khunPer Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 What was the last farang meal you cooked for yourself? Typical Danish Xmas crispy pork roast with brown sugar potatoes, red cabbage and doublecream souce. The Thais in my house loves it – so do our farang guests. 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? I took GF to my home country to get used to farang baking and cooking – it worked well – so she, and/or our maid (who has picked up the farang-way-of-cooking), cook a mix of menues: Thai some days and farang style other days. Not typical home country meals, but typical European style, such as home made pizza; ditto lasagne; various steaks with baked potatoes, doblecream pepper souce, and salad & baguette; fish & chips; owen baked duck or roast; spaghetti bolognese; pork tenderloin cream carry bowl with bacon and vegetables; various pasta dishes with bacon, ham and doublecream; etc.Works very well, as my “family” got used to foreign food from our visits to restaurants, and we all may get bored of Thai food only (I believe apart from Isaan-style spicy papaya-salad, which Thais seems not to able to survive without).

beb Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I've been on a sausage kick recently. Last week I used fennel and made Italian sausage and put that in some home made spaghetti sauce and this week I whipped up some sage, breakfast sausage. I'm also a big fan of black eyed peas. this stuff is all delicious but I think I may be eating a little too much now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nahkit Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 mushy peas on toast 4 hours ago I think that falls into the same category as my fish finger sarnies. I used to love brown sauce (Hammond's Chop Sauce) on toast as a kid. I make my own bacon, hams and gammons, I have made my own pease pudding here, and I will next attempt to make my own stottie cakes. Ham and pease pudding stotties. Maybe some members can fathom out where I was raised by that snack. Newcastle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonman Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Honey Glazed Roast Lamb (shoulder) tonight with roast taters, onions and pumkin...still bout an hour away but reckon some mint sauce will work a treat.

tim armstrong Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I had to stop reading all the posts - it made me start to crave for farlang comfort food. Fortunately for me my wife cooks great cottage pie, spaghetti bolognaise, lasagna and other stuff. She hasn't tried to make a meat pie yet, but I'm working on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lineofentry Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Full English Breakfast - Cuppa tea an' a ciggy. Lol. Actually, Scambled Egg made with milk, butter, salt, pepper and a hint of garlic, grilled smoked steaky bacon (nearly crispy) fried white button mushrooms (or straw mushrooms) with seasoning sauce, garlic salt and a hint of soy sauce, grilled tomatoes with fresh ground pepper, proper home made (with sage, bay and nutmeg) sausages, fried bread (small), freshly made toast, quality butter (eg Emborg), freshly made groung coffee (strong and sweet). Still working on the back pudding. None of those disgusting hot dog things or slimey processed ham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konini Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 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. My husband does that to every single thing he eats, even when eating out. He calls it sloppy Molly, I've heard someone else from Teeside call it that but never from anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some members can fathom out where I was raised by that snack. I made stotty cakes last week. Not quite as good as my nan's but better than mam's (not that I'd ever be able to tell her that). I was going to make a Jamaican Ginger cake this morning, but I don't have enough black treacle left, will be stocking up soon. Really got to stop with the treacle sandwiches, I lugged it over from England for baking not snacking I've never tried peas pudding, I've never seen (but haven't looked for) yellow split peas - did you use the split moong beans? We're back for a month in a couple of weeks, so I'll be getting some from Bolands at Ferryhill AKA the best peas pudding known to mankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJohnson Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Starter - Pan-seared scallops on a bed of minted green pea mash with a sliver of crispy pancetta on top - served with a chilly chardonnay) Main - beef cheeks slow roasted in red wine, tomatoes and a range of herbs (bay leaf, thyme, marjoram, oregano and bay) served with truffle mash and steamed green beans - washed down with a red from the Cote de Rhone Dessert - rum bananas with vanilla ice cream (very 1970's but still a treat) - washed down with a sticky reisling Not really really a typical evening meal but some friends came over so what the hell. It was all delicious - even if I do say so myself! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neeranam Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The last 'farang' meal I cooked was over 20 years ago. Actually, any meal for that matter. Unless you call making a toasted sandwich cooking. I've hardly ever even been in my kitchen. My wife, on the other hand, cooks a lot of Western food, which is good for me as I'm really bored of Thai food these days. The other day she told me that it was cheaper to make a pasta dish for the family than to make Thai food. So we have pasta/spaghetti bolognaise/macaroni cheese probably 4 nights a week. We also have chicken and mushroom pies/chicken kiev and other Western classics. My wife has spent a lot of time with my mother and grandmother on our Scottish trips and my mother comes here every year for at least a month so my wife knows my favourite dishes and how to make them. There are some things that are not possible for example one of my favourites, courgette bake and some eggplant vegetarian dishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
