Food alone is a worthy reason to visit Thailand. Famous for its inimitable melange of aromatic ingredients, piquant flavors and razor-sharp spices, Thai cuisine ranks among the top culinary traditions in the world. From street-side stalls peddling wholesome, inexpensive meals to fine-dining establishments plating exquisite delectables on par with the world’s best restaurants, Thai food checks pretty much every box on the gastronomic spec sheet, even for the most demanding and discerning foodies. While no volume of literature would do justice to the diversity of Thai food, the following are some essential experiences that comprise a rite of passage for food lovers plotting their way around Thailand (or simply passing through the capital Bangkok). I'm enjoying it the most with my whole family while we're overseaing in Thailand.
Damo is an absolute trooper, I really felt for her Ryan, eating those 'Northern delicacies', 'eh oop tha nos'. Her face when she had to eat the brown sauce and mushy peas was a picture, and 10/10 for remembering the names, even if she got the Cornish pastie slightly wrong.
I love Domu wiliness to try the different food and her honest opinion. She don't like some of the processed stuff but really like the beet root. A+ for her being willing to try it all. She really is a great woman.
Watching you guys doing the test, I as a westerner living in New Zealand would never eat a pork pie cold, or even any pie. Common Ryan, that on a rainy day!
Don’t worry Dairy Milk tastes different in the UK now too. Cadburys was taken over by US Kraft company and they’re systematically destroying all the different chocolates that we grew up with and loved. Crème eggs are a prime example of that. I’ve not seen much uk chocolate in the supermarkets over here, but my tastes have changed and I prefer a good cheese than a chocolate bar nowadays. That said, a good tasty cheese is also something I miss from back home.
Great video Ryan! We’re in North Yorkshire right now & the first thing my husband wanted was a pork pie😂 He actually has a friend who owns a pork pie shop in Pattaya but we have yet to check his place out when we get there this December. Funny that as a Thai person living in San Francisco where there’s a lot of different nationalities & SE Asian restaurants, I can easily satisfy my craving for those foods. After being here for a week now I’m anxious to get some Thai or Vietnamese food 😂 We have to drive to a larger place call Harrogate to get any of those foods here in n England 🏴 Thanks for sharing this vlog😊
I used to make pig in blanket in hot tub. It was pig in blanket floating in gravy in big yorkshire pudding and may be some big log chips on a side. Very easy for me to make homesick friends feel better.
Bacon on donuts are kinda common in specialty donut shops in the USA. It’s not bad. Different. Kinda like light sea salt on chocolate chip cookies. Sweet and salty. Good combo.
I was sitting here laughing as you're looking at the funny bacon wondering where the hell it came from. It's very popular to put bacon on maple frosting on the donuts here in the United States. So no they didn't just randomly drop it in a box
I think the reason he was confused is because Tesco is a major UK supermarket and we don't generally get them here, especially in Tesco but I've watched plenty of foodie shows to understand that it's quite a thing in the States 😁
Another great video👍. On a cold day, I do a pork pie in the oven with cauliflower and mashed potatoes all covered with onion sauce. That's my winter comfort food. My Mrs loves mushy peas and makes her own now because she's not keen on the tinned ones.
Besides the online frozen food suppliers like villa market and others on Lazarda so you can get Gregg’s sausage rolls delivered to your door frozen… at a cost However for example cheese scones and fruit scones you can make in ten minutes and are so easy to make. I bake my own whole meal bread, scones, baked egg custard tart and Betty’s fruit rascals etc.. give it a go. (I do swap out sugar and use stevia) But why buy a can of potatoes ? My mother growing up on a remote farm in Yorkshire insisted that we all understand the ‘basics’ like sewing, darning, cooking, ironing etc… and some of it must have stuck. One thing I have found is that you can buy the ‘local’ baked beans - cheap, Hienz from Australia (labeled ‘Watties’ ) - dearer and Hienz from the UK very expensive. So are we going to see you cooking a full Sunday lunch with Yorkshire puddings for the family ? 🤔 Good vlog as usual
I found when I lived in Thailand, it was a need for different textured food occasionally. Obvs the food's a major feature of life in the Land of Smiles but I'd be hit with a sudden craving for liver & onions. Luckily, a local bar was owned by a guy who'd been a butcher in Sheffield & I'd head there for a tuck in. Served with lashings of gravy & creamy mash.
