Comfort-food For The Cold Season


Ricardo

Recommended Posts

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 ? :o

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.

Tasted a remarkable Thai sausage the other day :o

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 :D

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!?

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
