I have eaten scorpions, crickets, frogs, cow shit, blood soup and sausage, bamboo grubs, chicken intestines and a lot of other stuff. Never, ever, however, would you get me to eat this c@#p a second time. (First and last time 12 years ago). Sorry, I didn't leave Europe to dive into a McD's at the first opportunity, I realised that this place was abroad.

Hey, I  am an American and I don't eat at MacDonalds. However, my son loves to eat there. It must be his Thai half that loves the fast junk food.

Merry Christmas to everyone there in Thailand.

Did you ever try it, Isaan food? Quite good until your giggling Thai friends tell you what it is. Burgers don't generally contain the best cuts of meat, which is why I make them at home if I feel in dire need. Very easy to make, which makes me wonder what they do to the stuff to make it taste so bad. I never found any decent beef in Thailand, so I now I no longer bother.

davu ... Makro Buriram have a reasonable selection of frozen beef. I really like their steaks, usually 4 steaks in a frozen pack. Make sure you take your selection to the "meat section"  weigh station, as they need to weigh it and put a barcode on it, then you tramp all the way to the checkout at the front of the store and join the queue.

First time, I didn't realise frozen pack had no barcode, and then stood in line for 10mins waiting to checkout, only to be told "can't scan .... no barcode !!" .... so back to the meat section.

Bought 1kg of frozen beef mince a while back for Spag Bog dinner. After cooking the mince, I drained nearly 2 Coke cans of fat from the frypan !! Must have weighed nearly 500g of fat !! So, I will look elsewhere for beef mince !!

But the steaks are really AROY

I usually buy my spaghetti beef mince in Friendship supermarket Pattaya on my infrequent visits. Freezes well, and very little fat content. I buy pitta bread there too - nice to dip in the bolognese sauce.

Post by: Jamaw on December 25, 2012, 09:16:05 AM

I like burgers and meatballs and make my own. Mc Donalds is poor quality and their coffee is shit as well. But I wouldn't buy anything from them or Starbucks for political reasons no matter how good their products were.

I have been to the beef market in Buriram at 3am and the meat, which looked alright, was inedible for me. I must get a set of dentures one of these days. Mind you, the Cambodians eat buffalo meat and that is almost impossible to eat even if you do 'it it wiv an 'ammer.

What is your take on the "beef" ranch Choc Choi...not sure of spelling.  If one wanted to put some beef in the freezer for an occasional steak dinner, would this be the place to go?

I stopped at the Choc Choi eatery a few years back, didnt think much of the beef.  Where would one go to get a few beef cuts to put in the freezer?  Quality beef.
