Dirk_brijs Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Knowing that there are huge Ostrich farms in Thailand and that Ostrich is a main export product from Thailand how is it possible you cant find Ostrich meat anywhere in Thailand It would be a much better replacement for Beef here in Thailand that the current buffalo they commonly sell.... Ostrich meat also cheaper in Europe then regular beef so price should be cheaper here as well or not? Anyone know of a place where Ostrich meat is available in Pattaya?

tonray Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It seems like everyone has 'stuck their heads in the sand' when it comes to talking about alternative proteins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 There is an alfresco Thai restaurant that sell ostrich; 2 different dishes. From the Grand Sole hotel on 2nd Rd, head towards Klang and it is just past Centric Sea condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I used to get it from Makro. It is pretty good stuff. I fed some to my Mom once. She thought it was real lean beef fillet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I've seen it in Makro also. It's frozen and in the area with all of the other weird imported meats such as , alligator (which is very good), turtle (can't beat a good snapper soup) , wild boar and others.

Guderian Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) A good question. A few months ago I read a Nat Geographic article about furs and skins, and they mentioned Thai ostrich farming which made me wonder why it didn't feature more prominently here. Maybe it's one of those Thai superstitions or religious things that make it seem unpalatable to many people? On this ostrich farm in Thailand, workers kill, pluck, and skin the birds by hand. Fashion designers prize ostrich leather as supple, durable, and distinctive, with a texture and pattern created by raised quill follicles. Native to Africa, ostriches are now raised around the world for their skin, feathers, and meat.Photograph by Paolo Marchetti, Alexia Foundation Edited July 4, 2017 by Rimmer Picture removed as this might be upsetting to some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as they have it and there is a huge foreign eating market.....??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 It is good an Ostrich steak cooked properly is very tasty. It seems the same like finding a good Turkey here, not easy to locate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the waiter if he had frogs legs. Krap he said. Well hop over to the fridge and fetch me a bottle of Leo said I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
