They have an internal staff administration problem and will no doubt be open shortly. Nothing whatsoever to do with unfounded comments about food poisoning.

Great! Now I can plan ahead for 1 day...I will definitely be in to try the Lamb Burger.

 

Sounds promising...

I had the daily special yesterday at Bite Me as I have a particular fondness for German sausage, potato salad and sauerkraut. I had a vague idea of following up the special with a crepe suzette, but I changed my mind once I had the menu in front of me. I decided to have the arancini as a starter and skip dessert.

Arancini means "little oranges" in Italian, but are stuffed and breaded rice balls which are then fried. It's a dish that goes back more than 1,000 years to the days when Arabs ruled Sicily. There are dozens of different fillings and flavorings used in arancini, ranging from small chunks of cheese to ragu (tomato-flavored meat). Bit Me went with wild mushrooms and parmesan, with the beetroot

aioli adding a nice accent.

Good arancini have a paper-thin crunchy exteriors and a creamy interiors. The contrast in textures, or mouthfeel, is a big part of the experience of eating arancini. Because it is a fiddly dish to make that depends on perfect preparation and deep-frying, you don't often see it on menus in Pattaya. If the breading is too thick or it's fried too long, it becomes more like little golf balls than little oranges. Ewan definitely got the texture and flavor right, so if you're a long-time arancini fan or never tried it before, you won't be disappointed at Bite Me. It cost 150 baht for five balls.

The special consisted of four sausages (two pork, one veal and one beef) on a bed of warm potato salad, with creamed sauerkraut and a generous dollop of German mustard (senf) on the side. It all went together very well, with the flavor of the sausages enhanced by the tang of the mustard and the mildness of the potato salad and the creamed sauerkraut.

The sausages, the star of the meal, had a good meaty flavor without any chemical aftertaste. Ewan said they came from a local producer, but I didn't quit catch which one it was.

The emphasis at Bite Me is on quality fresh ingredients that have been seasoned to bring out their natural flavors. I'm personally a fan of big, bold flavors, but balance is also important. The components on the plate should complement each other, not battle for domination. With some main ingredients, it's important that the vegetables or starches that come along with it dance lightly on the tongue. That's where Ewan excels; he is a master at balancing component flavors to create a satisfying whole.

If you prefer German sausage, sauerkraut and potato salad served traditional style in big, hearty portions, that is widely available in Pattaya. Bite Me is alone in offering this classic dish in a dressed-up form.

IMG_0334.jpg

 

The total cost of the meal was 405 baht (150 baht for the arancini; 195 baht for the sausage special; and 60 baht for a Singha Light).

Again, another recommended meal from Bite Me.

Sausages come in hundreds of varieties depending on which meat and other ingredients are used; country of origin; and method of preparation. There's no one right way for sausage to look or taste. Almost every country or region in the world has its own style of sausage. It's just a matter of personal preference which you like best.

 

Japan is considered to be the only major country (and cuisine) which doesn't feature sausage. That's because eating meat was discouraged in Japan until the late 1800s and didn't become widespread until the 20th century. The country never developed a tradition of sausage making.

You are right... But no any sausages must be looking like a dried, tired human limp dick...for premium prices.... even a cheap hot dog sausage in the 7/11 for 10 baht may look like a perky dick... :smile:

The sausages you think look like "dried, tired human limp dick" are beef sausages made with far less fat than pork sausages. When smoked, the beef sausages also lose moisture, which causes the casing to wrinkle. Some sausages are supposed to look that way. Plump sausages in 7-11 are usually full of non-meat filler, whether animal parts or grain.

I would not even think to call those crappy 7-11 things sausages!

 

The wrinkly ones pictured above do remind me of non-pork types we get in the UK and are, as you say, meaty.

 

Pallid looking ones may well be a factor of cooking method, some sausages get stewed, nothing wrong with that, my personal favourites were the ones that got roasted with the chicken on Christmas day, and come cold with the sandwiches that evening too.

Definitely, or a variation. lamb dishes - pulled, kofta, meatballs, burger - have all been popular.

 

With a bit of notice just ask and special dishes can be arranged. If there is any dish you really would like to see on the menu or as a special, tell us

 

Venison is going off the menu, quality of the raw product is just too unreliable. It's an ongoing juggling act, producing the right balance and quality at lower prices

If it all tastes as good as it looks (I'm sure it does), I'll be buying a 3 week season ticket on the next trip methinks.

 

I'm sitting in France asking myself "Why can't we have food like this here?" - take that as a compliment! (drool).
