Pastrami on Rye (Jontiem area)

[atlas2 4,329]

You see 'Pull pork' and I'm lost……..

 

Because I've had to when skiing or on holidays in Europe I can get through a French menu ……..Spanish……Italian…….and at home Indian and Chinese of course…..But I'm amazed how flummoxed I am when it comes to the American food I've heard of in movies.

 

When it actually comes down to it I don't know my grits from my chitterlings……… Rye must be bread right? Pastrami like spam?

 

There's only one way to find out……….Where are the Clampets when you'ra needing them? I'm gonna work maself up an appetite prospecting for gold at Passion next week and mosey on down to this place and see what all the fussing is about.

 

(That wasn't New York accent was it?).

 

I'll order MM's recommendation.

Look up mountain oysters....also known as prairie oysters too I believe.

Damn Tapatalk! It changed "pulled" to "pull," but I've corrected it now.

 

Pulled pork had its origin as slave cooking on southern farms and plantations. Before the Civil War, pigs were much leaner animals than today and meat was tougher. The toughest parts of the carcass were given to slaves who slow-cooked them until the meat could be "pulled" from the bone. Since tough cuts of meat have a lot of flavor, that style of cooking became popular in later years.

Chicken fried steak, I haven't seen that for a long time. The last time I had that was at Bourbon Street in Bangkok. Is it available anywhere in the Pattaya area?

Yes, I'm going to try some of these dishes here in the Uk. We've got a place called Grillstock which seems to offer some of these dishes.

Rich Man Poor Man, Jomtien Soi 9, has chicken fried steak. You can get a small portion with a breakfast, or a large portion for lunch or dinner.

 

American owned and operated, so he knows his down home foods.

[Gary 4,119]

Rich Man Poor Man is one of my regular eating spots. I'll be certain to stop in and try the chicken fried steak. The picture from the Texas Lone Star doesn't really look like it should, but it maybe be worth a try. Thanks.

I'd go with RMPM myself.

BTW, yesterday I finally got up in time to have breakfast at Pastrami on Rye (POR).

 

I had their breakfast burrito which consists of "Our own fajita style seasoned ground beef, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, eggs and cheese. Topped with our homemade sausage gravy for a unique rich flavor."

 

I enjoyed it very much, but next time I order it, I'm going to ask them to add a bit more salt and pepper to the mix. It's hard to salt the inside of a burrito!

 

 

[Greg_B 306]

MM....

 

Jim does a majority of the cooking there (sorry to say he is a cheese head). Just ask for him before you order and I'm sure he will accommodate any request (or send a note along with the order)

 

I had the biscuits and gravy this AM and they were fantastic

Who threw up on that Burrito ?!?

[MM 6,562]

Who threw up on that Burrito ?!?

It's sausage gravy.

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sausage_gravy

 

 

Much better than mushy peas

 

[Gary 4,119]

For the old Navy veterans, sausage gravy on toast or biscuits is called SOS. The official Navy name is shit on a shingle. It's great if the gravy is made properly. I had it in Ban Chang the last trip and it was NOT made properly. It really needs sausage with some flavor.

The burrito looks good but I would need to invite one of the priests from St Nikolaus church to come along to administer the last rites when I stroked out.

I almost finished it! It's a big breakfast.
