Bored with food…

[bust]

There's usually a noodle cart out the front of a certain bar in Soi 4 during the day. A couple of mates of mine who had only been to LOS once before had a "no way" attitude to street food but I finally convinced them to give it a try. They returned daily once they tried it. Noodle soup with pork or beef 40 baht. As I explained to them, once they ran out they packed up and went home. Markets early next morning to re-stock so the food was always fresh. They got the logic. More chance of getting sick from a restaurant.

Debate able…depends on the cart and the restaurant… I wouldn’t know anything about that area so I don’t know the cart…(insert Pinocchio nose icon)

My latest indulgence the "Thor Hammer" aka slow cooked beef shin 😋

Nice! What's that set you back? Can you crack the bone for marrow ?

$19.99/KG and that one weighed about 2.5KG so let's say $50.00. Not bad really. Bones chock a full of marrow 😋 I sometimes prefer the cuts which are best slow cooked like beef tips and cheeks.

Where did you see that food? In Thai?
I showed the picture to my Thai wife (a certified chef) she said it is possible, north of Thailand, when a cow or buffalo breaks a leg, they take some good parts, like that and grill it. The rest of the body (of that cow) goes to the factories that make canned pet food for export.

Whenever we had beef steaks, she would refuse to eat beef.
What you said is possible but hardly even close to what mainstream Thais eat or even know is edible.

Not raining on your parade, albeit possible, just so unusual for Thais.

My Thai wife made this for lunch, Thai fare. Note the rice, Japanese rice that is glued and eaten with chopsticks, one mouthfull.

Thai, a great rice exporter but their rice ends up in crackers or in condiments, never eaten or seen in households.
