french fries inside of bread, what's next, rice inside of pasta?

daubt that but a Chip Butty is something many Brits have grown up with .. watch "Only Fools & Horses" it features regularly in this series which is great by the way .. ehem ... not so the Chip Butty .. had to explain to staff that for this, fry the chips in oil below the normal 180C since they have to be soft (without saying soggy) like British chips from a F&C shop ... I only comply with customers demands ...

Hi all,

finally chefsxp has managed to put our new menu on-ine -

There are a few changes - some items I have removed - some new items have been added - sausages, following earlier comments on this forum for home delivery I'm now offering in 2's or extra large size to make the delivery fee more worth while and to make them a full meal instead of a snack .. well for most

Check it out, and also our "Economy" lunch during the week - Meatloaf with Gravy and Mash - for the coming week

After another slight delay to do with the coding, finally our chefsxp site with the new menu is now up and running !

Just ordered and ate the meatloaf. As always, John, I'm very impressed with the quality of food you offer for the price. Nice work.

Only one small thing you might like to know-- the Chef'sXP description says the meatloaf comes with peas, but none were included with my order. No big deal-- actually I don't even like peas-- but thought you might like to know so that you can sort out the description .

Hi Genghis,

thank you very much for the comments. I love the meatloaf myself and had it a coupple of times for dinner. The peas ... hmmmm.. I already gave staff a bollocking and I would like to appologise for this, but I think one of the problems is that there seems to be a lack of interest in veggies amoung the ex-pat community here - virtually every order, the peas either stayed on the plate or with on-line orders customers asked to " leave off the peas" - I guess the staff was kind off hypnotised by being asked with every order to leave out the peas .........

Coming week its "Chicken Ragout" with rice (one of my personal favorites) with no veggies but mushrooms and capers in the ragout,

thanks again,

John

Gotta try the meatloaf!! maybe tonite...

Dude, check the peas - NOBODY refuses GOOD side dishes

Well, that's exactly what I thought once, but the fact is the peas are straight forward, tossed in a bit of butter and perfectly fine - add to this the fact that the on-line customers have not even tasted them and ask for no pease ......

New Years eve dinnier we had spinach with the Wellington, imported baby leaf spinach prepared with garlic and a pinch of nutmeg tossed in some butter - same thing, the plates were empty but of the spinach - people who orderd their xmas dinner (turkey) on-line for home delivery also had a varied choice of veggies but did not order any with the exeption of some US customers who ordered "Bean Casserole" ... but healthy, delicious sprouts .. nope

I love veggies and I prefere them as natural as possible and slightly al dente

Unless you offer HP sauce on that Chip Butty I suppose the English will burn your place down.

Order a case of the stuff - NOW.

DC, they sell HP and other sauces at Tops, Villa, Foodland, Carrefour, Lotus, Big C. Pick up a bottle and put it in your fridge next to your mustard, mayo, ketchup

John, was in Villa Soi 33 on the weekend and for the life of me, could not find your sausages. You still stocking them there?

What happened to Eurogourmet's corned beef Reuben?

It's not on ChefsXP right now it seems...

Hi,

as far as Villa is concerned, they gave themselves an additional 6 weeks on top of the 9 weeks they already had in credit line at which point I said enough is enough so we are not stocking there anymore

The economic crisies seems to have hit, especially the low sterling exchange and I had to throw away 3 KG of corned Beef, at which point I decided to stop offering the Reuben since there were very few orders. For economic reasons I shall revise our menu again,

sorry about that,

John

john do u know of any local source for real buffalo mozzarella?

So can you suggest a major Retail stockist of your Products now - preferably in the Sukhumvit area?

I have also asked in the past about stockists of your Vindaloo but never received a response.

Patrick

Just checked ChefsXP and can't find Eurogourmet?

The Bistro has closed down?

It's not on the Eurogourmet website anymore either...

hmm strange indeed - just clicked on the link to John's site and found this on the home page....

Let's face it, hard times are upon us!

Instead of producing and supplying top quality Sausages Pate's, Terrines etc. to 5 star Hotels, it seems more logical these day's that I help you, to make your own. An initial, small investment will result in substantial savings, even in the short term and you control your own quality, as well as selection.

You will get 5 numbered Formulas for 5 different delicious Sausages

Does this mean John no longer produces products????

Very strange..........profile reveals John was online yesterday but no word for his loyal customers on whats happening.....

Hi all,

well, sorry about not saying anything here, but I'm not sure yet as to the future. However, I expect to be able to give some more firm information within this week. The Bistro is still open, I stopped chefsxp due to disagreements about financial aspects ......

John

Ahh...now i know the reason.

Haven't been on forums for months and been searching for Bistro on chefsXP yesterday.

i should check in more often =\

Thanks for update...................best of luck

Can we still buy sausages/bacon/etc. from the Bistro by the kilogram?

If I go there to buy it personally, are we still subject to the 5kg minimum? (Assuming it's in stock)
