Re: This Week's Shopping Deal
Everyone says one of the reasons they love Thailand is that it's 50 years behind the west ..... well .... what did our grandparents use to say ?
"We will all eat a peck of dirt before we die."
That was what our grandparents' generation used to say; a phrase which can be taken metaphorically to mean everyone will suffer some indignities and setbacks in their lifetime, but which is usually interpreted literally as meaning "Don't make a fuss about the bit of soil on your potatoes or the caterpillar on your lettuce - they're harmless." Recent studies have suggested that our modern obsessions with cleanliness and our determination not to eat a peck of dirt (or any dirt at all, come to that) could, in fact, be having a detrimental effect on our general health and immunity to disease. Exposure to bacteria and viral organisms is critical to the development of a mature immune system. By constantly cleaning and sterilising our environment, we don't give our defence mechanisms a chance to grow.
Yep, you'll probably get the sh*ts a few times whilst your stomach gets used to a bit of bacteria, but think on the bright side you will be tasting food as it was meant to be tasted without having all the goodness "cleaned" out of it, and after a while your stomach will be perfectly happy getting helpings of somtam and sticky rice from a communal bowl

Re: This Week's Shopping Deal
Animals have a much stronger immune system than peoples. Thats why they can drink the water and eat a dug up bone. And some animals are smarter than some of these human "animals". Our cat Felix won't eat anything processed. Hmm? Should we? Ants & bugs won't eat anything with chemicals. Hmm? Lay out some processed sugar and watch them run from it. Yet, soi Dogs and human "animals"will eat anything.

Re: This Week's Shopping Deal

Could someone please enlighten me as to what it is about a Bresse Chicken that commands a price of over 40 euro's a kilo in French butchers shops?
To my (all be it Pie and Mash raised) pallet, I can't think of anything about a chicken that would make me want to pay that sort of money

Re: This Week's Shopping Deal
Not a shopping deal,as such,but Sizzler in Central Plaza have currently reduced their Salad Bar from 199 baht to 139 baht.....excellent value....eat as much as you want.
Just when I thought our chance had passed,you go and save the best for last.
Re: This Week's Shopping Deal

Note I had the Fish and Chips lunchtime special but the promo on the Salad Bar was advertised both inside and outside the restaurant......

Re: This Week's Shopping Deal
If they have reduced their salad bar, does that mean they are now catering for their shorter customers

Re: This Week's Shopping Deal
The quality has been declining for a long time not a patch on what it used to be, also all the other prices should come down as they include the very poor salad bar, no little bits of meat for ages, pork, chicken and bacon was always included now nothing, last week not even potatoe salad, very poor.stattointhailand wrote: ↑February 22, 2018, 8:36 pmIf they have reduced their salad bar, does that mean they are now catering for their shorter customers

Re: This Week's Shopping Deal
Bad news for trout lovers I'm afraid. Speaking to the manager of the Royal project shop today. Apparently the current breeding pond is exhausted and being drained and the next one the fish aren't expected to be ready for the market for at least another 3 months .
