Good bread is the most important. And you or your wife have to make it yourselfs.

The rest you can get here. Most of it of course imported, but affordable. Smoked dryed ham: TH, Coppa: TH, cheese: CH, USA, FR, salami (italian hard to get, but french and spanish products available -> chorizo is not what I mean). A soft boiled egg: TH , butter: NZ (pure, not the mixed up stuff that looks somehow like it). Jam homemade. Coffee and juice.

 

Et voila...

Do you realize that 250 baht is about 5.5 pounds or $7.50 dollars? 

 

Did it come with a drink?

 

Free tea and coffee. At 250 Baht for an 'all-you-can-eat' meal with dozens and dozens of freshly-made options (the staff is continually bringing out refills for the various offerings,)  it's one hell of a good deal. Add in the fact that the food is delicious, and it just makes it that much better.

I frequently attend Auf Der Au German buffet breakfast in Chiang Mai (250bht).

Lots of sausages and ham, lots of different dark breads, no fried or scrambled eggs or bacon.

I like the fried fish in breadcrumbs as well.

 

Here's one I ate earlier ........

That's more disgusting than English breakfast.

 

Sorry

So?

Obviously, you can easily afford an ample breakfast. However, when the cost is too much by local standards you are being taken advantage of. That's not proper.

Buffets are all you can eat you do realise that? Thais go to 600 baht buffets.

Ok. I don't eat as much as German's do. I'm also not a big meat eater. I also wear deodorant and long pants to meals so I hope you did that as well. Also, no chang t-shirts or sandals at meals.

A good cheap breafast is pad thai or fried rice. 50 or 60 baht. I often have late breakfast and just fried rice.

The insanity of this board.

 

Fresh, healthy delicious food gets a downvote.

 

No doubt fat and unhappy

You've got absolutely no idea what you're talking about mate. You can't compare proper food, a lot of which is imported or specialties, to a plate of rice and stir-fried mystery meat.

Well done, Susan. You really should be commended for your consistency. This topic’s already racked up nine thumbs down on your original post. I'll bet you're proud of yourself. How do you do it? What’s your secret? Is it a mix of your childish intellect, lack of education, and an uncanny ability to pick the most idiotic subjects imaginable, or is there some special trick you’re using to reel in all the downvotes? Enlighten us all on how you've so beautifully mastered the art of the fail.

Yes, you are correct. Thanks for that. I'm sure there were many people confused by my incorrect use of language.

 

I, too, often help others expand their vocabulary. Here is an example you might enjoy:

Pedantic" is a word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise, especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.” Credit to Merriam-Webster.

Nothing beats a proper English breakfast.

Best in the world.

Whatever anyone likes is the best breakfast. English breakfast isn't too healthy, nor is German, although they taste okay. Mexican tacos are tasty, but also not too healthy unless you have chicken fajitas with pico de gallo. Poached or three minute eggs, oatmeal and soy or almond milk, whole grain bread and sugar free jelly, fruit and coffee is tasty and healthy.

Explains what? That I can still function well at 68 sexually? That I can out lift most people on earth my age? I've used soy milk all my life, and out lifted most of all the people that went to the gyms I either trained others in or worked out myself, naturally, besides those who were on junk, and in my weight class, almost all of them.  No one lasts forever in their prime, as you'll understand once you get past your assuming and into reality. If you eat healthy all your life and exercise, your testosterone doesn't go down as much as those who don't along with those who drink a lot, so your times coming soon, if not already here. But you're keeping up with those others that assume daily here, so you might win an award for that.

One thing on my list to buy when we move back home, besides a good coffeemaker, is a bread maker. My daughter makes some, had a little when I visited last year, and it was good.

So I do like German breakfasts, cold cuts great bread etc.

 

That being said.

 

As a young man I used to do a lot of work in the UK, and was introduced to this wonder breakfast item 'Fried bread'

 

I'm pretty sure my arteries have suffered, but OMG, white bread, and fry it! Stuff to die for.

 

German cold cuts as much as I like it can't beat fried bread
