rafaelo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It's called Pickles and it's run by my friend Gary and his lovely Thai wife Ot and their son, Kevin. The very best authentic cold smoked meats, ribs, corned beef (that will remind you of the good old days), pastrami, sausages, chorizo, with all the home made trimmings and bbq sauces , good pizza too and the best breads. and they are always coming out with something new. Gary really loves to eat and share his food. Pickles off Chang Puak soi 6-7 Going North from CP Gate turn right at Soi 6, then left at first side ski, go up about 100yds, on Right hand side, call Gary at: 089637 - 0835 enjoy and tell 'em Rafael sent you ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Is Chang Puak Soi 6 on the left or right coming from the gate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loaded Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I used to buy from Buonissimo's deli at the old location on the river. I'll give Gary a try. 'corned beef' - now there's something I do miss. UK or US style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whimsy Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It is US style. Gary is an American. The shop is a little hard to find the first time. If coming from the super highway down Chang Puak Rd or after U-turning at the traffic lights near the Rajabhat if coming from the moat, turn left at the soi with the Standard Chartered bank on the corner, left at the end of that soi and Pickles shop/restaurant is 10m on your right. Here is a link to show it on Google Maps. Pickles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el jefe Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Is the chorizo real Mexican chorizo or a Thai-inspired version? And if you know, is it fresh or dried? In any case I'll be sure to drop in try them soon. Thanks for the excellent directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'll second that. The tongue sandwich is also rather delicious. The sandwiches are almost as thick as they are wide! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippydedodah Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Is the chorizo real Mexican chorizo or a Thai-inspired version? And if you know, is it fresh or dried? In any case I'll be sure to drop in try them soon. Thanks for the excellent directions. i agree... the only real way to make mexican chorizo is with dried ground chili powders from mexico (or USA). I have friends bring many packets with them each visit and/or ship them to me once or twice a year. Thais don't seem to understand much about chili that is NOT hot... but still flavorful... and that is the essence of any good chorizo, enchilada sauce, relleno sauce, etc.... I have taken samples of my wife's chorizo to Rob SK and one day he might be inspired to start ordering the chili powders in bulk - YUM Edited September 11, 2011 by zippydedodah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglechef Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 The tongue sandwich which I had on light rye w/spicy brown mustard was EXCELLENT, served by Ot, who was very helpful, friendly and really cared about the food and her rambunctious young son, equally friendly but a bit less helpful - LOL. There is guy who imports and sells products like what some of the posters are talking about, I have a few big bags of Chipotle peppers from them. Has a line of hot sauces etc. and restaurant foods. Sorry forget his companies name but can find out if anybody is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) I'm heading out of town soon, so will need to go that way and thought I'd take a peek at what's on offer. I called the number the OP gave, but no answer........anyone know what time it opens and closes? Edited September 12, 2011 by uptheos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a place says open from 8-8 and I'm passing during those hours and it's closed, I won't make a special trip back. It doesn't sound like good business sense, if a person wants to buy something at that moment, but the place may or may not be open. IMO this is the quickest way to lose customers.

keo Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 No, not to make an appointment, but to check that they will indeed be open. They're running a small operation which is still finding it's feet, and with a young child in the equation this means that the opening hours aren't exactly set in stone yet. Fair enough though, if that's how you roll. Are you so cut-throat with other aspects of your life? If a friend is late for a casual rendezvous, or doesn't reply to an email, are they off the christmas card list FOREVER?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
