Kfc Make Exceedingly Good Tarts

[eefoo]

Tried the egg tarts - far too sweet for my taste.

Sack all the sugar and put a bit of grated cheese on the top - they would be quite nice.

[Chunky1]

Go to Macau and get some real egg tarts.

[kunash]

so why dont we get mcdelivery or kfc delivery in the UK - always wondered that, they would make a killing

See this is the problem. I know the fries are going to be colder that liquid hydrogen and taste like the cardboard from the inside of a roll of toilet tissue but to me a takeaway from KFC or wherever just isn't complete without fries. It's as if there's an integral part missing. A bit like being at home alone, watching some porno and not having a wank.

Really? At KFC in the US fries aren't even a part of the meal. They have 'potato wedges' but no fries, never ordered them before either. Order the mashed potato, can put in the microwave if it's cold with a bit of cheddar on top. Now, they just need to serve biscuits, mac and cheese, and corn on the cob to feel like a real KFC meal

You know you lot could make all of this at home.

Fresh chicken breast, 75 Baht a kilo at Makro. Tempura flour for a batter, 60 Baht a kilo.

I do, but I manage to $&*! it up.

Have you cracked Colonel Sanders' 11 special herbs and spices that make the secret recipe?

Sounds like you are on the case. Just let us know what sort of time we should start arriving.

Right, I can get all this in Makro, enough to make 35 tonnes of KFC-like chicken for about 11 quid.

Who says we don't love old Thailand!

And where do you get a pressure cooker/fryer to make the final product? Frying under pressure is what locks in much of the moisture and flavor in those KFC chicken parts. Do you have a solution for that for the home chef?

Yup!

The local clinic has an autoclave. I'll quarter fill the vessel up with a cheapo palm oil.

Trick is to chill the batter before you dip the chicken.

Disgustingly I've managed to recreate battered sausages from the UK, you know, the 'double sausage lot'. Use the dodgy saveloy's about 3 baht each. They ain't bad to be honest.

[mca]

You being a seaside lad and me being born about 20 miles from Great Yarmouth we both know there's nothing dodgy about saveloys. 2 savs, a portion of chips drowned in salt and Sarson's, a " wally " and 2 buttered bread rolls. Possibly, nay, probably a burger in batter too. Ambrosia.

They have 'potato wedges'

I've never been a big fan of wedges. I can never get the condiment to wedge ratio quite right. Either too much or too little.

We know there is a lot wrong with a double sausage lot. That said it was even worse when I worked in Scotland, they deep fried pizza slices up there, added the ubiquitous portion of and called it a 'meal'.

Same goes for cider. No person from the West Country will go near the stuff, being suitable for the chemical demolition of concrete structures only and certainly not suitable for human consumption.

The people in this country make us look like the culinary savages we most certainly are.

But if I had to list a top ten of my fave foods a battered black pudding would be nestled in there somewhere.

I used to be a cider boy when I was younger. Banham cider house was the mecca. The only off putting aspect was all their brews seemed to resemble various shades of urine sample.

[IanForbes]

I enjoy all the tarts walking around Thailand. I especially like it when they smile back at me....

Oh, sorry, this is a FOOD topic. How strange.

I can't recall the last time I went to a Kentucky Yucky shop. I seldom eat muffins and tarts in Thailand. As far as the chicken goes I prefer the barbequed chicken off the rack in the Thai street shops.

Had black pudding the other day, visiting falang from Pattaya brought their own supplies.

This stuff is never as pleasant as I remember it.

[powderpuff]

They're sort of like what we in the UK call egg custard.

No they are exactly egg custard. Nothing "tart" about them. Idiotic marketing ploy.

[mca]

For some reason the favourite style of grilled chicken in Isaan is real bony <deleted> with hardly any meat. People travel from away to buy them at the renowned Khao Suang Kwan district and sit there sucking on the bones. I was always a fussy eater. I just want it straight in my gob and no messing about ( ooer missus). That's why I can't sit around peeling prawns etc. Too much effort for too little reward IMHO.

Yeah but I've had various BP from " a bloke in Pattaya" and it's usually a travesty of the real thing.

But the tart's the pastry isn't it? To me real egg custard was always served in a bowl same as rice pudding.

Yup, same as that, it comes from a time in life when time was short.

Peeling shrimp, the gangly legs and all that. Just give me a bag of North Atlantic cooked peeled prawns and a tub of Hellmann's real.

[mca]

Exactly. If I order a crab curry up here I always insist " meat only". No pissing around with the shell, claws etc.

The fear! The horror! The horror!

The horror of something inedible entering the mouth, being half crunched . . . the realization, the panic . . . the horror!

[mca]

Yeah. Nothing worse. Nice bit of seafood going in the mouth and then the " crunch" and you spend the rest of the meal dissecting every little morsel. Takes the enjoyment out of eating.

What's the Thai for 'Is there a Pizza Hut nearby?'

Shameful comment I know.

Probably rooster. Not good for much else.
