Supposedly, there has been a huge shortfall of buffalo beef in Thailand over the past 20 years, as more and more buffalo upcountry suddenly 'got sick'... ???? Wonder, for whom all that buffalo beef was imported; the large Chinese hordes tour groups? I heard there is still a couple tons chicken feet, dating back to the 1970s, circling around between Vietnam and China (some of which found their way into Chinese supermarket chains only 3 or 4 years ago). Perhaps some entrepreneurial Thai importers could take advantage... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 And all or most of its probably soon to be re-sold on the black market.... Nice little earner..... Or, perhaps like drugs... they'll end up "burning" it, as in, on their BBQs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Alice's Restaurant Thai-Style "He said, "What were you arrested for, kid?" And I said, "Smuggling Beef." And they all moved away from me on the bench there, and the hairy eyeball and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said, "And creating a nuisance." And they all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping, all kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench.
