30 grams for 59 Baht.

The 300 gram from Spain had cost less than 200.

Now 360!

Chorizo is anything but French 😊

Yes indeed, crazy prices, but what do you expect from CPF, all insane prices.
Eat ham almost daily, but with those absurd prices, I started making it myself, affordable and tastier. Similarly with bacon, I also now make it myself.
Previously you could buy reasonably priced paté´'s at BigC, sourced from Carrefour, but that too has disappeared and....make it myself now, but a bit more difficult.

Really bad. Even in Pattaya the choice of Casino stuff has gone down. Not to speak of Khon Kaen where BigC is hardly worth a visit. That happens in a market with so little competition.

Two clans controlling most of retail.

Chorizo ?
Thats a bold claim. Can't wait to try it

Been a long time since I had some of that...

Firstly, Hungarian salami is VASTLY superior to French salami. If they'd debut Hungarian salami, that would be reason to get excited.

 

Secondly, that's the wrong French sausage, the best one from France is the Saucisson Sec, which has already been available in Tops, Rimping and Big C.

Spanish Chorizo is available in varios shops around CM. Even the BigC has had it already over a year ago.

So the "cheap price" for "Salami" is 195bht/100gr. You can get good whole french salami (named "saucisson sec") in CM in certain Rimping stores for less. Of course you have to peel and cut it yourself and the diameter is smaller than a typical italian "Salami Milanese".

Just try it once. And calculate by weight, not by packing.

shoppers might have spent 50–60 baht. Now, it’s 30–40 baht," Sucharit noted.

Again, quality reporting...

So these small packages come at about 2,000THB/kg, wow.  And chorizo isn't French, so...  CP isn't rich enough, it seems.

French salami? Never heard of it.

 

Probably because French Salami is not all that great, apart from Saucisson Sec.

 

With Salami Hungary is the undisputed Superpower, followed by Germany, and then Italy. Though the Russians and Poles also have some good ones.

BANGKOK - French culinary flair is making its way to Thailand's convenience stores, as Charoen Pokphand Foods (CPF) introduces Bucher Rosette Salami and Bucher Chorizo Salami from France at 7-Eleven. Starting from July 31, 419 select branches will offer these gourmet delights, with further expansions planned across Bangkok and tourist hotspots.

So inacurate. Chrizo is Spanish salami. Overpriced due to the huge Thai import taxes, awaiting Trump will muzzle them
