Thread: Foods you miss...?

I miss brown toast....not the `white` chit that the thai`s serve up for brekkie

^ Buy a toaster, you cheap charlie !!

Given enough time, and a little effort, you can find most things that you can get at home. Fish and Chips at The Ship in Sukhumvit 23 are pretty good. Aussie pies [with plenty of sauce of course] in Sukhumvit 55 soi 7 and Sukhumvit 7/1 at The Down Under Bar [of course].

The problem with things like shaving cream and vegemite is that it is expensive and the cans/jars are small. I get friends on holidays to ferry in stuff from Oz. Simple. Always someone coming out here for a holiday.

Nice to see a couple of healthy fruits in there to offset the grease. Sounds good.

never had white pudding, what is it?

^ same as black pudding but without the blood as a constituent. In Scotland it is also known as mealy pudding, made with suet, oatmeal, onions and spices, meat is not a necessary ingrediant.

real deep dish pizza
White Castle Hamburgers
breakfast sausage
Wendy's Hamburgers
Fanny May candy
32 0z steaks
good prime rib
lamb that actually tastes good
real egg Mcmuffins instead of the breakfast sandwiches on a hamburger bun that McDonald's serves here
Maxwell House Coffee

I'm now craving Thai mangoes. The crap here has no taste at all. Also had some laichees the other day, also tasteless. The blueberries and rasberries are good tho.

Desire only brings suffering
I don't miss anything

That has summed it up in one line!
Luckily I'll be home next month for a wedding so that list will be the first meal.

Also, a fish supper from Anstruther, best chippy in the world! Queues out the door EVERY night. (well, it's been a few years, hopefully the same)

New England style fried clams.
Great onion rings
Perogis
Meatball subs and chicken cutlet subs
House-of-Pizza type pizza usually made by Greeks
Good nachos and enchiladas
Chinese Scorpion bowls
American style Chinese food
Dr Pepper
Jordans Hotdogs

Indeed. What happened to it? That place was the excuse to nip down Cowboy way and have a feed and a perv. About 5/6 years ago the staff inside became the most unpleasant of bitches and the quality of food plummeted. What's the present consensus, as I will be in Bangkok one night next week and I'd love a fish & chip supper with mushy peas?

House of Pizza?? You from Chicago?

As for the Chinese food. Yes a good take out or buffet Chinese restaurant is missed.

Onion rings with thick batter or a blommin' onion from a steakhouse would be nice.

White Castles
Skyline Chili
Dr Pepper
Perogies
Cornbeef n' Cabbage
Cabbage n' noddles
White pizza
Wedding soup
Sausage breakfast gravy
