Ask Timba......

Mr Pot

He's working, I need to know now - I've got a Villa Market, Foodland Near me will they sell? I'm not going unless I know for sure

Loy Toy

My missus makes the best Pizza in Thailand, hence all the neighbours kids are around. She makes the pizza base and then buys everything fresh and her seafood special is my favourite.

Yes the kids ended up winning the fight for the TV (as always) and I didn't see the end of the race.

I think Ferrari with the spanish cnut won it easily. Gotta get another TV or get rid of the kids! Anyone want to adopt any?

Marmite the Dog

They will mince some stewing steak for you if they haven't got any on display.

Mr Pot

Got my mince from foodland, now how do I make patties - whats the adding egg business.

I don't cook very often if at all

pickel

^,^^^^, &^^^^^^I think I now know what the "pot" stands for in your name. Got the munchies, have we?

Mr Pot

foking starving; just finished my masterpeice and now devouring it; piece of piss to make too at around 40 baht for 2 one inch mother fokkers .

Oh bollox I forgot to cook the cheap ass bacon to throw on top....

Happy days though

The Fresh Prince

How did you make them?

Mr Pot

100 grm ground beef (I got two fairly sized buggers from this; otheres would need more as I prefer drink and only have a small appitiete at best of times)
1 egg 1/4 cup milk
Chopped onions
mixed peppercorn

Whack it in a bowl
knead it together
take it out and make some patties about an inch thick
fry the mothers until cooked throughout

You can do other shit to such as adding to the mix breadcrumbs, cheese mushrooms - anything really; you could try mexican burgers reall by adding peppers and different spice to the mix.

Too be honest my burgers turned out a bit on the dry side so I think the quality of the meat needs to be questioned. Lean stuff gets too dry too quickly.

The egg and milk are there solely to get the bad boys to stick together when cooking.

The Fresh Prince

I made my own burgers years ago, I think the mix was along the same lines. They took bloody ages to make (dunno why) and then they were crap and dry.

I reakon if you asked the butcher in villa he'd make um.

jandajoy

add diced, fatty bacon and diced onion.

Jet Gorgon

Leftover pizza.

Timber

Go to Thai French Butchery near Prom Pong Bts. Tell them to grind some sirloin for you and cut some fat from the ribeyes they have laying around to mix in with it. Great burger.



Sometimes if you over mix the meat then you'll endup with this problem. If you just combine it enough to get the seasonings mixed in then patty them you'll get a nice juicy burger that cooks quickly.

A good Bar-BQ sauce is always a nice compliment.

To keep moist and add a unique flavor, mix water and vinegar at a 50-50 ratio in a bottle with a mist spray cap and before and after you turn the burgers (or chicken or ribs or whatever) spary the meat with with the 50-50 spray mix... Ciao!

Ok sounds great, cheers Timba too. To be honest I ate my burger and threw it up after downing a Singh and chain smoking cigarettes, I've still along way to come but I'm determined to make a beauty soon

Jet Gorgon

For burgers, I always found if you add an egg, you have to add some bread crumbs to hold them together. Never heard of adding milk. I just use leanish mince, smashed garlic, salt and pepper. Mix together, roll in balls, squash flat into patties, and let sit in the fridge (cover with waxed paper if you have it or plastic wrap) for a few hours. Remove from fridge about an hour before cooking and then BBQ or even pan fry. Drain off the fat or put on paper towels.

Pasta tonight, Macaroni with a chicken and tomatoe sauce. Grated cheese and fresh basil.
Even she liked it. As did the bloody neighbours who were introduced to "Itarian food" for the first time.

Still a cheese sarny will fill the gaps.

Deck Ape

Hey look at that. Pasta for me too. Lunch and dinner. MMMMMM

jandajoy

Love pasta. No chance tonight though. It's the village fete / festival / piss up so I guess we'll be grazing the stalls for the evening. Good stuff but.
An afternoon look produced loads of Falang!
Bastards, get out of my village.......
