Really? We buy a 23kg sack and it lasts about three months. We are four but my wife is the main consumer by far. But in fact it is not much cheaper than 1kg in the next supermarket only the quality is far superior.

My wife too and she prepares it all the time. But that love stops short of skipping the rice to go with it.

Thanks for the post. Makes me feel pretty good to know we did pretty well this year with 2 ton of sticky rice on 6 rai of land. Our planting was not done traditional Thai with planting and then transplanting. Rather we just hand seeded and let it grow. We did fertilizer a couple times during the growing season.

OK. I got some more accurate figures.

From 25 rai they produced about 5.1 tonnes.

Thats a fair bit of income Marmite , my missus has just bought 6 rai of rice , dont think we,ll get very fat off that income but with her rubber trees it will all help.

40% went to the landowners and the rest will be eaten by the family.

Hi Natalie.
Yes, I forgot about that.
She put the kybosh on it in the end, she was worried she'd end up with something she doesn't like.
We actually found a little shop here that stocks a lot of those brands at a fraction of the price, though the ranges and sizes are limited.
I think they're factory over runs or stuff that fell off the back of a truck.
She ended up with a jacket, brand name Monsoon. I never heard of it but my English mates wife reckons it's a brand so what do I know.
The equivalent of GBP17.

Well done.

This is from Friday the 11th, ah 11/11/11. This is in Fujairah, which is on the east coast of the UAE. I'll start a thread on it later, once I finish my UK thread, hee hee. This small island is called Snoopy Island because it looks like Snoopy lying on his back. You can only get the full view from the hotels, so this is from an angle.
