Why eat quality fresh food when you can have delicious 711 plastic microwave food

I enjoy looking through these photo threads, lets say I am happy to agree to disagree.

When I go to Issan, I live entirely on 711 cuisine, I am fed up of that crap they call food and chicken that is still bleeding, rats, maggots and rotten seafood.

Those little 20 baht burgers re addictive anyway.

Maybe someone was the meal ??

Quite enviro friendly using the crematorium to cook dinner at the same time.

Hey watch out there DAL....... or I'll get this lady to give you a paddling! .... with the look of her face, I would not want to argue with her!

That's an awful sounding song!

This was a funeral "party" dinner being prepared... someone missed out on a good meal!

/end quote /footnote.

Only the negative focused reader would (mis)interpret, that posting your funeral cooking picture would presumably contain the slightest of correlations with your first and second line.

So because i am so found of your postings Mr. SamuiJimmy, in respect i answer you like THIS!

Krabi 2012.

Crappy shot i know But it helps me in making my point.

@ Mr. Terry : i think you are missing a world of bliss. It your personal choice and nobody can argue with that.

@ Mr. Diddums : It is not a world of difference when the gravedigger goes to work at his restaurant.

Both jobs are mainly about 'handling the meat'.

[Dancealot]

@ Mr. Theblether. I read around that you are a man of words. Quite remarkable today you only used pictures. And you are able with this as well

Very nice photo's! Yummie!

Offerings for the gods. Parts of the different Phuket, close to Phuket town.

Quite often people are really happy when someone stops by and takes photos. This time I got an tour on their little "temple" with explanations of some habits. The foods will be used in the same evening by the family members and friends. Truly lovely people.

[theblether]

Just when you mention offerings, I was down at the Chinese Temple in Chiang Mai last night and noticed these offerings.........

I thought they were a wee bit meagre, ........anyway that's the Chinese for you, always frugal.......

I met this happy chappy at the market place........

He looks delighted, I'm not so sure if the contents of his truck share his sentiments

I then went for a wander into the town and met the portable horror show........the Insect Lady!! I'll be telling my Grandson about her when he's a bad boy,

" You better behave or I'll send for the Insect Lady!! ".........Dan Dan Da!!

[Payboy]

Hoy's that?

[diddums]

Hoy's that?

Big Hoys.

I dont like big hoys.

I prefer the smaller compact ones.

Amazing and original shot! Notice the belt around this guys waist. This belt is meant for people with heavy back-problems and professional weight lifters. But he is just a regular Joe doing his job. His back is probably hurting a lot right now. But he still will have to unload this truck probably on his own!

He will loose his income when he stops working and stopped heavy lifting for about 3 months.

Do you see the smile on the face of this man? Take a good look in his eyes everyone. Do you see the pain?

I have a profound respect for people like him

Back to the food.

@ the end of the day, unlike in The Netherlands, a yamlike salad will be made from the excess the pig fat.

It was delicious.

[theblether]

Tuna Salad, with sour sauce.....

Pad Pron Kapee Gai

Sushi at the Sunday Market, Chiang Mai

[diddums]

Many people wear those waste/back support straps to offer extra support and stop any future problems....so not all actually have a bad back to start with when using them....also, many employers insist on them.

I see people wearing them a lot in places like homepro and such.

If you want to shear a sheep...or do other things to it....you use one of these..

At first i was distracted and wrongly focused on the razor being used in your picture after i read: .. you use one of those..

Thank you and i understand Mr. Diddums. I did not know about this 'sheep shearing back aid'.
