Horizondave Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Not really a photo of a meal but something that happened in Tesco yesterday. Saw this cheese below and asked how much it was as it had no price, assistant spoke with a supervisor who said it shouldn't be on sale as it was from the deli and was meant to be cut up into smaller pieces. Looked to me like they were going to throw it as the deli had closed down a few weeks back so I said it was my wife's mother's favourite cheese (yeh right!) and how much was it, she retorts that there is no price so it wasn't for sale. I just carried on and said I was willing to give her something for it and she just handed it to me and said OK just give it to your wife's mother. I said are you sure and she said no problem, I walked away with a smirk as it was a lovely piece of cheese. Found out from the assistant that it should be sold at £10 a kilo. It was exactly 1 kilo and best before 10 October. Nice white Stilton with mango and ginger, lovely. Absolute result. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am used to eating Pla Nin in many places but always buy the largest as the flesh tends to sit above the bone and is easy to eat (scrape off the bone) without fighting with a carcass. There is a place at Food court on Soi 88 in Hua Hin that do some of the best Pla Nin, always they buy the largest size and for 155 baht with all the trimmings it makes for a wonderful and bone free eating experience. Of course having a Thai lady feeding you helps. Thanks for that tip ! Good to know when I'm in HH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is any one food I am sure to eat every day it is cheese. Orange juice, tea, and cheese..... absolute daily.

barsie Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 For a 195b every day Beer Garden do a decent fish and chips. Its unspecified fish (which I have no problem with as it’s more honest than places passing off fish which seems falsely labelled) with great crunchy batter. A good feed. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Spice Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Pork loin, mash and spinach. The spinach was not a great success, myself not a fan but I wanted to give it another try. On the banned list from now on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not easy to find decent, tender pork meat here, even in Bali (which is Hindu). I buy this at Carrefour. Seeing the presentation with lard and rope, I think the butcher was trained by a westerner. In the rest of Indonesia, 90% muslim, forget it....Chicken, chicken, goat, beef.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangme Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Another chow mein today. Beef and chicken wet chow mein. They cook this in a different way from dry chow mein. Two woks, noodles in one and veg, meat in the other. They make a sauce, add it to the veg/meat. Noodles in the container, veg,sauce,meat on top. Very nice flavour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxyhog Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 My missus calls this Pork & Chicken Hot Thai Special,not sure if I've ever seen it in Thailand but it was on her menu when we used to flog Thai food in the Isle of Man. All I can say is that it is really superb & you're guaranteed ringsting in the morning. An absolute essential is a good vin blanc. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
