^ Got to disagree with that one Nige. Those sausages look like they're heaving with flavour, he's got some fresh spuds and frozen veg are known to be just as healthy as fresh and even more so in some instances, depending on how long the fresh ones have been in transport & on the shelves.

You're being a bit of a food snob I reckon.

I am assuming ( mabe wrongly) you live in a land where you have access to a vast variety of fresh veg all you have come up with is some frozen veg + some packet chemical concoction disguised as gravy + some processed sausage with God knows what in ?????? really mate are you serious ??

Sit on me and squash me if I am wrong

At first glance it looks delicious but have to agree with Nig, if you are in Thailand why buy frozen vegetables from NZ when the local market has all sorts of fresh alternatives?

A few points in my own defense:
(1) As much as I love to cook, it's usually only for myself as my Thai GF prefers local food and believes that anything more than a small taste of Farang food will make her fat!.
(2) This being the case, I like making myself quick simple meals.
(3) As correctly pointed out by others, frozen veg like this has the same taste and nutrition as same-day-picked in most cases according to plenty of nutritionists. My diet has plenty of fresh fruit and veg in it so to me, putting a cup full of snap-frozen veg on the side of a plate now and then is no problem at all.
(4) I know exactly what's in the sausages, cook them to medium-rare, and wish some "Master Butcher" () in Thailand would/could make ones like these which I have cryovaced in packs of 5, freeze, and bring home each year Famous Thick Rump Sausages - Cav's Steakhouse, Kitchen and Butchery

Just saying!.

Yes possibly ,, but only my honest opinion .

I just think about all the fresh variety of veg when I walk around any of the little markets and even the huge selections in Tesco,s also the very cheap cost of it all compared to what little choice we have in the UK + the exorbitant prices we have to pay for it.

BUT each to theyre own and I,m sure Hwrkx is very happy with his plateful .

BTW your GF is correct for not eating farang food to keep her slim , mine has put the weight on over here eating our same old same ,, allthough its fair to say we eat about 75% Thai food .

Chern Chim have cryovaced Ocker meat, so 'yes' - kind of.

Lucky lucky me ,, my little darling has cooked me some street grub and put it on the living room table ,,,,, bless her little heart it was a real taste of Thailand ,, simple food but well appreciated .

You're lucky to have a girl that can cook Nigelandjan, that looks really nice + the presentation is excellent. Looks like you're in a restaurant and have commandeered their tv remote!.

They've been in the fridge since yesterday. The marinade is just a simple mix of a few different BBQ sauces + some extras like honey, garlic, garlic salt, onion, chilies, and Tabasco to taste. Anyway, they get wrapped in an tin foil parcel and baked at low temp (about 110 C) for 3 hours or so.



The end result is the meat should be falling off the bone and the gristley bits are are soft. A bit of reserved marinade sauce poured over them and some potato salad or whatever else on the side and the job's done. I couldn't think of a much easier no-mess thing to cook that tastes this good

Can't green you at the moment but that looks lovely! Inspired....thanks

Tolsti. Hang on a minute. He's obviously bought it 'pre-packed.' He's not made it!
