Thread: Dinner

Hence the name ShrewedPunter

This is my recipe for homemade guacamole.It's pretty easy to make, season to taste with salt and pepper and chillies.

Simply dice everything up and Wallah there you have it.

I place it in smaller bowls and it becomes my lunch at work for a few days. The limes help to preserve the avocados.

You're supposed to take out the shit parts. Some don't. Whatever floats your boat I say.
Personally I'm not too keen on fish from the Mekong. I'm sure they are fine to eat if done right. I'll let you know about Tilapia on my next run. A guy up river has a huge farm and I may just buy a few off him.

This is it. Maybe I should throw some of this stuff into the "In and around Lao" thread. I've loads more material, just need time.

Toastie wraps are available here Luigi.

Pluckin lucky Pattaya-ites. Living it up with all the mod-cons.

Because it is just another farm raised shit fish. Raised in filthy fish pins and fed waste in many cases.

Being that it eats a steady diet of it and doesn't taste that much better. There are much better wild caught alternatives for not much more money.

Why make that assumption? Talapia would be the last thing I would eat if I was in Thailand.

A venture around Samut Prakarn can yield wonders.

Heading there now with me backpack and noseplug.

I'm on Srinagarindra if you fancy a beverage.

I see Talapia heavily salted with lemongrass stuffed in their mouths on just about every grill I've seen in Asia. I never really thought that much about it.

The farmer up river was feeding them pellets. Who knows what's in them.Looks to be a pretty large outfit. Makes me wonder if any of them make it to a large processor for packaging and sale around the world.

I never tried any of the grilled salted fish there. I guess one or two wouldn't hurt just to try it. It's got me thinking though. Just what are those fish balls made of that they put in the Pho.

It's not Lake Michigan Salmon you can be sure of that.

Marinade pork long enough and it could taste like anything.

On the evidence of your taste-buds that needs to be taken with a large grain of salt.

Cheers bud, but its 8:43am.



I've already started on the Johnny Walker Swing.

Here I comeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Bring around some pies for a photo shoot.

I accidentally 'misappropriated' them.

LT is not far from Prakan.

Don't forget that there are two tilapia commonly raised, sold and eaten in Thailand: Pla Nin and Pla Tapteem.

ARO use the latter.

Fking hell.

Who would have thought my 21 baht fish would cause such a commotion

Out of curiosity, did you cook it?

How was the taste and texture?
