UDON SOCIAL

Just delivered some sugar cane to a friends on the other side of Non Sung & passed a bbq chicken place that had whole birds on a rotisserie instead of the usual spatchcock style which I tend to find a bit dry.

130 baht so the going roadside rate & it was deliciously juicy. Stuffed with lemongrass & lime leaves amongst other things which probably helped keep the juices in.
Only 21 baht more than the corporate monopoly of Big C so I’ll certainly go here again to the small owner.

It’s about here (17.2739582, 102.8860626) if anyone is interested although I appreciate it’s probably a full day road trip for the northerners

Half day for the westerners,within stone's throw for the South easterners but they are too busy landscape gardening in this weather

^ I imagine he is

Been a tad busy with liquid refreshments today,had tilapia n chips for lunch,expecting North Atlantic cod next time

Got to have the Mushy Peas option. Apart from that the Guinness and fish and chips is a great match. Also a nice steak and Ale pie goes well with the Guinness.

Yes, pomps' lunch is markedly British and once they hit your stomach, all peas are mushy.

A Geordie lad had the last of the mushy peas,nary to worry,just have to get my order in quicker Last neet after enjoying the lasagne at my abode,get message that the barrels of kilkenny had arrived,bit of a Guinness hangover so missed the opportunity today,next week shall enjoy

Ran out of gas so got this little beauty while we were at Kham Kling Market

^ My favourite at the UD Town / Night market. Been enjoying it since first time ever came to Udon.

Useless fact. Many farangs I know refuse to eat that style of fish as they say they are fed on shite

Probably the same farangs that live on Burger King & KFC which they claim to be clean because it’s served in a shiny front area.
I can’t get on with the traditional Isaan grubs & rotted stuff but can handle most other stuff pretty well. Although I usually insist on nuking anything I’ve bought in a market that’s been lying on a table for I don’t know how long just in case.

We used to always go to the UD Town fish place when we stayed in the Pannarai. It’s a bit far nowadays so tend to go to the local market.
Mrs N even went as far as catching a fish in Yai’s pond the other week & preparing it the same. It was the juiciest ever
