That one is good for girls soccer or a ladies church croquette tournament. I hear tunes like that I reach for water cress finger sarnies and Pims Cup instead of A FAT JUICY BRAT SMOTHERED IN IMPORTED ONIONS and a beer, how that for a segue back on topic? It's somewhat ironic the Liverpool theme originates from the American musical "Carousel" by Rogers and Hammerstein. But I forgot, Americans excel in trite tear jerkers. "Love Story" ring a bell? Most of the onions will come from Un Zed, grown in the volcanic soils near Auckland. Pukekohe from memory. You getting back on topic. That's novel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't eat them in UK and I won't eat them here. Same goes for KFC, McD, Burger King, Starbucks and Isaan 'pickled' fish stuff that's been stewing for yonks.( I don't know what that's called) A poster, 'Huckenfall', I think, posted about KING sausages available at his local Makro. 220 baht from memory. I've been to Nakhon Nayok Makro several times since but all I see are frankfurter type things. Cumberland Sausages in Makro, bought a pack of ten just yesterday for 199. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they shouldn't be loaded with pesticides like the Chinese stuff they sell here. Think lot of Chinese food grown with human sewage, wash in Potassium Pomegranate. Sh#t happens.

Makro also have good stocks of German Sausages like Bratworst etc; more expensive but they are all better than the Frankfurter type rubbish that the Thai's call Sausages. What i would like to see is some decent Meat Pies, Pork, Beef, Chicken etc, nothing at all here unless you want to pay outrageous prices at Rimping or a couple of specialist importers. I make my own but it would be so much easier to pick something out of a chill cabinet. Edited January 16, 2020 by trainman34014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Thais have no use for potatoes lol. My wife refuses to eat them when in States. Next they'll be removing tarrifs on black hair dye or chilli's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time when food was only from local ingredients passed by decades ago. In Europe finding a Thai food shop even in the smaller cities is not hard. In here, Thais put a luxury tax on imports. I do find some logic to it, German sausages are a luxury compared to the local ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya is a expat/tourist enclave. Everyone lives there life, goes about their business it has nothing to do with Thailand. I lived there many years ago in the slow season six months a year. There's nothing Thai about Pattaya at all. Foreigners outnumber locals 10:1 or more. Probably has as much fast food as Bangkok by now. Twenty years ago it was difficult finding decent Thai food there. Respectable thai avoid the place. Just full of upcountry bumpkins. In seven years never met anyone born in chonburi. The fact you can get meat pies which Thais would never, ever eat pretty much proves the point. I doubt I could find them at my three supermarkets located closest to me in central Bangkok Edited January 16, 2020 by Number 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong. Makro have Australian carrots and new Zealand apples for sale - the apples were only 10 baht more than the Chinese ones ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't much like the "Granny Smiths" though..more like cooking apples ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
