this may be a very original thought but have you tried asking them?

I listen to Radio 5 Live every morning from 07.00 Thai time. The program is named Up all Night .2 main presenters, Mon-Thurs Rhod Sharp and Fridays and W/E Dotun Odebayo. Great presenters, wide range of topical subjects and interesting interviews. On my day off I will then switch to Radio 4 for the Shipping Forecast and on to Today.

No. His last location was on Naklua Road near Soi 14 and he didn't have enough customers to have a proper business so closed.
Greg did go working for a popuĺar expat restaurant/bar on Soi Boukaow but was not happy with the quality of ingredients. That was a couple of years ago. I don't have more up to date info; I hope others do.
He now has a place out on the lake. It's called Little House Cafe

in a different thread where we have discussed cheese the subject of locally available parmesan came up and at makro recently after doing the 90 day report I found a wedge of Cello brand 12 month aged 'artisan parmesan'...origin unknown, probably some fake italians in a fake place in SE Asia...
and I handled it carefully and thought about ingredients at home; got everything for a good meat sauce including bell pepper and 500g of wheat penne, etc...and I whipped it up with 250g of ground beef; onions, bell pepper and garlic first in olive oil then the ground beef and drain off the excess grease...diced fresh toms and 3 tablespoons of tomato paste, salt, pepper and spices...let simmer 45mins with a splash of hot water from the kettle...boil the pasta, drain and rinse and add to the sauce, mix and simmer fer a bit...
and then the piece de le resistance...grate the parmesan over the mixure in a serving arrangement...
many years ago I had a pal who was a heroin addict and he was clean for 6 months then did a load of shit and exclaimed: 'and it was soooo gooood!!!...' I felt the same about the pasta and meat sauce with the freshly grated parmesan cheese, hadn't had it for years...
They seems to be American...... http://cellocheese.com/our-story/

for grated carrot salads, shredded daikon radish salads and sliced cucumber salads I've discovered a sugared rice vinegar dressing that's so much nicer than a vinaigrette with oil, mustard and etc...the heavy vinaigrette makes things soggy when the sugared vinegar makes it nice, crispy and delightful...looks like a staple in japanese cuisine...
take yer vegetables and shred, chop or otherwise cut up and then eyeball the amount...then whisk together a 2:1 mixture of rice vinegar (makro) and sugar (adjust to taste ) and whisk until the sugar dissolves...pour over the veg, toss and refrigerate and bobs yer uncle...could maybe even use standard white vinegar as well...
are you OK, Naam?
The only dressing I use is vinegar and sugar. My mum told me that it is a ''Welsh thing"

Thanks for that. There are Tripadvisor reviews from Feb. and March 2017 though.
Those would have been for the 3rd Rd site at that time.

Not so wild goose chase.
I've heard good things about Barcode Turkish restaurant on the darkside but I haven't been. A while back I read in the "press" that they were planning on opening an in town location (good idea!). Well the other day on a Buakow baht bus I saw a big sign for BARCODE down some small dead end soi north a bit from Buakow night market area.
Well, I stopped in today and there is nothing Turkish about it. It's fair to assume this might have been a failed Barcode attempt but it's just another Thai and seafood restaurant with a predictable menu. (No customers in sight.)
Anyway for the dark side people --
They closed on the Darkside almost 2 years ago. They moved to a place on 3rd Rd and then closed that also. For a short time they they we involved in another Turkish restaurant on Soi 12 or thereabouts on Beach Rd. Then they withdrew from that so are no longer functioning. it's a pity as Mehmets food and hospitality were excellent.

Keeping in mind the majority of his overstay occurred during a time when such an extended overstay could be cleared up with 20,000 baht and the perpetrator could fly out and return very next day, I don't see what all the condemnation is about. It used to be a very common practice to maximize the days in country for the inevitable 20,000 fine. It's only been in the last couple of years that the rules tightened up.
I'd suggest the guy write a book detailing how to stay under the radar for so long. Lots of folks who don't have the juevos to post up here could probably benefit.
BTW, I'm on a very legal WP before anyone goes there in reply to my post here. But I agree- there but for the Grace of God (or the luck of the draw for you atheists).
Seeing as he has overstayed for such a length of time I doubt that writing is within his capabilities. After all he doesn't seem to be able to read the rules governing overstays .

In Vientiane recently, I was quite surprised by the number of French nationals there - about 70% of tourists.
Franchises can be a financial death-trap if the franchisor makes the franchisee a captive of the supply chain. A lot of franchisees in Australia under huge stress.
I'd agree - get the fast food experience first by working in a fast food chain. If you can't make it to store manager, possibly it's not for you.
You were surprised by the amount of French Nationals there..... wow....I guess history was not one of your strongest subjects.

one of the first things I learned to make was a lentil stew with onions, carrots, celery...and my instructor was my friend's mom, she was good at makin' big pots of stuff to feed the masses, she was one of the first socialist/zionist kibbutz people to go to palestine in the 30s...but she was jewish and I didn't discover the merit of ham hocks until much later...
man, that sure would go good with some corn bread...
got some ground beef and tatties, believe I'll make a meat loaf and mash sometime soon...the cornbread will hafta wait, impossible to find cornmeal anywhere in Thailand, even in BKK...
Interesting about cornmeal.... we have down here in SexCity. the Sexpat capital of Thailand with all the dregs that live here..... ad nauseum.... A Venezuelan place offering arepas. It will apparently open on the 10th of this month. They must be getting cornmeal from somewhere. I have only eaten arepas on Tenerife in the Canary Islands which have a number of people who went to Venezuela in the Franco days and retired there when oil went to crap.

There used to be a queue where BOI work permit / visa holders were allowed. I used it once in DMK. Is that the same queue? Still there?
I am informed that BOI can use it but your need a letter from them which you must carry when you enter. I have seen the letter (of an extremely reliable person) but it does not seem to have any form number etc.

pop down to Thaniya Plaza ( at Sala Daeng) Infini Tailors on the 3rd floor amongst the golf shops. K Somboon is a Thai Master Tailor and produces superb work.

Just seen a post on FB from Gerhard stating that Das Wirsthaus will remain closed as he is ill. He is unsure when it will reopen at this stage as the illness is quite serious. I wish him well.
I am now reading that Gerhard has passed away.

I went past this place this afternoon. It was closed - probably only opens in the evening.
I can confirm it is now called 'Das Wirtshaus'.
Directions are easier from the other way. From Central Road, drive north on Soi Yume/Soi Paniad Chang, past Big C Extra on the left. Once you've passed Big C Extra, continue on Soi Yume/Soi Paniad Chang for about 200 metres more. Look out for 'Dental Loft Clinic' and 'The Legends beer bar' on the right. When you see them, turn left down the soi opposite them. You should now see 'Grace Spa' straight ahead of you. Go down the soi on the left side of Grace Spa. 'Das Wirtshaus' is two-thirds of the way down, on the left.

I am OK with collagen casings at the moment.
My problem is fat fingers and no butchers twine so I am tying the sausages off with the casing and wasting a lot of the casing.
OTOH the sausages are great.
I have some friends who go back to the UK and I generally ask nicely if they can bring back a kg of sausage herbs and casings.
I had thought of asking someone to bring me a stuffer back but they are relatively heavy.
Ali Express looks like the best bet at the moment for sundries and Weschenfelders in Nothumberland have greta sausage mixes but they will not ship to Thailand as there are too many problems involved.

This company does a Cumberland sausage herb mix..... give them a try. I got Kampot pepper from them
