^ nice one

You are on to something with that one Chits! Looks great!

WTF is that? Looks disgusting.

Looks Northern.

Tuna bake and gravy ennit?

It's supposed to be a chili Verde burrito, size of a chang yai, tasted ok for Thailand....

Well, it does not look like it at first glance. How old is your camera?

The camera is fine. Snub once you leave seattle and its global culinary offerings you'll discover that obtaining anything passable outside major cities can be a c⁶hallenge. It had pulled pork and Mexican rice in with cheese inside too. The sauce was surprisingly good and spicy. All for 185Thb and not in Bkk or Pats

Tunk will probably know the place

Chili Verde is not supposed to be pulled pork. It is pork shoulder slow simmered in the chili verde sauce. Something like this...

Well, I have spent my fair share of time in Mexico. Did my first junket down to the Baja when I was 17 driving an Audi Coupe GT with the driver side window busted out.

^ i'll repeat, i know what Mexican food is. This is what you can get locally.

some of us that don't live in Merca have made it there, probably first time when you were in nappies, me 85' i was a late starter.

I cooked meat (beef) kabsa. Basically, a biryani from the Middle East (Saudi).

^ very nice Hal, I'd love to learn how to cook dishes like that

Inasal tonight...Old dead chicken, pork and chorizo. Keto night for me.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm pork and chorizo...

Good stuff topper- even if it is missing the big chunks of bread!

Here, they pick off the meat by hand and eat it with rice.

Yesterday I realised that we hadn't had pork chops for yonks... so I did something about it!



Another regret from my recent pilgrimage is that I forgot to bring back any apple sauce. So mango chutney it was.

This jar had Reg Dingle's name on, but I ended up bringing it back to Korat.



Money...

While I spent the summer back in the UK it was really nice to get back in the habit of eating family meals around a proper table, just like when I grew up. My daughter enjoyed it and I promised that we would continue to do this at least once a week on our return to Korat.

There are also many aspects of Thai family life that appeal to me, although for the life of me I can't think of a single fukkin one of them right now.

Today it was a Sunday roast chicken, of course.

I was all set with the daughter to tuck in, but when I went to carve the bird it was a bit pinkish inside. The temperature gradations on our convection oven have worn off and I think I cooked it a bit under-temperature.



This was a major piss-off... but I returned the chicken to the oven and everything else to bowls to be microwaved.

Forty-five minutes later... the main event.



Five veg in one meal, right there. I may fail in some things but I have the daughter eating lots of veg... way more than most of her peers.



Money...

Somebody needs to explain money shot to you…


mm And you do realise you can make your own apple sauce?

^^ that looks great, and sausages too.

Those little sausages seem to vary from province to province. The illocanos claim.theres is the best the ones in the pic are , chorizo negrense? Doesn't matter. There all tasty rascals

Roast chicken for dinner it is then Mendip!

Very nice.

Just back from a local "Scottish" pub. Had fish and chips...



I took some shots of the pub, but it was dark, and we were getting pissed up, so they were not good.

Did they have Tennent's Lager on tap?
