Thread: Does your missus like it or grin and bear it?

The ex-wife really enjoyed farang food.Even roast lamb,marmite on toast,tomatoe sarnies and blue cheese.

Hmm...is she 'farang' by any chance?

Oh yes, she says.




...and does her own cooking.

Being a cook only having 2 rice pots and a small cookie oven belonging to my wife in Thailand I havent had any major problems but she still insists that it costs to much for electricity. She runs the TV all night long though and insists that I eat sticky rice 5b.
They eat what I cook, no problem but I just found out she doesn't like garlic and I use a bit of it. The kid stated that he has never eaten this good in his whole life as he supped on a bowl of meatloaf simmered in a tomato sauce with potatoes and spice. One of my favorites. But now she wants it and the burgers made exclusively with ground pork. Maybe with the right spices I might tolerate the change.

They'll eat it outside but what I make seems to get passed over all the time.

i'm never going to win any cooking awards, but as and when i can be arsed to cook a roast or a pasta dish or pork chops etc. she loves it. Actualy i don't know why i don't cook more as i enjoy it once i get started, but just so cheap to eat out here and i am a lazy bastard.

loves it! particularly steak.

wont eat indian food tho....

Is this the Thai or the Indo missus?

Nope.Not at all.Although she stopped eating my Indian vindaloo,'cause it made her fart too much.

^^ The dutch oven is already warming up. Give it a couple of hours.

Mine turns out is a Coconut (brown on the outside and white on the inside)! She says "not true" but when it"s BBQ time! This girl can eat steak, baby back ribs, baked potatoes and beans with Garlic Bread and still leaves room for watermelon or ice cream. She just had her first Apricot Ale and loved it! Whats next Rodeo and Stock Car racing?

The only thing that the missus will eat that I cook is the spaghetti bolognaise sauce. She chops up a bunch of chillis, refrys it and eats it with rice.

My 'Missus' loves lamb, or a traditional English breakfast with plenty of black pudding, in fact the only 'Falang' food she will not eat is cheese!
When she lived in the U.K., after trying various Thai restaurants, she refused to eat in them, saying that they were too expensive with poor quality food. She does, however enjoy Indian food, and never refuses a chance to sample it.

Mine'll eat just about anything that comes out of a wasteland larder save for smelly moldy bluish/green cheeses.

Mine's choice is usually roast lamb, but she can put up a good show with most other farang food...needed a bit of training mind you.

Ms. B lived abroad for a number of years and worked as a waitress in hotel restaurants, so she's well familiar with non-Thai food. She usually avoids beef and only does cheese if it's on top of a pizza. Doesn't like the smell of lamb. We have peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat bread every morning for breakfast, but only have Western food now and then.

We're finally going to be moving in to a house with a kitchen (fingers crossed) so we'll soon see what sort of non-Thai dishes the two of us cook up.

after introducing them to her, my thai friend loved marmite on toast - and cheddar cheese on jacobs cream crackers.
i was very surprised and disappointed that my cheese stocks would run out so fast.

i had always thought that marmite was only palatable by those who had been force fed it as children. seems i was wrong

Mine's as comfortable with a steak as Isaarn food. About all she doesn't like is thick crust pizza, and chips.
She still sometimes orders Thai in a western restaurant if thats what she feels like though.
But having lived in HK and Australia, she's pretty versatile.
