Just a little curious.

I eat quite a lot of Thai food, because it is not expensive and you don't have to cook it or wash up afterwards. But I also love to eat farang food when Thai food becomes a bit boring. I spent a lot of money building a dream kitchen on my house and equipped it with all the mod cons of a western style kitchen.

My wife has learned to bake western style breads and cakes, she is very talented and loves being in the kitchen, but she just can't seem to nail western meals like pastas, stew and dumplings or a good old Sunday roast. Which is fine by me, I like to cook so i I do all that stuff and so have it just as I like.

I just made curried beans with bacon and diced chopped pork (tinned PEK) to my wife's disgust. I can see her point, it must be a weird concoction to her.

So here is my question/s.

What was the last farang meal you cooked for yourself?

What is your fave comfort food from your home country that you make here.

How does the wife/gf react to your western culinary creations?

Belgian style beefstew.

They can't get their head around the fact that beef stewed in a few bottles of beer can taste pretty darned good.

Cheated a bit as I carried a bunch of hard to find stew herbs over on a recent trip home...

Sausages with potatoes and peppers with onion and gravy ,all cooked in a bag with spices ,it was delicious.

Baked beans on toast with melted chedder cheese and home-made chips with battered Dori fish.........and a helping of more baked beans. I think my wife is planning to cut out my intake of beans because of the output of gas my arse makes after said meals. Maybe I should stop covering her head with the duvet when each eruption occurs.........but where is the fun in that?

Lamb chops and mashed potatoes last night. mint sauce and all .....nice part was I picked up 2 racks at max value 800 baht per on special offer and I ended up eating almost all of them cuz the in laws decided they don't like lamb anymore once I plated. They saw the blood and nearly ran for the door hehehe

Picked up a nice large piece of salmon that I'm curing gravlax style now so that will be breaky for a week or so.

Last night, Corned Beef with sprouts, mashed potato and cheese sauce.

Cheese sauce?

Strange balance of flavours, I won't knock it.. I might be curious enough to even try it.

Pretty boring really.

Kind of Californian-Italiano

Just ate it.

Spinach fettucine w/ olive oil sauteed vegetables, chicken breast slices and Nana brand traditional bottled tomato sauce

(onions, red bell pepper, Thai red pepper, shiitake mushrooms, garlic, green olive slices, LOTS of zucchini)

You work as a Pizza Hut cook?

Call immigration!

This morning, bacon, fried potato, tomatoes and fried eggs.

Fish, mashed tatties, cauliflowers, sweetcorn. On Thursday.

Tuesday, pork, mashed tatties and cauliflower, spinach and gravy.

I honestly do not see a lot of difference in many Thai meals apart from the use of chillies and rice.

They eat chicken, pork, beef (not so much), vegetables.

Mince and potatoes, made enough for three meals and froze two of them.

Took immense pleasure in adding copious quantities of Lea & Perrin Worcester Sauce to the plate and then mashing all the mince and spuds together to make a thoroughly unappetizing looking gruel......wife looked on and was gagging. Tasted bloody beautiful...then I waddled over to the tele and couldn't move for 45 minutes.

Keep it up guys, getting loads of inspiration here. I am lucky my wife hates my food, more for me

I already decided upon home made fish finger sarnies for supper. Loads of butter on the bread, Heinz tomato ketchup, salt and pepper. Big plateful, all for me... cushty. I still love the food I ate when I was a council estate kid.

Pasta pretty easy to make compared to bread and desserts.

Fettuccini chicken avocado Alfredo. With Lightly stir-fried onion / bell peppers

Beef Casserole done properly in the oven yesterday. Wife likes it too.

Scrambled eggs and smoked salmon with cherry tomatoes

Beef and potato soup in the pressure cooker. Works well with the tough sinewy stuff. Mai mee wife or gf.

Spaghetti bolognese....with a lot chili (you are too long in Thailand if you put chili into everything).

Wife is half/half about it but finds differences in Italien noodle brands and learned to avoid any US noodles.

but regularly I make bread. Some bread is liked by my wife some not (she likes dark)

Pizza (wife does not like it, but I admit it is not easy to like my pizza)

Wiener Schnitzel....

Greek salat

Homemade English sausage and homemade bacon butty for breakfast. ( doh. Just remembered I've got HP sauce )

Chicken and vegetable soup made for son the other day.

Pork chop in rib sauce and spiced fried potatoes the day before.

Baked beans on toast with melted chedder cheese and home-made chips with battered Dori fish.........and a helping of more baked beans. I think my wife is planning to cut out my intake of beans because of the output of gas my arse makes after said meals. Maybe I should stop covering her head with the duvet when each eruption occurs.........but where is the fun in that?

beans on toast and fish and chips for one meal?

Bacon and egg sandwich with marmite and HP sauce - not for me, for a thai girl - I thought Marmite was a strange combo, but she has tried it before and likes it.

Sorry. I did not mean it was a combined meal but two different meals in the course of a day. Maybe that is why I had a build-up of gas. Baked beans overload!!! Fire in the hole!!! BOOM!!!
