worgeordie Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 While shopping in RimPing this morning,I could not believe my eyes, A large Savoy cabbage ,priced at 861.50 THB,!, while it might not be of interest to many,it might be more interesting than some of the posts we get nowadays. regards worgeordie P.S. I did not buy it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsally Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I think we need proof to believe that one ! Which Rimping by the way ? Even 86Bt is expensive ! Although something this size might just justify the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Geordie must have come from 1 of your mates in the north east, they like growing show stopping veg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Just recently saw a picture of a pack of Brussels sprout for 555. Savoy cabbage, brussels sprout... All "exotic" stuff imported by plane from the colder parts of this world. Never saw savoy cabbage in normal supermarkets, not to speak of local markets. In comparison: go to Lafayette, Harrods or KaDeWe and look at the price tags for fresh rambutan, purple mangosteen etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are Leek cults in the former mining villages,see who can grow the biggest Leek, then on the night before the show,the Leek slashers are about,destroying the competitions Leeks,so some people actually sleep on the plot with their Leeks, Football,Drinking thats what its all about,not necessarily in that order.never grew them myself but like a plate of fried leeks and Gammon,couple boiled ,buttered potatoes . regards worgeordie Edited May 11, 2017 by worgeordie correction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simoh1490 Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Not directly related by perhaps useful for some: TOPS in Central Festival sells store made Cumberland Sausages, 500 baht a kilo (with a number 1 card) and they are actually quite good.

jobin Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Whether beer or veggies; imported = very high import tax. I eat and drink nearly 100% local. However, if the price were lower, i'd drink better beer than Leo, maybe London Pride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
