A Chicken Christmas Dinner

**stroller** · 25-12-2006, 06:00 PM

Since I am still comparatvly sober, let me be the first to start apictyre thread.

Well, we cauhg 3 chickens yesterday, 2 have been hung, plucked and gutted:

The 3rd one escaped somehow, so the boys went on a hunt erlier:

**stroller** · 25-12-2006, 06:42 PM

Anyway, they went and bought another vhicken and a kilo of beef, the chicken forme to do my thing. A bit late in the day, so i just throw it in a pot with some veges and spices. The feet and guts I pasts on to the other cooks.

The paste for one chick, salt, cumin and khra tai:

The other one is chopped up,

and gets different spices, adding garlic, kapi and chillie:

very interesting pics stroller. think i prefer just to go down to the supermarket though. i expect my son would enjoy a chicken hunt like that

couldn't you get any rats?

**dirtydog** · 25-12-2006, 07:27 PM

Rats were last weeks menu

I was thinking of visiting stroller but of course the main worry is what to do about food, I mean I have nothing against killing animals, well in my younger days, used to quite enjoy the hunt and all that, just the thought of actually eating them afterwards puts me off a bit, cant beat supermarkets can you

I remember when my mate joined the navy, they had to do a survival course in English woodland, now in the Autumn there really aint a lot to eat there, so 7 days into this course they are all obviously starving hungry, twigs and flowers dont make a good stew, so the nice instructor gathered them all round in a circle and held out a big cardboard box and explained he had brought them some proper food, he then put the box down and let out a dozen cute white bunny rabbits, grown men with tears in their eyes as they club the cute little bunnies to death

**stroller** · 25-12-2006, 09:59 PM

Well, it's a 'boyscouts' sort of thmg, wasn't into it as akid, with them kiddie foddling cheersleaders around, but I enjoy it now.
Well, now the interesting part of the evening:

THe "Gai Pip" is just about ready, hammer a wooden stick into the ground and tie the bird to it:

Put a flame-proof bucket over it and seal with mud:

ready

**stroller** · 25-12-2006, 10:09 PM

Cover the art-work with straw and set light to it:

Can't recall what this picwas abooat, but looks nice anyway:

**stroller** · 25-12-2006, 10:15 PM

Enough for now, you might wonder why I'm online right now - well, it isn't a holiday 'round here, they've all fekked off home, my cousine in law said he was gonna get his bong out and be back in a minute, watching my heavy-meatl vids.
He fellasleep in his house, apparently; shouldn;t feed the buggers too miuch Lao Kao, really.
Then my missus unplugged the DVD player and is watching her Thai, soaps.now.

Happy X-mas!

Coolio.

Just a harmless wind-up there, DD

At work, unfortunately...

That's true, but there should be an increasing number of absolutely sober posts in the new year. And I don't think I've messed up with this thread, a few typos are not the end of the world.

Actually I enjoyed the chicken dinner pictures. It looked tasty!
Nothing wrong with killing it and grilling it!

**stroller** · 26-12-2006, 10:37 AM

Where was I at?
Oh, the fire:

Got to keep this going with straw for about 1/2 hour, a welcome source of heat and fun for the kids.

The finished product:

And dinner is ready:

Gai op fang (chicken baked in straw) is quite nice, they do that sometimes around here, although I find the "gai ban" a bit chewy

So I guess that means you two are going to be the two most boring posters on TD for 2007...

I don't mind at all, this isn't Issues.

**ThaiFarang** · 28-12-2006, 03:56 AM

We had chicken too - but I cooked it, not my wife. Or Thai guests were not impressed

**Ice Maiden** · 28-12-2006, 09:20 AM

Chickens, yummy.

.... I make a rubbish vegetarian!
