh finger in amongst the bacon. They are rindless and my wife snaffled the skin to make Thai pork scratchings.

 

My next plan is to get some more pork and make some pork pies, and some sausages so that I can have a traditional Sunday lunch of homemade sausage and bacon plus fried eggs and fried bread.
