Let's talk abut food and what we eat. Do you meticulously cut up every piece of your meal and inspect what mystery meat it is?
I had a friend over recently who was an absolute everything was trying to kill him type. Honestly, I couldn't deal with him. 'Is this chicken? I only eat chicken.' 'What is this sauce, does it have msg in it?' 'What are these vegetables?'
This was at at a Chinese restaurant here and one of the best ones. He laughed and really looked down on the whole place and said he would prefer the Japanese next door. He left there too. Bloody snobs.

I tend to stick with vegetarianism, especially in this part of the World. Chicken at a push.

Depends where I eat.
I dont expect ahaan sawoy at a soi side noodle stall.
Take a look at whats passed of as green curry in a top hotel or resto, now have a look at what the locals consider to be a green curry, a la whats served in the foodcourt of Big C or your local soi resto.
I can eat most things, but am a fussy eater, i dont like fat, skin, gristle or bones in my food.
Paid way too many dentists bills.
One night out on the p**s with the mrs and her father, sat at some soi side noodle cart, drinking and eating, had a great time.
Next morning round to the house, the father in law, sat on his haunches, cigarette in one hand, meat cleaver in the other, chopping up tripe (cows stomach), it was unbleached, I threw up.
Mrs asks, whats the problem, you were eating this last night, he thought you liked it, hence he went and bought some for your breakfast, that entailed another trip to the toilet.
That was the last time I went on the p**s with my father in law.

Not for the faint of heart, and no you wont find this recipe in the good food guide heart attack of America cook book.
I love eating deep fried chicken skin in batter with a nice spicy chilli dip, perfect beer food.

This sounds good to me.It's the recipe for an Elizabethan breatkfast.
Remember that water supplies were in those days rare and polluted. No bloody Starbucks either thank goodness!!
BEER SOUP.
Heat beer in a saucepan
Add a hunk of butter
Add cold beer
Pour mixture into a bowl of eggs
Add salt and whisck to prevent curdling
Pour mixture over scraps of bread
Serve with beer.
Bet it kept you regular too !!

If the place is clean I will try anything. ( what's wrong with tripe btw?) One thing that made me violently ill was this Russian butcher in Wanchai who was selling all sorts of Russian sausages. Really good too, until the place was shut down and a big write up in the HK mag that he was using toilet paper to plump up his sausages. Not sure what happened to him as the health department was all over him for endangering public safety. |

My helper has a recipe for beer hair conditioner. Ace lady she be, use it on the weekend, rocking up to work smelling like I've had a big night out isn't my thing. She puts an egg yolk and honey in it, olive oil.

A couple here for our lurking ''Pikey peekers"
Ancient recipe for roast hedgehog:
Gut one freshly killed hedgehog.
The animal should then be seasoned and prepared for cooking; pressed in a towel until dry, then either encased in clay or wrapped in grasses.
The meat should then be roasted and served with cameline sauce.
Modern "road kill" recipe for Hedgehog spaghetti carbonara (serves four)
500g spaghetti, 30ml olive oil, 250g lean hedgehog, 1 medium onion (chopped), 125ml water, 60ml dry white wine, 4 eggs, 60ml double cream, 100g grated parmesan cheese
• chop hedgehog into small chunks
• beat eggs and cream together in a bowl. Add half the parmesan cheese
• put pasta in boiling water
• put onions and hedgehog chunks in pan with olive oil on medium heat until onions are almost clear
• add wine and reduce heat
• drain pasta when cooked, combine it with egg, cream and cheese mix
• add meat, onions and wine without draining fat and mix thoroughly
• garnish with remaining parmesan
• serve immediately

Thanks to the both of you. I'll pass. Maybe I have an adventurous palette but hedgehogs and cow placenta is gross.

Apparently it is a delicacy in the mainland, hedgehogs, at 2000 a pop they'd better be. That's 11071.95 Thai Baht for one.
