This badboy's about ready to go into the deep fat fryer, wrapper n'all.

Might need a few more seconds.

^Find that burrito truck again then bring the burritos home and make yourself some chimichangas.

[Luigi]

On it.

^^^^^^Always reminds me of this clip. Must have watched it 50 times now and still giggle at it

Is salsa the same as hamburger relish?

[bsnub]

^ Umm you really should not have sauteed the onions before cooking the mince beef.

I'd live with it.


You gonna have buns too, or are you on a diet?

[SKkin]

No...not here anyway. Hamburger or hotdog relish is all green and made of pickle mostly. Chicago has day-glo relish.

[Dillinger]

are you on a diet?

Im only eating one of those burgers.. Unfortunately

It is mighty damn fine though

[Dillinger]

I like them caramelised and charred

6/10 as there is no bacon.

First time I've saw cordial in Thailand last week.
I bought the passion fruit one then. Both are nice and really refreshing and in 7/11.

A better way to dtink 2 or 3 litres of water a day.

Bugger.. I was in the supermaket drooling over the toppings. Didnt think of bacon
I did see one burger relish but it was pink.

Ok, now I'm hungry. Looks very good. You might catch it for your cheeze whiz.


Was just looking around, apparently some folks idea of hamburger relish does look a lot like salsa. I hear relish and I think green pickled cumcumber relish. Might be a regional thing.

Those jalapeno slices you have there are exactly like the ones I add to my salsa. Just different brand.

I remember it being red in the UK. I think it has gherkins added. I nearly picked up a jar of sliced gherkins but they were about 7 bucks

It soon starts working out cheaper to eat out here.
That one burger cost me 40 baht for the patty, 20 baht for the bun, 10 baht for the slice of cheese. About 20 baht for the jalapenos and salsa.
Not too bad I guess

Bacon on burgers is good. But if I'm grilling them I don't usually want to mess around with frying up bacon too so I just skip it. Keep em pretty simple. Mayo, mustard, slice of tomato and lettuce. Truth be told, usually cheese like Dillinger's. It's easy.

Damn! That's robbery.

They like to call it import tax

Roger that I do understand he was pan frying so that is different. On the grill all you need it a nice bit of tinfoil folded on the edges to contain the grease. Super easy. Actually it is easier than doing it in the house.

'The fuck are you on about?. Have you been living next door to Jeff all this time??


The small bottles of concentrate are in a wicker basket on the cashiers counter at Siam Expat Food, they have some big bottles too but they also have them at Siambury's for much cheaper.

Yes indeed plain old water gets boring real fast if you're drinking a lot of it. These Robinson's cordials are the way to go, zero calories, about 10 different flavors (depending on stock) and they all taste great. Mixing some into a big glass of soda-water and ice works really well too.

Doesn't to me as long as it is icy cold. I keep several big bottles of cold water in the fridge as well as a bowl of ice in the freezer that is stocked daily from my ice trays. Always got the icy cold at my place.

Best I can tell you seem to get better deals on meats there. Like those rib eye steaks HW posted the other day. Those would cost me a small fortune here. I'd rather have that...fuk the pickles.

[Dillinger]

Have you been living next door to Jeff all this time??

Yeah I've seen those in Villa and all the expat.shops but never a Thai squash and sold in 7/11

[Dillinger]

Apart from that Hellaboy stuff
Which is for milkshakes aint it?

Yeah nah, I'll file cold water in the same folder as white rice. It's ok if there's no choice, but.....
