I made a nice chili from some dried red kidneys and frozen ground beef that I bought from makro at changwat suphan...cook the beans then drain into a colander, rinse the pot then saute onions, garlic and spices, add fresh tomatoes, cook a bit then mash with a potato masher...then mix together with the beans then simmer with a bit of water for 20 mins...not bad with my homade pita bread (bread fixin's also from makro)...been eatin' it now fer 3 days...pretty much the same method used for the curried beans in my previous post...

 

gonna try the frijoles recipe that was discussed in the garbanzo thread in the BKK forum tmw...usin' black beans also from makro...

Im confused you said you made chili, but in your recipe you don't use chilis. So looks like you made some beans in a tomato sauce. Not really chili.

chili is the US term for the UK 'chilli con carne' which usually has nothing more than some chile powder which is added to the spice mixture or ground dried chiles of which there is plenty in Thailand, I brought back some indian chile powder from saudi...fresh chiles don't make that much difference to the taste but you can add them with the other spices if desired...chile powder is added to the garlic and onion mixture before the tomatoes along with some cumin and whatever else...

 

there are a million recipes for US chili...an old favorite from univ. days, one pot feeds an entire student household...eat with fresh corn tortillas (California)...

 

one day a housemate was attempting his own version; tutsi: 'fool! whaddaya doin' puttin' in green pepper fer??? this is chili, not goddam spaghetti sauce!' and then there were fisticuffs in the kitchen...

Chili is the US term for the UK (who speak Spanish after all) Chili con carne? lol Considering we invented the dish that is funny. Chili is understood to have meat in it unless it only has beans. Yes, Tex Mex places call it Chili con carne so it sounds more authentic. 

 

Chili con carne FWIW is the designated official dish of the state of Texas as designated by the House Concurrent Resolution Number 18 of the 65th Texas Legislature during its regular session in 1977.

 

Whatever it is called it has nothing to do with the UK where people usually serve it with rice. Sorry for being pedantic but it is in response to a post that assumes wrongfully that chili has anything to do with the UK. When served atop rice it is called taco rice in Japan from the days when the US service men introduced it to Okinawa. To this day it remains a specialty dish that Okinawa is famous for.

 

Either way it is quite tasty and a popular thing to do with chili (con carne) is to put it over Fritos chips (this is known is a Frito pie or in the UK as a pie with Fritos containing chili con carne) or any other tortilla chip. In the midwest we serve it in a bowl and melt cheese over it, put a dollop of sour cream on it and crush up saltine crackers on it. The saltines get stuck to the sour cream and add a nice crunchy texture to the sour cream.

 

Sorry I can not sit here and abide being lectured about chili by a brit. :)

I'se from California...Pasadena, to be precise, the tip off shoulda been 'spaghetti sauce' as the brits call it 'bolognaise'...you from the midwest? I thought that they put hot dogs in their chili and use catsup fer the 'tomato sauce'...(yuk, yuk, yuk...no offense intended...)

 

that bein' said, a chili dog is a wonder to behold...

 

 

I would never consider usin' the local thai 'hot dogs' for this purpose, however...give me good 'ol Oscar Meyer...

 

AFAIK texas chili ain't got no beans, just meat and chiles...a neighbor made some once in Venice, CA and opened my eyes to a new culinary horizon...in texas they use road kill, squarshed armadillos, anything that comes to hand...

Wow I was just thinking of chili dogs myself. I can't find decent buns here though. Yes in Texas it doesn't have beans usually that's why it is only called chilli. I prefer it with beans however. The Texas variety is good on nachos and perhaps a chili dog.

 

Might have to make a post and find some buns in Bangkok. I know they exist because some places sell okay dogs in this city. Oscar Meyers are available at Villa.

