o/t old man's rant - not footy

Oh it does mate, that's why i said be careful...a little trick if you want a real kick, get the said wasabi, put a small dolop in a bowl, mix a small amount of soda water into it..get some crab sticks, dips them, place in gob, chew, wait for head explosion..

 

depends where i am..if i'm in one of the cities, can get most things...we do have macs and kfc ya knar.

 

Noted.

If you`re stuck mate pm me I`ll see what I can do.

If there`s something you can`t get there and it`s easy to get here, I`ll send it. Nee probs.

 

Thanks a lot mate.

I do kind of live on a Thai diet these days, basically everything with loads of chilli's.

A few years ago, i used to manage an import food branch, all mainly English brands. But location sometimes stops me from getting what i want...Simple things like a tub of Bisto gravy...

It's strange, as i manage a building company, therefore in my own house have some of the top appliances you can get, mostly imported from Germany...yet the missus still prefers to cook outside with charcoal on a small fire....

You can't cook a full duck like that?

 

The Rev Spooner would be proud of that.

You want some Bisto gravy? say so.

 

It's actually a real learning curve watching these cook...what they use and the speed they do it...i think we actually over cook everything.

This bring me back to what i have spoke about on here many a time, and if i did come back and open a swanky thai resturant, i hope you lot would come.

 

Certainly. Not too swanky mind. I`m not good with swank.

Can I bring me own Bisto?

 

No

I still have my reservations if it could work, maybe Sunderland is not the right city for it. It's an idea anyway.

 

Restaurants are hard. Need a hell of a lot of luck to get it right to begin with.

 

Yep mate, it's just something i'm thinking off..

I don't want a cheap tacky, eat all you can joint, i was thinking a lot higher up the scale, but could it work in sunderland? i don't know..

 

Aye. It would have to be the posh end. Out Cleadon way mebbies.

Or Durham. Or, posher still, Byker.

Pensher might be canny though.

 

Best of luck mate, you're clearly the kind that grafts, I presume you've picked up the know how with living there. Just a case of finding a gap somewhere that needs filling.

 

There's a lot to think about mate...i do fancy the idea....but it means putting long sleeves and even worse a jacket on to return home to the cold....i don't even own a jacket wtf.

 

One to be open to and keep on the shelf for another day I reckon mate, nowt wrong with tinkering around with it in your head until you decide the time is right, if you do at all.

Love proper Thai food me. Looking forward to visiting the missus in Melbourne, she reckons it's absolutely cracking over there.

 

You'll get some proper stuff there like, the whole range of asian foos, thai, vietnamese, malaysian, the lot.

Thai is usually spicy, vietnamese rather bland, malaysian a bit of a mix.

Plus the aussies whopper steaks and fish.

 

Well I would def come Thai is my fav food we have a Thai in Bishop Auckland and it works here

 

My biggest miss is some decent dripping off a good old beef or pork joint with the brown jelly sinking to the bottom. We had one at home for years that just got added too every weekend and the fights over the thick crusts was massive in our house, but my father won every time.