A friend of mine from GB lives over there and always tells me he craves steamed steak and kidney pudding with mushy peas ☺️ thanks for sharing ❤️🏴x
Brilliant vlog, Damo is a legend, and Otis has grown up so much. I am originally from London and when I was young, we had Daddies sauce as it was cheaper than HP sauce and I loved it. Pork Pies and pasties are still my favorites, but the ones you get in Australia are nothing like the good old UK ones. When I et to go home I also like to get pie and mash in east London. OMG I could go on forever. You have both done so well with what you have achieved. Have a great day.
Take HP sauce on our holidays cause you can’t always find it where you are! As a Canadian I tried Missy peas with my fish and chips in London and dint like them !!crazy cause I like plain cooked peas
Great episode, Damo is funny! BTW do you slso notice that you est more with a spoon and bowls than Forks knives and plates? It was brought to my attention on my recent visit to America. Keep up the great work ❤
I want my comfort foods from home once in awhile no matter where I am, and no matter how wonderful the local food is. Maple bacon donut is a flavor of donut in the US. Never had one. Lol
Maple flavored and bacon doughnut heard of them but I don't know if I would like it lol Damo is a great sport trying things from the UK ! I LOVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP!! 22:17 I would take a tiny bite lol just to see if I like it!! I think Tis liked his treat! THAI FOOD IS SO FRESH SO MANY VEGGIES! AND YOU ENJOY HAVING YOUR FOOD FROM HOME THAT WAS FUN! YOU HAVE SOME BIG MARKETS BY you I thought you were far far away from markets like that!! So it is interesting to see or SEE if they have like Italian food PLACES pizza and other foods from other countries and how they compare to their real countries food, like can you get a good pizza around where you live? OH you do have those markets you can get a lot of things at and street food like! Fun video!! Thanks Damo and Ryan!
When we were kids as a weekend treat, we’d fry up any stale jam doughnuts in the same pan as what was used for the fry up. Cut them in half like you would a bun and add them to the pan for a few minutes. They soak up all the bacon and sausage juices. From memory they were yummy. Been a few decades since those times, but it was a way to use up any left overs, rather than chucking food out! I hope you put the pork pie in the oven to crisp up the pastry after being frozen. Nothing worse than soggy pastry on a pork pie 💩
Now, a middle-aged Geordie, but when I was at uni my best pal was from a British expat family living in Hong Kong. I was lucky enough to see old-fashioned expat life. The family would receive a monthly 'British Expat Box' complete with food items, videos of documentaries, soap operas & kids shows various UK bits and bobs. Also, back in the day. You could order (minimum 1 x case - 24 cans) of Heinz Baked Beans and Brits would often gather all over the great capitals of the world for 'Beans on toast' parties. Anything less than fresh sliced white bread and Lurpak and you were deemed a poor host. After years in China, white bread cheeseburgers with locally bought mince, beans on toast and fried Spam sandwiches provided me with my home comforts.
Make your own British food or order most online. I have made many Scotish food like Black Pudding, Potatoe Scones, Meat pies, beetroot and pickled onions you can get most ingredients here. I also make my own Indian pastes like Tandoori
Great video. After many years in Thailand I am a bit like you regarding Thai food. I really do fancy some nice English(UK) stuff on occasions. I have ordered English/Australian food online from within Thailand. Frozen foods mainly. But generally disappointed with the quality. The shipping is also a pain as the carriers are a bit hit and miss with frozen goods. Here in Phetchabun the local Lotus's and Macro don't carry much for the English palate. I notice you didn't advertise your "secret" supplier. Guess I will just have to watch you and Damo sampling the pork pie and pasty again!!😀
I love Thai food. However, having traveled the world I've not met many cultures that are as staunchly against trying anything that is not native to them. It's equally surprising when I meet expats living In Thailand that don't eat Thai food.
