Comfort-food For The Cold Season

[Ricardo]

My vote is for porridge, in the mornings, and a nice shepherd's-pie with mushy baked-beans in the evening !

What do you drool over ?

I cannot answer that on this forum.

Here's a clue.

Breakfast comfort food?

Pot of coffee and a pack of smokes.

I already posted a thread about Ramen a couple days ago in the heat of the Suvannabhumi drama and it got little love from the CM forum. But I could really go for a decent bowl of tonkatsu ramen at local prices if someone knows where.

I also stop by the khanom jin tables set up under the stairs in Warorot late at night after a few drinks if I'm in town. Just 12B a plate and sometimes gaeng kiaw waan or naam ngiaw hits the spot almost like a good burrito or hamburger after festivities. Anybody know what I'm talking about ? For me it's CM local comfort food.

Pea and Ham soup

Tasted a remarkable Thai sausage the other day

about a foot long, reddish skin, about as thick as a ten baht coin.. came in a bunch tied. Had skin that you had to peel.

Tastes almost exactly like Saucisson! Except it was sweet, i mean sweet like honey

but it has the makings of a decent Saucisson, i just need to find a version with peppercorns and no added sugar, and a tad drier...

Anyone know if i can get a savoury Thai version of Saucisson, ie: not from a farang supermarket at 300 baht!?

droooool

What you tried could have been a variety of koonchiang (sp?) Chinese sausage? They're indeed ridiculously sweet, but intended to be eaten with the rice soup breakfast or possibly added to fried rice.

I was thinking the same, but he said as thick as a 10baht coin. The Chinese ones are quite a bit thinner, I'd say.

But it sounds like it - sweet, and tied together...

They also serve it with Kao Kluk Kapi - shrimp-paste rice.

There is also a liver version of the same Chinese sausage - I prefer the regular.

Overall, I prefer Sai-u-wa. Chiang Mai lime-leaf sausage. yum

All thats in the fridge are those stupid sweet sausages and some brown gunk in a plastic bag (been there a year now) - that apparently is a dip of some sort!!

Bread and Butter Pudding made with those big blond raisins, walnuts and cinnamon served hot from the oven with Buenissimo's vanilla ice cream. Made one yesterday and it's not going to last long....

Man I dream of a real reuben sandwich. What the F is with all these places having phony pastrami reubens? Can't anyone make corned beef?

[SomNamNah]

I have no idea what a reuben sandwich is, but it looks kind of tasty! Never had pastrami, is it corned beef? I always imagined it to be salami-like.. ah the wonders of google.. its beef. dam_n that sounds good. droool. hope thats cream cheese in the pic...

For the full Pavlovian drool response...

Have to excuse my fave foods, im a mix of nationalities.

Rollmops. pickled sweet fish. cant get any better than that.
