Rice Bran. DO NOT use coconut oil as it solidifies in the fridge.

Where the f... do I buy that ?

[BarraMarra]

Same as cheap Scampii whats left cover it in Batter and call it Scampi. Scampi is made from Prawns langoustine or small Lobster that's why it's expensive.

And Hot Dogs are not any better.  Processing these imitation crab sticks etc...is just that it's Processing. Nothing original in them...

Nothing wrong with hot dogs. I've seen how they're made.

 

Which part of the process is supposed to outrage me?

From which part of the pig do hot dogs come?

Nice, so it is a common product then.

 

When I read your reply I thought it was some wanky "im a vegan" oil sold only in boutique "im a vegan" shops on the shelf next to the lawn clippings.

Yes it is a common product, but Thais prefer soy or palm oil..

The 'new PMs' father had a company producing it.

Actually this looks exactly how I imagined it, no surprise.

What did you think how these are made?

 

Absolutely.

If anyone REALLY wants to be put off their food, watch how they make sausages.

 

[KhunLA]

With one exception, we make our own sausages, and really too easy.

 

Aside from that 1 spicy sausage, only 'processed' food we don't make, is hotdogs or spicy bologna, as simply too difficult.  Really don't eat that much of either.

 

An occasional double pork burger rom 7-11.

 

Retired, and more time than we know what to do with, so plenty of time to source & make ourselves.

 

Any processed foods we do eat, read the ingredients and opt for the better version.

Most of them are made from mrm Turkey.

[RanongCat]

"Crab Stick" has been made same process in many places in tworld since decades. It is other  foods that have been plasticised to  look for. In French fries has no word in to say is only potato. Chicken/fish nuggets? You want to know real?

There are people laugh at Thai who eat bugs.  But they know what they eat really !

[Skeptic7]

Never ate sealife ever. Lovely creatures living, but smell abhorrent dead...cooked or not. Total gagfest whenever anyone or any place cooks it. Airlines should ban it as the stink is unbearable. ????

Who didn't know not to eat this fake crab?

You better not read the labels of the items in you food cabinet containing 'natural flavoring', unless you want to be on a diet.

Fresh fish shouldn't smell 'fishy' ... avoid if it does.

 

I guess you don't live in TH, as fish sauce is used quite often.

That's normal in a food processing manufacturing factory

Might give that a go, what oil do you use ?

Rice Bran. DO NOT use coconut oil as it solidifies in the fridge.

"Rice bran oil: This is produced from the outer brown layer of rice, known as the rice husk. Rice bran oil is highly refined and although there are some studies that suggest it provides health benefits, its ratio of polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acids to omega 3 fats is 20:1, which is enough of a reason alone to avoid it. At most, omega 6 fatty acids should be at a 4:1 ratio with omega 3 (1:1 is optimal). As high levels of omega 6 fatty acids are highly inflammatory and can have huge implications on your long-term health, I suggest rice bran oil is one you avoid."

Som tum Thai - tasty, never smells fishy, although I add my own cayenne to it.

 

There's more than 1 variation of Som tum.

555...33 years vegan and closing in on 30 years in Thailand. Also grew up in Florida. Was definitely an outlier among family and friends at meal time, as they all loved sealife and I never touched it. To each their own. 

 

Fresh or not...it always smells foul to me. NO exceptions.

One reason I loved FL & Keys as my playground, fresh seafood.  Have a dive buddy, same thinking, all fish smells. 

 

All out for dinner, and I ordered a nice grilled blackened tuna and he was amazed it didn't smell like a can of tuna.

 

Still wouldn't sample it though ... ????  Damn it as tasty

In the '90s I went back to school and got to dead-head on Long Beach cattle boat once a week, all I ate was fresh fish...

 

Back in the '60s, anytime we caught a bunch of Bonita my mom would can it. The only tuna I ate until I left home came from a Mason jar...

Nope no shares, I do believe a (any) company has every right to make a profit though.

Hear, hear!   There's no other reason for a commercial company to exist.