My wife came to UK in 1979 and it was very difficult to get Thai food,we used to go to Gerrard Street ever two weeks.Sometimes she got frustrated but enjoyed living in rural England more than in Thailand.
Brilliant video!!, the once a month binge is a must for me well sort of.. not as much as you spent but a little indulgence of the home comforts now and again never hurts... and love the Thai food but makes a nice change..
Covid was the best thing to happen. I LEARNED TO COOK 😂. Now there is nothing I miss even my ethnic local foods from Hawaii.My wife cooks my favorite Thai foods, but now i eat less fried foods And hopefully more healthy foods RU-vid cooking tutorials and recipes are amazing! Whatever Makro, Villa market and Lotuss's doesnt have can be found on Lazada and Shopee. Theres really nothing to miss anymore!!!
We have found shopping in UK supermarkets for meat isn't that much more expensive.Tesco in Thailand is finished it's now gone back to it's old name Lotus.
To enhance your nostalgic culinary experience, eat in a room with a window when it's bucketing down outside and the air conditioner Set to anything less than 18 degrees . 555 On a serious note, do Thais get into pickling? I'm thinking onions, gherkins, eggs or off the shelf Branston and Piccalilli etc. All, to most Brits, a great enhancer to pies, salads and anything with chips.
I like HP brown sauce, but due to the sugar content rarely have any. The family like Gold Star Chip Shop style Brown sauce 0.4g per 100g sugar! ( Walter Black foods, Glasgow G328EX ) try it if your de-ler has some 😊. Perfect for over the chips (and adding to stovies of course, north of your north).
There's a store in BKK called Britishop. I order from them twice a month and delivery happens in chilled boxes. Delivery costs around THB200 (depending on order size). Strangely, they also sell German Beer which is great because after living in Germany for 20 years, it's my favourite beer.
My wife's a great cook so i enjoy all the Thai food, she even tries a few English dishes. There used to be an English shop in Kanchanaburi that we would visit once a month as a treat but since that closed i don't know anywhere that sells the English products we like.
Ryan, try Morocco, there is only sooo many times you can eat Tangine. Lovely food, but it wears thin pretty quick. Same, same. I spent 3 years in Northampton but spent some time in Uddersfield. Them Southern Gitts wanna get some Gravy on that pigs eye. Damo's face was priceless, hilarious.
I do the same thing, only U.S. version: cans of chili, V8 tomato juice, cranberry sauce, box of stuffing, etc, etc. I have to “O.D.” on all that stuff for a couple of months and get my cravings out of my system and then I can go back to Thai food. 🤣
I moved here so young and have lived here so long that I don't really have any residual food fetishes. My wife and I love a wide variety of cuisines and can find anything we want in Chiang Rai. Being concerned more with health and fitness these days I try to avoid eating just for taste or reward so have cut back on what I eat. Most of the brands you showed were unfamiliar to me.
Hi, I completely agree ref food from UK. I myself is back in London and am putting on so much weight from food that I’ve missed! Bloody expensive though 🙏
Is that the Lotus's in NangRong? Was just there last month but now back in the states. Some donut shops here in America do put bacon on donuts now. It's been a thing now for about 15 years to put bacon on everything.
Lol I literally just had fish and chips at weatherspoons yesterday for like the thousandth time and was thinking about how I miss alot of foods from the US, so I definitely get the sentiment, its refreshing to shake things up.
Hi Ryan! Very nice video... I must be one of your rare French subscriber who doesn't despise English food. You found great things there: pork pie (maybe steak & kidney pie next for Damo to try!), fish fingers (fish & chips, with tartare sauce, so yummy!) and even HP sauce (in my hotel videos, I'm always in awe when there is HP sauce for breakfast). But honestly, mushy peas? Or, worse, lamb with mint sauce? Poor animal! 🤣 And do they have crumpets? What about desserts: jelly, floats, strawberry fool or knickerbocker glory?
