What Foodie Things Are You Really Missing?

[WaiWai]

Cheddar, roast beef and yorkshire puddings are available are available all over Pattaya....and cheap wine too. Where are you?

Pokoal2000 is probably in Thailand .

[mrtoad]

Proper Cornish Pasties - W.C Rowe

Saffron Cake - W.C. Rowe

Cornish Clotted Cream - Rodda's

Hogs Pudding - That's the white pudding.

Heva Cake

Decent Fish and Chips with either mushy peas or curry sauce.

Chicken Curry - from a chinese takeaway in the UK. Beleive it or not, when Chinese friends from S'pore have visited the UK in the past they always want a curry from the chinese as they reckon theer is nothing like it anywhere in Asia

Monster Munch Pickled Onion, Walkers Salt and Vinegar crisps.

Galaxy Chocolate, cheese (at an affordable price).

A bottle of cachaça , can't seem to find it anywhere so if anyone knows that would be great.

Monster Munch Pickled Onion

You've nailed it on the head Mr. Toad, although I guess I could settle for a Bag of 'Space Invaders' onion flavour.....crackin'

emperor_tud, thanks with appreciation.

I'll try to give 'Oishi' a call to scout whether they have Alaska king crab legs in season. If they have in stock while I'm in BK, then lucky me.

I miss a good camembert cheese, that kind you have to eat at once before it escapes.

And a good (affordable) bottle of chilled rosé to drink with (home made) pizzas or salads.

I am French ...

[Austhaied]

Nothing whatsoever. We can get everything we need in Chiangmai.

Quote NR "BTW, do you put whisky on your haggis?"

Hate to waste good whisky NR.

Crudy21 you've just given me a craving for heinz steamed puddings, B*****d can't get it here. Ah well another trip into BKK needed.

[Ulysses G.]

Nothing whatsoever. We can get everything we need in Chiangmai.

Even pretty good Mexican at Miguel's California Cafe!

[SamuiJens]

i miss artichokes, alaskan king crab legs with butter, pies (especially strawberry), real eclairs, guacamole and tortilla chips (well, just about any mexican food)

Ya, artichokes, and tex-mex food and Tapioca pudding for dessert!

[Jingthing]

American food freak who misses so many things:

Ethiopian food

Mexican cooked by a Mexican

Chinese Chinese food (not American Chinese food and not Thai Chinese food), especially some of the regional variations, particularly clay pot casseroles

Good Viet Pho! and bun noodle bowls (the Pho here is crap)

Cheap quality beef

Caribbean cuisine (Cuban, Dominican)

Peruvian cuisine

Gourmet Indian lunch buffets for under 300 baht

I could go on but I have to go eat something now ...

What no American food? The funny thing is the first time I ever tried Buffalo Chicken Wings was in Thailand. Never tried them in the US. And I like them at some places here, especially with "suicide' sauce.
