Butchers

Does anyone know, why is it you only get imported lamb here? Why is mutton never available, especially now that there are more Indians living here. Lamb is fantastic, but it just isn't mutton, and mutton curry is mutton curry.

Try to get a Thai to eat lamb. Success rate is probably about 5% at most. They had some very good chops at the Christmas Eve buffet we went to. Convinced the wife to take a bite and she really suffered through the chewing and swallowing. Little daughter almost ran in horror as she goes to a petting farm filled with lambs about every weekend over here. She'll come around....maybe. If it's that hard for them with sweet, tender lamb, mutton is probably out of the question regardless of any Indian population spike. Pete

What I did was talk to the local Thai pork seller at the local market. I then bough half a pig from him for 4000 baht which was about 55 kgs. I then downloaded a video from YouTube on how to butcher a pig and then just followed the vid. I got myself a freezer full of all the cuts you don't get here like chops and hams etc. I have some bacon and hams in brine now waiting for the cut.
The next project is to build myself a smoker.
We also have a farang food company here that makes sausages etc. I can mix up my own recipes for sausages and he will case them for me for the price of the casings and I just give the girls a tip.

Naab Thong on Soi 88 have the best sausages in Hua Hin IMO.

I wonder if they'd be willing to make up some sausage for me if I mixed everything myself and then took it around to be put into casings?


Maybe a visit up that way will be on the cards soon....lol.

I was there a few days ago, Takiab, and actually spoke to them about your boerewors.
They said they were up for giving it a try.

Maybe some wild boar, gator, or ostrich sausages, Takiap?

Heard that this guy is setting up shop in Hua Hin. Pete

Wild Boar, or at least the equivalent is easily obtained. Ask for "Moo Baa" which roughly translates as "Jungle Pig" Like the sound of this one for Sunday lunch.

Takiap. There has been a guy on the fresh market in Huahin who has been selling pork chops(on the bone) for years.
They are delicious.

Agree that they are good, but none the less I now make my own and (clearly unbiased ) think they are even better!!!

[charleyboy]

Danny. Bring some of your sausages round and I'll make a Gala pie and we can have a nice picnic!

I have a drawing of a home made smoker I build some years ago, work perfect.

Thanks for the replies and comments.


HHF......i'm sure the wild boar meat would make great sausage, and maybe even the crocodile, but ostrich sausage is nothing special. I think it's just too lean for sausage, so one would have to add in some fat. I also can't see many people enjoying ostrich steak unless they like venison, since the two are quite similar. It does make good biltong though, especially if you like your biltong very dry. Like I said, it was the cheapest meat you could buy in South Africa, so many South African tended to stay away from it, believing it was inferior. To the contrary, I've heard it's better for you than beef or lamb since there's no fat.


I enjoy lamb sausage and mutton sausage, but again, I've never really seen it much in the UK or here in Thailand. I'll either have to track down and buy a sausage making gizmo, or I'll need to find someone who is willing to put my mixes into casings.


As far as Thais and lamb/mutton are concerned..........thank goodness most don't like it - I get to eat the lot. Saying that, my wife absolutely loves lamb chops, and she also love lamb and/or mutton curry. Fortunately the in-laws don't though. Father says it doesn't taste good, and Mother just thinks your next life is going to be very bad if you eat something as cute as a lamb, sheep, or goat.......
