'Egg and bacon pie' is what we often had for school dinners in the 1960s. "Not bacon and egg pie AGAIN!!" ???? Whoever would have thought that humble meal would morph into something so posh! 

We had cow's liver, mashed potatoes and swede or turnip......to my recollection......every single day.

There was not much of any merit to be said about the Private school my Bruv. and myself got sent to.

School dinners , mash with bullet peas and fat with gristle on top . So foul my mother told the head witch I was a vegetarian.  Friday was sausage pie beans and chips.  The head witch removed the pie and left me with beans and chips.

Who said school days were the happiest days of your life never ate at Radnor House Redhill.

Since  99% of Thais will not pay that much, they are taking the p!$$ out of the stupid farang who think would pay a ridiculous amount for a slice of egg/beacon/pastry

 

Bit like the some type of special coffee being sold in Sydney for $1,500 AUD a cup. Reports say 2 cups have so far been sold

 

Yes, sheer madness.

 

 

You would be surprised how many Thai shoppers have far greater fiscal liquidity than the average farang 'just looking, thanks' squatter.

How big were the slices?

Yes seriously that is expensive, did you notice where they were imported from?

I don't think they were imported. Probably cooked in their own kitchens. Below is a pic.

Funny thing is both he quiche lorraine and the salmon and leek were the same price. I would have thought the salmon would be more expensive.

I bet about 80-90% of that Hi-so way over priced special deli food in the supermarkets gets binned.....I NEVER see anyone buying it.....

Yes it must have a fairly short shelf life. It's never reduced in the bargain section. Who pays that?

[shackleton]

You pay what you feel is what you can afford and is worth it 

If its a treat enjoy ????

Well if you don't understand that buying anything by the slice is always considerably more expensive than buying a whole product then I guess... yes?

This is Thailand, where when sales drop they increase the price to cover any shortfall. I doubt they would give any discount for buying a whole one.

You could have bought a kilo of imported lamb for that price. 

Not much use for someone who wanted a quiche.

Am I out of touch to be shocked at such a price?

You should have checked to see whether it was imported before being shocked by £6.76 if you're that concerned about a few baht for a non-Thai food item!   Foie gras is a bit pricey per portion here also.

As 99% of Tops customers are Thai, that's not exactly logical.  If Thais didn't pay Tops' prices there wouldn't be a Tops...and there is.

How long do you hang around doing your surveys or do you just walk past the counters and not see anyone there for the five seconds it takes you to pass?  If 90% of it didn't sell, it wouldn't be stocked.

Clearly, if it's never reduced, many customers who can afford it do.

[josephbloggs]

Wow, I just read two pages about the price of quiche. Somewhere my life took a wrong turn....

One slice I would guess is maybe 20% bigger than the Quiche mini pies at Big C Extra for 50-55 baht...

Indeed, I got a taste for crumbles with custard there. Rhubarb or apple.
