vulcan903 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Is it available in any parts of Thailand. I've not seen any in Tesco or Big C? Sent from my GT-P5110 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Just got back from Villa at The Paseo, Ramkhamhaeng. They have imported swede in stock. 275 Baht/kg. First time I've seen it in Thailand. (This branch of Villa, which only opened very recently, also has celeriac, Australian leeks and witloof along with a few other exotic fruits and vegetables.) I very much doubt swede is grown locally, so there's virtually no chance finding it outside the expat-oriented supermarkets in Bangkok and possibly Chiang Mai.

GinBoy2 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I've never seen it in Isaan. It is one vegetable along with leeks that I miss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billmont Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I have been buying Swedes and Parsnips from Villa Market Pattaya for a couple of years, also Savoy Cabbage, all imported from good ole Aus. I live in Issan and visit Pattaya a couple of times a year to stock up on foods not readily availale in The Mall, Korat. I par boil and freeze. This Christmas we had, as delightful extras, mashed Swede and roasted Parsnips to complement our Roast Turkey. With the cold weather it was almost like being back in the UK.Ha! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puchooay Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I've never seen it in Isaan. It is one vegetable along with leeks that I miss Leeks are often available in Makro. Buriram store has them most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I've never seen it in Isaan. It is one vegetable along with leeks that I miss Leeks are often available in Makro. Buriram store has them most of the time. What you're seeing in Makro are almost certainly not leeks but Japanese Onions which look very similar.

Difference discussed at length at http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/508188-fresh-frozen-or-canned-leeks/ Foodland stock leeks as well as what could be Japanese onions, look very similar to leeks but can't remember what they were called.

Meatboy thanks for letting me know but sprouts are something I never grew up to like! I still think they are the Devils Gonads. No insult meant and thanks for trying to help.