I used to eat chili at my friends mother's house in Guadalajara Mexico.  She would turn over in her grave if she though that her son was putting beans in it.  True Mexican Chili and southwest Taxes chili doesn't have beans in it and according to my friends mother, "it's not hot enough unless it melts the wax in your ears".  If you wanted to eat beans with your chili that was fine but they were added as a condiment after it was served.

yeah...the mexicans are very creative, mole is a kind of chili made from 3 - 4 kinds of chiles and...chocolate...used in the classic mexican offering 'pavo en mole' (turkey in chile sauce)...

 

and, I am outraged that as expat international gourmands we do not have those ingredients available in Thailand...in a place as humble and non pretentious as Oakland, CA  ('there is no 'there' there - Gertrude Stein') you have everything that you need...

there's a time for caviar and there's a time for bacon (which is actually ham but called bacon).

to my experience in Cancun, Lake Chapala, Puerto Vallarta and Acapulco the "chili" i was served had always a certain content of frijoles negros. but then the menu never showed the adjective "true" or "Mexican".

 

perhaps i was cheated and was served "chili brazileño or chili venezolano"?

apropos bacon and 'smoked' salmon. some of my favourite food stuff, even if called "smoked" lacks, according to the opinion of my taste buds, the attribute "smoked". i therefore "smoke" it artifically for 24 hours with a marinade of water, concentrated liquid smoke, fine cut red prikh, crushed green pepper and a tiny amount of vinagre balsamico and Louisiana hot sauce.

In England my friend introduced our family to Chilli-con-carne. We used the packets of chilli-con-carne  powder mix, first Lobo, then later we liked the Coleman's one best. I wish I knew the  ingredients to make my own here. I do use the Chill-o packets here which are passable. We ate it with rice or mashed potato, but stopped using red kidney beans and prefer baked beans instead.

Maybe a heinous crime to some, but we like it.

In the states they sell chili beans in the can. Add tomato juice, favorite spice pack, diced tomatoes, a little jalapeño, onions and cooked & drained ground chuck.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm from the U.K. and my Texan buddies claim that my Chilli (Con Carne or whatever) rates up with some of the best that Texas can offer.

 

Sorry to be pedantic but it's Brit not brit, I take you're a Yank not a yank.

We need somebody to go out and make something drastically new. No doubt there is a wealth of ideas in this thread about what can be made in Thailand. However we need some molecular cooking or something edgy. :)

 

Okay I have a large chunk of tuna steak I am not that great of a fan of simple seared tuna. What to do with the leftover piece? Anybody have any idea for a tuna recipe?

[tutsiwarrior]

'about what can be made in Thailand'? tuna steak is not available anywhere but in falang enclaves in BKK, Pattaya and CM...where I live the only tuna available comes in little cans either packed in water or vegetable oil...

 

for those of us that live in nakhon nowhere the idea of preparing the exquisite dishes appearing on this thread becomes a cruel joke (oh, sob!)

As has been said many times you can get many of these things such as Tuna steak from passiondelivery anywhere in Thailand.  You are obviously going to pay a bit more than tins of tuna from 7/11. Almost any dish I have showed you can be made with what is available on their website. I do however get my spices and stuff like that from Tops or Villa. 

 

For stuff like that you can make a run and stock up.

I made the frijoles per the description above and it turned out a treat but I cooked the beans in 1/2 pack of bacon, made a sarnie from the other half then used the bacon fat to cook the onions and spices...so good that I ate half on the spot when finished...

 

made a moong dahl yesterday from dried mung beans from makro using the usual curried bean method that I described previously but put in black mustard seed, cardamon pods and cumin seeds (all brought back from saudi) with the butter at the beginning...garlic onions and ginger, cumin, coriander, tumeric and chili powders then fresh tomatoes, simmer then mash with a potato masher then add mixture to the beans (cooked to a mush), then simmer...it was to die for...

Cold smoked salmon trout.

 

 

Not much cheaper as a Makro smoked salmon (the only one available in a decent radius), but so much better if you make it by yourself (cheap smoked salmon's are injected with water before smoking - mine are not)

 

Salmon trouts fit better in my fridge (approx. 1kg/filet), so that's why I use them it instead of salmon. Fish is ready to eat after 3 days.
