  1. washed down with a can of Irn Bru ... I'm truly sad for you..regional specialties that no one outside the UK, particularly Scotland, would even consider eating..haggis, deep fried Mars bars (doesn't Mars bar originate in the USA?), and Irn Bru.And what's this obsession with canned beans? Oh well, no accounting for taste. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

  5. Some great regional foods and background given there, EP. Oh I'd love to have a key lime pie now. Nectar of the gods. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
  6. I stand corrected..have been to both. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
  7. I'm in the process of having major dental work done with German Dental at this very time. They are not cheap, but their lab work is excellent and the turnaround time on crowns and bridges is fantastically fast. I was not impressed with the "bedside" manner of the dentists and assistants (nobody held my hand when I cried), but they were very efficient and professional. The girl who held the suction tube in my mouth was lovely as well Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

  9. Evil, a very good response to a provocative and snide question.
  10. Sorry to hear that. Sounded like he was an excellent businessman , and it looked great. Best burger I've had in Thailand! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
  11. Closed I think. It was very very good, but in an out of the way location. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
  12. On further reflection, English fish and chips travels well and is something English that can be found outside of England. .. and eaten by non English. Regarding Indian food in the USA, I was basing my claim of authenticity on restaurants found in Berkeley, near the University. A meal in one of those leaves your ass burning the next day. Many Chinese Hunan and Szechuan style restaurants can be found in San Francisco as well. Sure, there are Americanized establishments that are not authentic, but the authentic ones can be found in the cosmopolitan cities. For the OP again (staying on topic), a review of Bourbon Street's menu shows a heavy New Orleans cajun influence. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
  13. Steaks are hardly American, but we do like them a lot. Btw, for the OP, there is an Outback Steakhouse in BKK. There is also a Tony Roma's Rib place. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

  16. Should be in the Restaurant section...moving it. Please note.
  17. Maybe, but was it widely baked and consumed as it is in America? The "American as Apple Pie" phrase was apparently an advertising slogan by the apple lobby. Don't take it seriously. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
  18. Bacon,cheese and tomatoes grilled,sunday roast steak and kidney pudding and chips british,indian curry(lol english brekkie pig pudding oatcakes That will do for now Martine I hate to break it to you, bratpack, but no one eats that food outside of the UK except where there is a large British population of visitors or expats. I've lived and visited all over Europe and the Americas. The "foreign" food that travels best is, to name a few, French, Italian, Mexican, German, even Irish stew. Very few places seIl meat pies, pig pudding, oatcakes, or grilled tomato sandwiches. English food is not popular except among English. I suspect even the English are learning to appreciate other nations' food now in the more cosmopolitan areas of your country. Btw, in the USA, when going for Indian food, we eat INDIAN food, not brit influenced stuff. Thanks for the curry tho. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
  19. I'm curious to know what uniquely British food is consumed by anyone other than British outside of the UK. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
  20. Unlike your national dishes that nobody else eats, you mean? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2

  23. Not yet. Just unnecessary delays. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
  24. I've never noticed smog in pattaya. The sea breezes and relative lack of any basin for it to collect on might be a factor. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
  25. They have tweaked the lights at 3rd Road underpass and Thappraya so that there is a long backup on Thappraya now...even preventing traffic from taking the left lane to get over to Walking Street. I sat through 2 lights (on a motorcycle) trying to get to the U turn spot before the lights, and what I saw was complete chaos. The cycle seemed to be about 2-3 minutes for the lights to do a complete cycle. When they turned green for the northbound traffic, the green light lasted 8-10 seconds, about 4 seconds of which was taken by southbound traffic (from 2nd Road) continuing through the red light. This left about 4-6 seconds for any cars waiting to turn right onto 3rd or left over to Pratumnak...and then RED! Meanwhile, all entrances to the intersection were waiting, watching an empty intersection with no traffic. They've screwed up the lights that are now going up and down Pratumnak at the underpass as well. Most motorcycles are just going thru the red lights rather than watching an empty intersection waiting for a green light. I wonder if anyone does any kind of review of these light durations or do they just set them and walk away?
