Parsnips Anyone?

[wineman]

Anyone know where I could get some parsnips in Pattaya please?

[Cuban]

I might have seen them in Tops in the past but this is not a firm sighting, sorry.

I`ll move this to the Pattaya Forum where the local gourmets will be able to help you.

you are pushing shit up hill as decent parsnips need a frost and where is that going to happen in thailand

I bought them in Villa at Xmas, they were very expensive but worth it.

"Fine Words Butter No Parsnips"

Wise words indeed and considering the number of 'meetings' reported on Pattaya One News; often held for hours on end, in air conditioned rooms, with refreshments and sharp pencils to hand, where well nourished Pattaya committee members discuss how infrastructure and crime can be 'tackled' in Pattaya.....Parsnips all of a sudden seem very relevent.

Happy hunting......I have never seen any here in Pattaya. Do they sell tinned parsnips?

I have seen and bought parsnips at various times from one of Foodland, Freindship or Villa but your luck has to be in as supplies are scarce and also expensive.

Every friday at the big market at the temple at Huay Yai, stacks of them and cheap too!

villa market in the avenue. Get them sometimes, as they are on the high side.... price wise will try Huay Yai this weekend.

Bewarned - I mentioned this thread to Somchai the seller of finest coriander, basil and ropy looking carrots in the market this morning. He gauged me with a calculated Thai smile then popped behind his counter and jumped back a few moments later with a carrot that appeared to have been painted cream/white. "...only 500 Baht a half kilo, good price for you!"

Where is Huay Yai ?

[Sommaz]

You can get to Huay Yai by heading south on Sukhumvit. Go past chaiyapreuk, then at the next set of lights, turn left. Follow the road for about 4 kms and you'll see the temple.

Quite possible they are not real parsnips, look like.....taste OK though, maybe just a good Thai copy!!!

Have shopped the market in Hua Yai and do not recall seeing parsnips.

However I have purchased them in Villa. They are great roasted....

They are not always available so whenyou see them stock up.
