jimbob Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Does anyone know where I can locate Branston Pickle in Phuket? It is a very urgent matter as I have some lovely cheddar cheese that needs a good coating of the brown stuff. Also does anyone know where to find proper cadburys chocolate? ie. not the crap that is made in Singapore/Malaysia and filled with wax but the good stuff made in brummieland with milk and cream. Are there any kind of UK food import shops on the island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Burr Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 You can buy Branston pickle at the Patong Deli supermarket in Patong, or, at Sin & Lee on Thalang Rd in Phuket City. Be prepared to pay approximately 320 Baht a jar though. Sin & Lee is cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Bring out the Branston! Bring out the Branston! If you're up in BKK's you can get some in Villa - can you get me some Piccalli while you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldenbead Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Don's sells it as well. Not sure of the price but I know it is dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatter than harry Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Pickle covered. Chocolate is tougher, you can get rowntree items (Twix's and Kit Kat's) from 7-11. Cadbury's is harder, may I suggest a methodene-y substitute? Try 'Dove' choccy bars, very much like a galaxy and guaranteed no rubber texture - or your money back!

Sir Burr Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 It could be that Marmite that comes in the wrong type of jar though. Will have to check it out next time I'm up that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Let me know if you find a good choccy alternative...i do miss my chocolate! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Me too. Twixes tastes similar to the real thing and Mars Bars are ok. The malteasers do not cut it though. Ferrero Rocher taste the same. Hersheys is crap (ie it tastes the same). Some of the thai chocalate bars are at least cheap like the 2 baht chocolate wafer. I do like the eclairs they sell at Big C supermarket near the checkout. Only 9 baht and they are yummy.

LivinLOS Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Wrong jar is not a worry unless you mean the marmite barrel scrapings otherwise known as vegamite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Burr Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 There was a thread where people convinced BambinA to try Marmite. She bought some in BKK and posted a photo of it. It was in a red jar and did not look like the real stuff. Personally, if it ain't in the proper jar, I won't buy it. Anyway, as I said, next time I go by, I'll take a look. Can't believe you didn't know about the Branston pickle at the Patong Deli...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got excited when they started advertising their Waitrose range but then I saw half of it was RICE! Who in hte ###### wants to eat rice imported from india, packaged in England then sent back round the world! WE WANT JAFFA CAKES, PICKLE AND CADBURYS - NOT RICE!

mickmac Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 For all the Chocoholics out there, have you tried the Ritter chocolate? Its originally from Germany, several different varieties, fairly expensive but taste good. Jaffa Cakes:- I found a similar type on sale in Carrefour, don't know if you have one in Phuket, but if you do look out for them, they tasted very good.

Sir Burr Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 There are hand-made chocolates available in Chalong. Have heard they are delicious. In that business complex on Chao Fah East road, just past Flinstone bakery on the left as you go towards Phuket City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinLOS Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 So the verdict is ??? Accept no substitute.. I dont suppose anyone has ever seen UK style 'crumpets' (rather than the Thai 2 legged veriaty ).. Crumpets marmite and melted cheese, taste of home !!!
