Due to hospital treatment to my throat I have difficulty getting food down, Smash (or whatever it's called now) would be ideal. Anyone seen anything like it here.

Do you mean smoothies?

No these are packets of dehydrated potato which we add boiling water to. Produces non-lumpy mashed potato, ideal for throats that have been bombarded with/by radiation.

Have it in Tops Macgarret or something like that Australian

I've also seen these in a few other places over the years, can't remember where exactly but there was no Tops in Hua Hin until recently and I definitely bought some - Villa I think.

Makro used to sell Smash, not sure if it still does.

It's on Lazada

Lol...I had to laugh ,sorry but I was thinking of other throats that have been bombarded 

I have a dirty mind ....oh never mind !!!

Most of the Expat shops carry the original Smash.

You can also get instant rice porridge from the 7/11.

That's where I got mine. Works when I can't be arsed to peel, boil and smash them all to bits.

Thanks troops, only ever been in one expat shop normally the supermarkets do it for me but this ain't normal times.

Thanks again.

If I would have seen this a few weeks ago, I would have donated my stash of Idahoan that I bring back from the US ever few months, but alas, my larder is now empty.

 

How is Smash compared to Idahoan?

No idea sorry. Like I said previously it is of interest now because radiotherapy treatment to my throat is making it difficult to get food down.

Chemicals vs chemicals, taste wise?

Surely making your own mashed potatoes would be easier.  You can always add extra butter or milk to thin it down and then put it through a sieve to smooth it.

I can promise you that boiled potatoes mixed with butter and milk, then one of those electric mini whisks, best with the blades as shown here, can make almost the same.  (I think I bought years ago in Big C)

 

Good luck

As others have said you can get Smash online.  There are some other brands too.

 

Makro carries McGarrett instant mashed potatoes.

Also Makro has some frozen mashed potatoes, Farm Frites, that are pretty good.

They both seem to be out of stock at the moment though.

Seen McGarrett in Tesco and tops . It doesn't taste too bad for what it is .

Usually use it when can't be bothered peeling and boiling potatoes for a chicken and gravy dinner.

The other day I saw that Villa has Mcgarretts instant mash at 60 baht.

I like that stuff.  Wife bought me some when we were there in July and August this year.

Used to buy in Makro, maybe still can, but my nearest branch did not have last Monday.

That is very expensive, Lazada's cheating sellers again.

Bought some at 7 11 in a pot don't they all do it

I can understand you may not want to be doing this yourself if recently recovering from serious illness and treatment. 

 

Is there anyone to take care of you ?

... Could they 'boil' a load of potatoes' and make real mash en-bulk ?

- Skin & Boil the potatoes

- Mash them with cream (or full fat milk) & butter

- Blend it and push it through a sieve to ensure no lumps.

 

... Freeze some of it, keep some in the fridge, then make it when you are ready ? 

 

The reason I suggest this alternative is 'real mashed potatoe' would not contain the chemicals that 'dried Smash' or their equivalents do. 

 

 

 

Otherwise, as suggested - 

 

Britshop: Smash at 275 baht

Lazada: Varios Mash-powders - varied prices (from 135 baht upwards)

Makro: 100g isntant Mash (51 baht)

Due to the fact that I'm not up to going out, the Mrs isn't up to understanding what I'm  talking about,  that's almost what I'm  doing.
