street meat

[udontknowme]

No Ricardo I'm not talking about your boy toy streetwalkers.

Good old cart food. Often the best, cheapest food you can get, but very likely the cause of the avalanche of liquid out of my ass two days ago. Glad I had brought some antibiotics on the trip and the constant puking/shitting only lasted maybe 12 hours.

Food is the bomb here in Thailand, but should I stick to the restaurants? Or fight through the fear and continue to get the food off the street?

Pretty sure what was called beef was NOT beef. Worst tasting "beef" and food I've had in a few months.

Riccardo doesn't care about streetwalkers. Riccardo cares about carcinogens.

Dont eat beef in Thailand. Pork, chicken, seafood. Beef is more scarce so tends to not be as fresh.

Where are u in Thailand?

[Riccardo]

I'd stick to restaurants

Unless you enjoy sitting on the can for a day, which you probably do

I wish it was just a day.

In Phuket for now. On a year long surf trip and wanted a change of pace and had to make a visa run from Indo, and actually found a punchy little beachbreak in Kata Noi beach. Supposed to be some swell in two days and I'll probably be out of commission until then, then might head to Ko Phi Phi to try and bang some trashpackers. Any other suggestions Diggle?

I can't speak for international street meat, but I had a cart on my block in NYC. If I was drinking that night, I was hitting that shit.

The restaurants all have those aquariums out front

Pick out your prawns and have a ball.

And when YOU add them all up...

Pick out your prawns and have a ball.

....you get the Dim sum. Har har har.

Okay, I laughed

I remember biting into something in Bangkok (don't go there) during dinner that was the freaking spiciest thing I've ever had. Couldn't taste for like a half hour. Apparently it was the stem of some pepper that the locals know not to eat. Kind of like putting a bay leaf in your stew. Everyone knows not to eat it. Except round eyed bald guy.

I can't speak about street meat or carts....

....but my ex-wife could cook some meat in her early days that could gag a pack of coyotes. If it wasn't a night on the can it was spending days not going because the bag of quickcrete she passed as "helper" had finally set up.

Really? She was that bad? Yikes!

I should be thankful.

I don't remember ever eating a meal cooked by her. What I do remember is having Mexican food at a shack near your place in California.

...that place was the best, a little whole in the wall family owned spot. Good stuff.

The bad food time was some years earlier when we first moved in together,prob about 6/7 yrs earlier from your visit. Working on a fixed starving artist budget she would sometimes push expiration dates.
There was a time when I thought she was trying to kill me...lol....in our final years together a lot of the cooking became mine.

To give credit she could bake her ass off.
