Coss Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Gents, strictly speaking a lardon is a piece of fat, pork or bacon commonly, about the thickness of a pencil and usually 4 or so inches long. It is used to add fats to dry meats like venison, goose breast &c. Using a lardon spike, holes are made in the surface of the meat and the lardons threaded through, the meat is then cooked. But as with so many classical traditions, another practise has developed. These days cubed fat is substituted and distributed in the dish achieving the same purpose and thereto cubed fat is now termed lardon. Having a fag hanging out of the corner of your mouth whilst doing all of this will keep this thread on topic. Coss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playtheblues Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Again, too many words, not effective. As I said, irony (and parody) is difficult to communicate in style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Any expat who admits he's supplying numbers for this anti-smoking brigade bs would soon become known as a grass. He'd end up with no mates and more than likely on the 'outside looking in' if you know what i mean Thankfully the anti-smoking bs ruling is pretty much ignored in 90% of the bars I've been to in the provinces and cities outside bangkok.

playtheblues Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 "He'd end up with no mates and more than likely on the 'outside looking in' if you know what i mean". Are you sure he would need any (expat) mates? Anyway I wouldn't supply any numbers, not out of respect for smokers (I don't feel any) and not of of fear of being excluded from the expat circuit, but because it would be out of style!

Coss Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Again, too many words, not effective. As I said, irony (and parody) is difficult to communicate in style. No "irony (and parody)", intended. I am a Cordon Bleu Chef and the post on lardons is gospel. Cheers Coss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playtheblues Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 "No "irony (and parody)", intended." Then why in the anti-smoking thread? Anyway, my compliments to your high professional level as a chef! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thailien8 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 To update, most Soi Cowboy bars are still smoke-free in April 2009. If you need to blow your smoke in other people's faces, Dollhouse, Cowboy 2, and Baccara (upstairs) still allow you to flout Thai law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