Very true. My Thai-American daughter and I both like to have Western food one or more times during the week. We make Mexican-American food at home regularly because my daughter enjoys that. Surprised to hear you say, "Pop it in the oven". I wish I was spoiled enough to have an oven.
❤❤❤everything. I can get alot of that in Sweden now. Pork Pie with Bramstone Pickle. I used to make own Cottage Pie in big dish & freeze in portions. Cornish Pasties. Its quite easy if you have oven. Damo 😂I also prefer Cornish pasty.Your Dads a baker. He would do a fantastic trade with ”British Bakers”💞💞💞💞
we had beetroot for dinner just now,roasted in the oven, then grated them mixed with sugar and vinegar, with fresh boiled potato ,my Thai wife loves it and so does our daughter, one of our staple dishes back in new Zealand,been able to find it here in Udon Thani just like broccoli and cauliflower ,as a dutchman I love spuds and vegetables as much as Thai food,it's all about balance.
Nice vlog. I love Hp sauce too but it is also very expensive though available here in Sri Lanka. Being Asian I am not surprised that Damo didn’t like mushy peas it certainly does not suite the Asian palate 😢. Enjoyed this vlog and Damo’s expressions while trying the food did make me laugh. 😂❤
Hate you😂 I’m a northerner 11 years in small town China. I get cravings for Bisto, I can get it but it takes a week to come and costs nearly £15 for 250g. It’s a rare treat. Cheese is also an issue, I have to do an hour and half round trip to get crap cheddar at silly prices.
Great video, good swag bag, you just need some good quality beef lard to make your chips with to go with your pasty's and pies. Brown sauce is a bit weird but I love it with bacon I have never tried it with dohnuts though mayby you can try it and let us know what you think 😁
Missing my American food got me in the pickle that I am in today. A few years back I said no more Thai food and built a smoker and pizza oven. Long story short, I am now busier than I ever have been in my entire life.
OH dear, I'll try not to be rude. For instance, the best pork pies I ever ate were the ones I made myself. I'll make a batch of 20 and can actually manage to deep freeze them myself. Apart from that, I think that most Farangs around Buriram know who you buy your stuff from.
Been living in thailand (surin) neariy 5 years now not really missed english food untill i watched this pork pie with mustard is prob one of the things i miss along with fish and chips originally from sheffield yorkshire
I am from India, it's difficult to get Indian flavours and food apart from big cities. Makes me yearn for Indian food. A little expensive when we eat at restaurants in pattaya / Chiang Mai / Bangkok. We prefer Indian food, but meat is predominant here. The vegetables are different compared to India too.
Thai restaurants in the UK also have to cater to western tastes. Unfortunately some of the more successful ones are never really that authentic, even with all the thai ingredients that are available. There are some really authentic restaurants but they don't really cater for where the money is, and can end up having mixed reviews because of different expectations/ pallettes.
Though I'm in the States, I very much enjoyed this video. I lived for a time in Thailand and the Philippines, so these types of videos are enjoyable. As to bacon, Maple glazed bacon doughnuts are very much a thing in America. I believe they started at Voodoo Doughnuts in Portland, Oregon. If you have the opportunity, give one a try. Sweet and savory. Blessings chefmike
As a child my mum would cook spotted Dick ( I sure you know this ) steamed pudding, jam roly-poly homemade custard , Sunday lunch roast and all the trimmings gravy and mint sauce , homemade trifle, chocolate sponge , all memories from my childhood. Unfortunately now at 70 years of age they are all memories. Here in West Wales UK we do have gravy on chips and on pies I also like gravy on Cornish pasties. As always interesting and entertaining
Hi Ryan , The first time I heared about Lions Mane Mushroom was fro you , but last night in the UK I was watching Clarksons Farm 3 and it was mention on there too.
Took a trip back to the uk some weeks ago. I've made keep cool system. On my return 4 kg of a variety of uk cheeses ( not all for me, well 3kg) and obviously BLACK PUDDING ! I know I shouldn't import, naughty boy
