JackGats Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I used to buy tins of baked beans until I noticed they contained added sugar. Added salt I understand but added sugar? This sugar epidemics is something I'd like governments to crack down on globally. It's killing more people than all the illegal drugs put together. Is lack of demand the problem with lacking (or expensive) farang food in TH? Or are punishing custom duties to blame? Farang food has become rarer in breakfasts all over TH. My regular hotel in Pattaya has a buffet breakfast priced at 300 Baht. In the breakfast hall bacon is advertised for 80 Baht extra. So there you are, if you want bacon you need to pay extra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP Not a fan of the Ayam baked beans & often struggle to find Heinz BBs so I've switched to Watties which are a great substitute & can be found in most supermarkets. Plenty of Heinz BB in Pattaya but expensive- cross and Blackwell are a hood alternative 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuketshrew Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I shop in Big C Don Chan. They always have the Ayam beans you are looking for - large and small cans. Bought two large cans this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not improved much then. I only ever tried them once, placed the order ok and then they rung up and said the driver wouldn't deliver to Chonburi because of covid. Will carry on making the journey to Pattaya. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 What is a 'further rejection of falang food'? What does it mean? Foreign food imports are increasing surely? Here in Pattaya we have several new Foreign food, expats shops supplies and provisions giving a greater choice than ever before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the issue is getting g your hands on a tin then making them would be a better deal. However, I understand some folks don't have the ability to cook.

However, I understand some folks don't have the ability to cook. Some people can afford to buy tinned beans and having prepared my own baked beans many times its quite a hassle and can never be the same as Heinz. Bean based dishes from the Balkans, North Africa and Turkey are excellent and use the same white bean. Actually I rarely bother with tinned beans either here or at home-about once a month - it's pleb food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sugar epidemics is something I'd like governments to crack down on globally. It's killing more people than all the illegal drugs put together. There is scarcely any packaged foodstuff in Thailand that does not have sugar in it. I am accustomed to reading น้ำตาล on all the labels. I recently bought some tinned coffee that was labelled "less sugar", it was actually sweeter than the brand I normally drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00dle Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 There is a sht ton of imported items that have disappeared from the shelves in the last year, Villa is a shadow of its former self, something new goes missing every day. Motts V8 comes to mind, their imported chocolate selection is dire, canned soups have been reduced to one variety. Things like consome and french onion are a thing of the past Things i have purchased for years are simply gone. and nothing new seems to be popping up in their place. The supply chain is well and truly erratic, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an integral part of the recipe and even contributes to their colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybole Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 and this afternoon found a good selection in Rimping Mae Hia. It appears to be a Makro and/or Big C supply problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I went to their place to collect it it would be about a 1,000km return trip and SWBO would be the driver, plus at least 1 overnight stay. In my case it is cheaper to get them to ship it because at 77, even with SWBO driving both of us would be trashed the day after we got back. She wouldn't let me drive it on my own and quite rightly so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubascuba3 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 In Pattaya you can get tins for 45 baht at the expat shops, some shops selling them for 80+ are having a laugh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The five nearest Tescos and the one Big C ..........zilch. Using butter which costs about the same but more difficult to spread from the fridge.

transam Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Makro do a range of Italian tinned stuff, problem is all the varieties are in the same coloured tins, but if you look they do baked beans, I buy them, they are OK, I think 39 bht a tin... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
