I think I found one of his toes in my spaghetti tonight, strangely enough it tasted like Italian sausage...

Homemade (Prego Free) gravy with Italian sausage artfully garnished with Thai basil, served in a plastic bowl.

At £6.99 a bottle it’s hardly a great sacrifice.

No if that's all you spend on a bottle, i was referring to not drinking it.

Anyway, we ventured to a place, "We Cafe" less than a km up the road from us, and from which we frequently have take aways.

I had a tuna and boilded egg baguette (not had from here before, now on the take away list)

Very nice!:)
It must be a pleasure to be able to have a cold beer with your food again.
Here in Khon Kaen, you still can't but many of the places we frequent know us, and give me one anyway, but it is in a metals container so that no one else knows what it is,.
Ho ridiculous! any way hopefully this will also be over in KKC soon.

Currently, here in Phuket alcohol in restaurants is completely legit. We're lunch people rather than dinner anyway, so a couple of beers (great if draught), maybe a wine, and even a cognac and coffee to round things off is fine. M'Sahib doesn't drink at all, so no constraints re driving home. What really puts me off going out though, is the lack of atmosphere, even though we don't frequent typical tourist areas, it just isn't a pleasure going anywhere, masked up, and service is what appears occasionally in slow motion.

I'm far more comfortable in my own home, eating and drinking what I want, good TV/film selection. Yes, interaction with others is great, problem is that the sole topic of conversation is how crap things are and akin to a Samaritans meeting. Doesn't do it for me, head for home and dial up season 5 of "The Wire", check out the fridge, walk the dogs, twist the neck of a Regency bottle, trust that the San Miguel in the fridge hasn't gotten TOO cold. I look forward to more social time with my friends here if and when some form of normality returns, or at least I can have them over for lunch or dinner without the risk of a SWAT team of local volunteers raiding my house.

Just a suggestion, but give the aforementioned i'd imagine friends would throw the odd lunch/diner get together.

I'd nibble on PAG's naans.

But frankly, who wouldn't?

Oui monsieur! La crisp butty! C'est un classique des rosbifs!

I think the bag of mini Milky Bars and the can of Leo also gives it, umm, a certain Je ne sais quoi.

A bit of a spicy lunch today . . . with rice. There are quite a few Asia supermarkets around with Malaysian/Singaporean foods - handy.

vegetarian meatballs . . . It may not sound good, but the flavour is quite nice, it's not supposed to be a meat-substitute, just adds a firm texture similar to meat; mushroom and tofu. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it

Chop them up in quarters

Add fish tofu

and

add carrots and onions and we get this:

I presume he's implying the white bit of the floret which is inside the head and covered in gravy looks old, understandable set against frozen veg. Him and the little gang who exploit third world labour need to find something to occupy them when they aren't pulling wings off flies or shutting kittens in dark cupboards. :)

Streak burger for me, khao pad talay for the better half, and a car/bike collection that would make any rev-head say Holy Fuck!

The food was good, the collection great, some more pics of that in the Classic Car thread soon.

The ribeyes are quite good, too.
