JSixpack Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Lived in PTY many years, bought meat from everywhere, never had the slightest problem. I've bought from the open bins, too. However, I carefully wash off the meat before cooking, and I always do cook it, not just gobble it raw like some of our more primitive TV members. It's the restaurants you have to be careful about! But I've never bought meat from any local market. The site of all those flies etc. on the meat just turns me off for some reason. Guess I don't like to share. If I buy fresh veggies from the market, I use a white vinegar wash on them before eating. I've also been known to use a diluted peroxide solution. (Google DIY vegetable washes.)

Steet cooking with rats running around and no source of running water or toilet facilities are better than a multi national corp? I know it is Thai Visa but ....

ThailandBert Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 They are not all that well known outside suicidally depressed cliques "It's so easy to laugh, its so easy to hate, It takes guts to be gentle and kind" Now I wonder who said that ? As for your opinion that they are not well known !?! thats laughable - one of the most influential bands of the last 30 years. I'm sorry but they produced the most vomit inducing drivel the Uk band scene has ever produced and when the big fat has been opens his mouth today the same crap ushers forth. Influential ? maybe more people have thought about committing suicide after listening to them then yes ! Buy local. I have a woman for my chicken, one for my pork, a very nice man for my beef and another nice woman for my seafood needs. I use them all the time and they know this. They all know me and take care of me. I have never been sold a bad bit of anything since taking up this method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree. One almost never sees a hungry homeless bum or vagrant here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
