Thread: Breakfast

The skill might be in cracking 6 eggs without breaking a yolk!

^One by one into a shallow bowl or saucer then pour them gently into the pan from there. Fuck-ups can be relegated to the fridge for scrambled eggs the next morning, job done

Good point. Just need to pick up the tomatoes.

^Seriously, please do post how you go with this. I'd like to have a go too and get some extra garlic/chili flavour into one, but you first!

So crap in Thailand though, aren't they.

Perhaps a mix of fresh cherry and a good Italian canned brand like Cirio might be best.

I'd bung in fresh basil too.

They were all wearing combat shorts, flip flops and Chang wifebeaters, right?

^No they were all Thai. Not counting us there were 15 customers at the time both inside and sitting outside on the terrace (no prob to do so in the current cool weather) and the breakdown was 11 Thai / 4 Farang. I wouldn't have though a French style Cafe would be so popular with the locals, but seeing it every time we go there is believing.

Looking forward to your report with pictures.

Cyrilles crowning glory of 15 years on Thai forums was posting a pic of his upside down tomatoes, we are not worthy

The recipe in DD's post calls for a can of tomatoes which will almost certainly be imported anyway, but let's not stop that being a trigger point to have a whine about local tomatoes which are fine anyway if you don't live in a fucking cave and have access to local markets and supermarkets. But yeah Cyrille, you seem to know a lot about cooking and offering advice on how to go about it so let's see your take on this dish.

Not back here again.

Btw for the record.
They were 4 beef tomatoes going somehow into a curry

Is there any comment, however mild it may be, that doesn't trigger you these days?

You successfully pretended you had a pretty good life some time way back when.

Now you're spending your time on stuff like googling how many 'five guys' restaurants there are in the UK to try and prove people wrong.

And all because some English girls bullied you at school, you sad twat.

^See this is where no-life fucktards like you amaze me. There's been a good post with a recipe put up and you've decided that there must be something to whine about in it, so you've decided to inform us the local tomatoes are no good (even though they are fine) and the recipe calls for tinned tomatoes. Think about that.

So then when someone points out you're a whine-fest fuckwit, because you are, you have to say it's them that have problems. Wasn't me that decided to add something totally irrelevant to the thread just so I could put a tick beside another post that needed whining about, so get back under the house you insignificant fucking mutt and shut it. Thanks.

They are indeed at this time of year, at least in the local markets up in the NE. I managed to find some half decent ones up here yesterday but they were expensive at B90/kg

I've been using the imported Cirio...

^We get good tomatoes year-round here, am never without a few nice ones in the fridge.

Just got back from Big C.



YUM!

Well we now see Foodland has much better tomatoes than Big C. I last shopped at a Big C over 25 years ago.

It’s not just Big C.

It’s how tomatoes are here much of the time.

Hence my comment.

And apparently it’s the same where Troy is.

"Soft rock" playing in the background, I hope.

Big C Extra here typically has far better looking tomatoes than whatever that 5th rate crap is posted above, but Foodland always does. Foodland here has these all year round too, and they're always excellent.



I seriously couldn't live anywhere in Thailand that you've got to take whatever you can get when it comes to weekly staples like fruit/veg/beef/lamb. Fuck that.

These are from the local market, better than Big C or Tesco Lotus here. The ones at Tops in Sakon Nakhon were the same but they did have some nice cherry tomatoes. There is a Foodland in Udon so I might pop in and see at the end of the week.
Tomatoes are grown for their seeds here and should be ready after the New Year. That's when they are worth buying...

Here's one from my fridge right now for comparison purposes.




And the cherry tomatoes the Missus bring home from the local market for the food she makes at home (that I happily snack on too, they're very nice).


And something else in the fridge ready for whenever I want to cook it.

Yes, one could maybe complain 10-20 years ago about the availability of western-style produce.

Though, Thai universities, the royal project, and the private sector have really upped their game.

One can even find Thai-grown alfalfa sprouts, which go great on a toasted tuna sandwich.
