johng Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 They used to have frozen sprouts in Friendship ( haven't looked for a while ) I'm sure they have some at Macro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 It's been a long time since I have seen "fresh" Brussels Sprouts in Big C Extra even the frozen ones aren't there anymore. But you could check Foodland they normally carry them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabC Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Friendship does occasionally stock fresh sprouts but the price will frighten you. I seem to remember about 60 baht for 8 or 10 sprouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignis Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I have seen "fresh" Brussels Sprouts and Runner beans in Makro but that was Feb or March time, non there last 2 visits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPuddingBertha Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I saw fresh sprouts in Makro the other day. I didn't buy any because I've booked for a few Xmas buffets, all of which include them. Never seen proper runner beans here though and would be delighted to find some. Are you sure they weren't French beans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes these were 100% runner beans, like we grow in the UK, they were pre-packed, do wish I had bought more than 1 pack.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenervoussurgeon Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Villa has both sprouts and parsnipr(take a fully loaded credit card) i love parsnips and we spent almost as much on them as on the bloody turkey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Those are definitely on my list next time I go. I wonder do they come from Ethiopia like most of the ones sold in UK supermarkets these days? They are very tasty, even if they aren't exactly carbon footprint friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackPuddingBertha Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I love parsnips and we spent almost as much on them as on the bloody turkey. You would think that parsnips could be grown for a pittance in China and imported here for not much more, wouldn't you? I love them too and they are one of the first things I buy and roast when I arrive in the UK on holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrain Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) I had to look up what are parsnips, but it seems that are disguised carrots , Think carrots are something like 20 Baht a kilo at Makro, put them in bleech for an hour or two and nobody sees the diference. All jokes aside, isn't there something similar grown in Thailand ? I recall having seen something around Edited December 22, 2012 by jbrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall having seen something around As a parsnip hater (you either love or hate them) I am pleased to say I am yet to come across anything else like them. I do understand though at this time of the year people have a hankering for comfort home country food and wish them all the best in finding Parsnips.
