lazygourmet Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Or "Witloof" / "Chicon", for us Belgian. Try a Carrefour located in an area with high density of expats (ie Rama IV) My locale one's (Bang Yai) used to import them... but not anymore.

Krungbin Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Villa at Sukhumvit 33 and at Sukhumvit 11 sometimes have some. As well, I got lucky once, I found some et Tops under Central Ploenchit... Almost the price of gold! If you have friends coming to visit you from Europeask them to bring you some!

sunsamourai Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Oh my ! Who could imagine this humble and cheap vegetable would have to travel across the earth, doubling its farang price in the process, before reaching the Thai golden temples of consumption . . . geeeez . . . but well, it's a craving, and I rarely give in to them... too bad for my wallet and my carbon footprint, I'll ride across Bangkok on this holy crusade ! Hooray ! Cheers all ^^ Edited February 21, 2010 by sunsamourai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunsamourai Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 Was in Carrefour Ratchada this afternoon, but they didn't have any. So well, I got some zucchinis to cook a ratatouille to keep me waiting, and I'll find some time for the Holy Witlof Crusade later on ! Cheers all !
