I was wondering if this is available in Thailand?

 

hmmm...harina means flour in english and corn flour is not what ye want for corn bread...hasta be corn meal...

 

but no matter, where I live it's hard to find wheat flour for regular bread much less corn meal for corn bread...I looked around at foodland when in BKK  but not in Villa...a lot of times you'll find packaged 'corn bread mix' inna box...just add water, etc...I think that's why my tennessee grandma quit making cornbread because she always wanted to be in control of the ingredients of whatever she made...she always made things from scratch...jesus, her peach cobbler was to die for...

But that is usually corn meal not flour. I found another picture to make it more clear. They also mention (though the text appears very small on the picture) that it is suitable for corn bread.
Maybe some store catering for the African community in Bangkok has it?

if one can find italian polenta I'm told that it can be used for corn bread as it is basically just cornmeal...but haven't been able to find that in Thailand either...useta be able to find it in supermarkets in the middle east...the supermarkets out there got a lotta stuff that's not available in Thailand and I useta load up my suitcase when I'd come home on leave from work every 3 - 4 months...

Some Big C used to have Polenta from their French Casino Brand.
I bought it twice and since it was only in a cardboard box it had bugs inside.

I found this interesting one:

Scored some discounted mozzarella today. 4x 40 baht 200gm. Will grate up and store in freezer.

Hmmmm. How to use in keto diet? Cream mushroom soup with mozzarella maybe

saag aloo with eggplant/aubergines...

 

https://www.theguardian.com/food/2019/feb/16/vegan-saag-aloo-spinach-and-potato-curry-aubergine-recipe-meera-sodha

 

very tasty this one, didn't have no spinach and used baby bok choy and good enough...I still had some of the small cans of tomato paste left, last time I looked at makro they had no small cans and just the huge 400g cans which is a disgrace as ye only need a coupla tbbls for any given recipe...whaddaya supposed to do wid a goddam 400g can? one can always use fresh toms, I suppose...

 

didn't have no kashmiri chile powder so used the local flaked red chile instead...gotta be careful with that stuff because if used illiberally it'll burn you a new one...you can get both hot and mild at the market, best to experiment using both and mix and store to get the best effect...black mustard seeds and cumin seeds available at makro...

Tried the new raspberry Pepsi max, nice enough...

[Yellowtail]

Just had a "Spicy Italian" Subway, on parmesan oregano bread, toasted with all the vegatables and Caesar dressing.

 

That thing was the bomb. Thought I would eat half now and half later, but that didn't work out as planned...

[Michaelaway]

MD, I tried PMR today and I agree, it was pretty good- so I checked. Wasn't really looking for more caffeine, but ginseng can't be bad. It's definitely not as sweet & delicious as regular Pepsi, guess that's normal for diet sodas. Been a while, but Diet Sprite isn't bad... but it's unavailable.

 

"Pepsi Max is a zero calorie cola beverage... designed to taste more like regular Pepsi than Diet Pepsi by using the sweeteners Aspartame and Ace-k. It contains more caffeine than regular Pepsi and has added ginseng."

My position on food and drink is that if it tastes good, it is good.

I agree!, but just eat it, don't ask what it is.

Yes, knowing what it is can often ruin it for me...

It's surprisingly good.
Before coke zero was the only light soft drink that tasted acceptable. Pepsi max is awful.
But the raspberry could become my new favourite.

I got a pastrami on rye bread at a downtown deli in Philadelphia once...it cost about $12 (in 2008) and weighed a ton, got back to the office and ate half and then immediately fell asleep for half an hour...took the other half back to the apartment fer supper and it hit the spot with a couple of tall buds from the corner 7/11...

 

didn't have no TV at the temp accommodation but the internet connection was good...man, that mustard was the best I'd ever tasted...a young woman who was practicing with her cello in the courtyard indicated that I had mustard on my chin and I invited her up for a beer but she demurred...she was into the Bach suites for solo cello which are a favorite, never did see her again...

 

tutsiwarrior with a pastrami with mustard and an apparition in Philadelphia, not far from downtown...too weird fer me, I finished my business and got on the next flight back to saudi...

I grew up in Highland Park, a suburb of Philadelphia.  The family that lived across the street was Italian and owned a deli/sandwich shop and a bakery at a strip mall within walking distance on State Road.  It was normal as you walked in the door thee was the checkout counter then followed by the meat and goods display case and then a long bar with stools.  The normal sandwich was a Hoagie (Philadelphia submarine) and they also had others such as homemade meatball and sausage.  The bread was baked by the family in the bakery which was next door.  Further down the strip was Jewish deli with the same inside configuration.  All of the meat was cut to order on a slicer, my favorite being corned beef on rye.  The rye was baked by the Italian bakery.  Further down there was a small grocery that had almost any of the foreign delicacies that you wanted at at the end there was a drug store that made the best root beer float that I ever had.  It was all right there.  If you wanted anything else you hopped the bus to the 69th street terminal which was the end of the EL line and you could go anywhere in Philadelphia.  Hanscoms automat was very popular where you put money in a machine with a turntable and got just about any food that y6ou wanted, all made fresh that day.  That was 60 years ago and the fast food then was far better than what you can get today.

Yes, but were the ingredients and caloric content listed?

I've never seen either on any of the McDonald's crap that is available today and the last time I had a BMT, actually once a year when I got my income letter, which is now over, the pepperoni was cut about 1/4" thick and it was disgusting.  The trick of cutting meat for sandwiches is to cut it as thin as possible.  Kinda reminds me of how 7-11 cut the condiments when they had "fresh" burgers and hot dogs on buns.

I’ve never seen a slice of meat at Subway I couldn’t see through...

Pepperoni at most sandwich and pizza joints is pre-sliced.

The last slice of meat I saw in Subway was that thin it only had one side.

We have a local Wednesday walking market and there is a vendor that sells barbecued sausage and pork.  He has both hot and regular large sausages that actually are quite good and are not sweet or sour.  I buy raw ones from him, 6 at a time, and the bag that he gets them from is quite large and has absolutely no writing on it to tell the brand.  Ive never seen them in any of the grocery stores.  I make my own sometimes using a mix of pork and shrimp and I have a large bag of beech wood smoke seasoning.  I buy the casings and seasoning from B.O.T., 1 hank at a time, 90 meters, and keep them in the fridge.

I still have the packaging in the freezer. Next time I can take a picture of the ingredients.

Yes. It is this "crap" in the box. I'm seriously into cooking and making things at home but there is hardly no difference between the dried and homemade mash. I am using good quality and there's only dried potatoes in it.

I might have misspoken as I haven't knowingly ate  the "crap" in the box in over 60 years.  I actually had a restaurant for 10 years about 65 miles north of New Orleans.  I didn't serve mashed potatoes unless they were requested, but I found that it was best to use baked russet potatoes scooped out of the skins.  When I have mashed potatoes here I also use baked potatoes with the skins removed because the baking removes the high moisture content of the potato where boiling them just adds more.  I cook everyday and the only time that I go out is when there is a local function since I really live in the boonies.  Roasted pork tenderloin marinated in a garlic/pepper/ and Italian seasoning sauce with stir fried Chinese cabbage for Linner (Lunch and dinner in one meal) today at around 1300.
