Breakfast

Been a while since we had a family get together – last one was a wedding October of last year. At the family get togethers we are the hotel for our out-of-town residents. They arrived yesterday and today.

Cooking breakfast falls on the Falang. Always get rave reviews – pretty simple really – high cholesterol content always tastes good. Scrambled eggs, their choice not mine. Ham slices, hot dogs and toast.

A dozen eggs scrambled with a splash of 100% milk, corn oil and a chunk of butter. Can’t get simpler. The family loves it – gorging until not a crumb is left. Of course, accompanied with none stop conversation. A good time had by all. Shopping is the plan-of-the-day.

Looks great, but as pointed out missing the black pudding.

^ Looks shite.

^Sorry but the whole black pudding thing is way to fuck outside my taste parameters :(

Having said that, at pretty much any of these places in Pattaya that do breakfasts like this you can order a brekky where it comes as standard or have some added for about 30 Baht. If I order a breakfast where it comes as standard, they'll happily switch it out for an extra sausage or bacon on request.

^ I do the opposite and switch a sausage for an extra black pudding. That is unless I'm with a couple of mates, and then the law of averages means that at least one of them will normally give their black pudding up without a struggle. :)

Same with the beans.

^The beans are great! Cut the snags into bite size pieces then dip them in the beans, truly one of life's little pleasures :)

You just stick to 3 Bud Lights for breakfast and leave baked beans for those who want to use a knife and fork :)

Probably a welcome alternative to those eggs. :sad:

Sunday snags and eggs.

Had a couple of early morning errands to run this morning, so well timed for an outside breakfast, which for us is quite rare. Venue of choice was "Poached", a breakfast cafe only a few hundred metres from our house.

I went for one of their pulled pork wraps (pulled pork, smashed avocado, lettuce, tomato salsa), with sides of hash browns and mushrooms.

M'Sahib went healthy, with a fruit type muesli, with banana bread on the side.

Decent coffee helped it go down.

Mmmmm.... Looks good!

Bangkok Bob's English Pork Sausages. :tumbs:

Only 109b for 6 and they're superb.

^Went looking for them in Big C, they have loads of Bangkok Bob products but no snags :(

Not to worry though, Manstons epicure to the rescue this morning and fuck they're good :)

So why the unhappy face?

^Because I had no baked beans in the cupboard :)

Cornflakes with hot milk for the first time in around 3 decades.

HW you have been getting more and more artistic with your food shots. Are you doing this now?:) Looks great.

^There's this fuckin newbie called Mendip who's raised the bar so high, I've had to contact him by PM for tips and pointers. As per his instructions, I've bought 9 tins of baked beans and a bag of frozen peas this morning to practice with.

Not exactly donky..

Eat what you want , when you want.

Dinner won't be for several hours yet:)

Your toast to egg ratio is well off.

Fair enough, but I'm trying a high protein, low carbs diet at the moment.

^ stop drenching your food in such lot of sauce that you usually have in your food pics. :)

It is not the sausage but the sauce that makes the stomach big said the girl..

Hungry as heck so finally whipped up a nice big full breakfast. Went down quickly.

^Yeah that'll work :)

Bought a whole NZ Tenderloin recently (380 Baht a Key @ Siam Expat Food, who I believe have a delivery service for areas of Thailand now). So after letting it thaw in the fridge enough to be able to portion, I hit it with a blade this morning.

The small end was fully thawed, so into the pan they went.
Attachment 61710

Had a thought that the big half of one of these left whole and cooked in the oven would make a seriously nice and tender roast beef 🤔

Eggs Royale washed down with French bubbly...

M'Sahib wanted to christen her new griddle pan this morning, so burgers were the option for brunch.

The top lid arrangement certainly seems to help with cooking the meat right through.

The chef's conveyor belt. That's homemade BBQ and Tartar sauces.

I have an old and battered egg poacher my mother gave to me years ago. Similar to the pic below but lid isn't glass.
