Frozen food in Thailand

[WitawatWatawit]

If i was starting a new topic each time I see an idiotic behavior, this server would be overloaded.

Don't be boring. Think about the knowledge gained, the information learned. . The memories - haven't had a Chiko roll in 25 years.

Remember the old fashioned Dim Sim?....eat an old one of them and its like a startled flock of pigeons flying out your bum.

Urghhh - maybe kitsune is right after all.

[Somsrisonphimai]

If I were desperately for food, yes I would eat it.

That phrase could be their new advertising slogan.

I guess it's a good catchy slogan. Somsrisonphimai can be a Chiko Roll girl

Hell yeah, sign me up, lol.

You're enjoying this aren't you Toady?

Well, he is referring to me.

Knowing I was going out drinking beer and Jagermeisters(?) with Toady, I thought I'd better eat something earlier in the day. All that I had in the freezer was some Chikko rolls that a buddy had bought up from Australia over a year ago.

Normally I give "Use by dates" a grace period, and in a Chikko Rolls case, I figured that in a state of deep freeze suspension, the use by date means very little. I'm not even sure what's in a Chikko roll.

Well, apparently I was wrong in my assumption...and if my story helps but one person, then it has been worthwhile.

About 8pm I started feeling a little nauseous, but like the soldier I am, I tried to drink through it. But the feeling was getting worse. I felt the sweats and the tummy gurgles coming on. I tried a few more beers in the stupid belief beer cures most things.

I left the Toady and grabbed a few Gaviscon sachets and some yoghurt, thinking it might settle my stomach. Bad move. It encouraged it.

Then I thought maybe I can sleep through it, so I took a sleeping pill and as I was lying there I remembered Bon Scott drowning in his own vomit in his sleep. I could't sleep much after that. Cramps, sweats and cotton mouth.

About 5am, the sweats and shallow breathing gave only a hint of what was about to come. I hugged the toilet bowl in anticipation.

And then it came. I had my ass end in the bath because I feared my sphincter seal might give out...and it did.

Back and forth to the bathroom all morning.

I had jammed a towel under the toilet door to reduce the retching noise in the condo. However at 9am, my cleaning lady knocked and she could not hear me say "come later" and she opened the bathroom door to see me half in the bath doing modern artwork with my blown sphincter valve and throwing up shards of Chikko roll mixed with the remnants of beer and yoghurt into the toilet. She looked at me. I looked at her and shrugged my shoulders and she closed the door and left. Hasn't come back yet.

...anyway, in the future I will take more notice of use by dates on foods.

Please learn from my stupidity.

It wasnt the Chiko roll mate, Toady has the same effect on most people

[Costas2008]

First of all, what is a Chiko roll?

Second, I love the frozen food from Tesco, Spaghetti Bolognese, carbonara etc etc.

For 75Baht can't complaint at all.

5 minutes in the microwave and presto.

The only thing need 2 of those packets every time.

Deep freeze (minus 20) keeps meat for years. We put raw meat in and don't even worry about dates. Never sick ....but this is in the UK with a stable power supply!

I disagree, have you ever heard of freezer burn ,Caused by storing meat, fish to long. it actually dries it out.

There is a brand new product, it is called plastic bag. put the meat inside and squeeze out all the air.

just throwing in the meat without packing it isn't good

[h90]

would you eat out of date food by a year anywhere.

deep frozen it can be out of date 10 years......

My mother just opened a jam from 1971: still OK

What flavor was the jam?

I think (not sure) it was strawberry. She told it taste good, but a bit bland...but it might be the way she made it (also bland in 1972), as she can't recall hahahahaha.

But she theorized that maybe like in the whiskey or wine the stronger parts of the flavor changes over time.

I need to ask her if she still has noodles from pre-Chernobyl in the deep freeze......

It should be a Russian bird...we can get Toadie to play the part of a young Elton John....but can he sing?

I'm feeling better.

Lessons learned:

1. Use by dates do mean something

2. Beer does not cure all

3. You cannot sleep through a full body eviction

4. Sphincter valves are not as strong as you may think

5. Maids have no compassion for the dying.

That is all.

[krisb]

He got sick from that Chiko Roll because he didn't wash it down with a Big M.

Here lies the real issue.

[krisb]

Chiko has beans, barley, ummm...carrots?

Some meat(ish) product(s), batter, oil, salt, pepper...then the rest is anyones guess.

Oww, cabbage...maybe?

All I know is the chicky babe bending over the Harley selling them 30 years ago probably still looks good.

Ps, don't let the brown rain turn you off Chikos.

Only a wild guess but your roll will be a Chiko one , what your role will be is anyone's guess, but you can bet knowing Mr Toad it will involve a swimsuit, a very small swimsuit.

Get yourself a slow cooker and cook the bolognese yourself and you can have as many portions as you want

[smokie36]

We need an early 80's batmobile for this project.

While the bolognese is made fast, the cleaning is time consuming......When I make it, I try to make like 10 portions and deep freeze the others.

So basically the Australian version of a Gregg's Cornish Pasty.

Greggs make Pasties but not Cornish ones.

Hmm sorry not familiar with Greggs, but I went to school with a guy named Greg. Nice guy.

Cornish pasties I am well familiar with. This part of South Australia is steeped with Cornish copper mining history and they enjoyed a Cornish pasty for lunch. I've heard the twist on top was so they wouldn't get the pastie dirty?

Thing with Chikos the secret was in the battered outside. Deliciously goldern chewy crust once dunked in hot oil.

Awful if it's a year old.

The paper bag would have been eadible I guess.

I didn't know that, I looked it up and Greggs were forced to change the name to follow EU rules.

As a Cornishman you must be pleased with this, as their Cornish Pasties were never really authentic, saying that a dog is a cat does not make it so.
