The Oracle Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 We still going on about strawberries as a sign of economic health? Bought this 600g punnet half an hour ago from the local morning market. Eighty baht. Taste the same as the ones I used to eat from my backyard in Australia. There were punnets of "jumbo" ones but, even though they might be sweeter, they looked a tad over-ripe and not last long in the fridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is no news at all so it's none. The good news is everywhere is selling Cavendish bananas this year (30-35bht a bunch). I've been eating loads!

Overprocessed flavoured muck IMO, but I've lived a very long time on it. I doubt food in Thailand is worse for me. I certainly never suffered for it. I've recently rediscovered tinned tuna in soi oil (45bht/tin). Takes me back to my UK childhood where mum always made me tuna sandwiches for tea. 1 tin is good for 3-4 meals, and my son enjoys the sandwiches too, just had one for breakfast.

Mix it with mayonnaise, capers, onions and put it between 2 slices of the phantastique Baguette they make (like the real thing) in Big C Extra. 1 Baguette good for 1.5 meals (my size) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I was in Chiang Mai and the time before that the last two years, they openly served alchohol in bars, and almost every other place I have visited in Thailand from north to south and east to west in the main cities and tourist places.

But strawberries in Thailand are just not what strawberries are supposed to be. Where in Thailand can you get strawberries like this? On Sukhumvit between Nana and Asoke. The ones who were selling " sex toys" before went for the "healthy" option now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go regularly to Klong Toey fresh market, which is, as far as I know, one of the biggest markets in Bangkok. They have strawberries but mostly they are half white... That's called "emancipation". All ladies want to be white. Why can't strawberries have the right to be "white" as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
