Christmas foods in a foreign country

[lomuamart]

So, no smorbrot but that dosn't matter and I did my best to find some but then everything degenerated into drunkenness.
As an alternative we're going to have a big fish, prawns in noodles and crab if they're available in the market.
But I do have a small bit of gjetost left so it'll be a Viking Xmas - just. (For those who don't know, gjetost is Norwegian goats milk cheese and my Farmor (father's mother) brought me up on it).

According to the menu on Hua Hin Butler the Jailhouse Guesthouse Restaurant has them...

Seems that it has long term effects, that were not considered at the time.
Merry Christmas

Seeing my plight, a friend has gifted me this, which is apparently as close to cream as you can get here. He bought it at Hua Hin Ham & Bacon. Not expensive either

I have not looked in Hua Hin lately, but every Villa Market shop that I have been in has a range of cream. I buy the low fat imported item in a pressure pack, as my Granddaughter likes it, but they also have other types.

I've never found what I consider to be proper cream in Villa Market, but being a lad from Devon, I've probably been spoilt. The cream gifted to me, is meant to be the nearest I'm going to get to (what I, personally consider) real cream.

Have you tried the homemade cream at HHH&B? At least it seemed like homemade when we had it with a Thanksgiving dinner he did for us a couple of years ago.

No, but what I've got is from there, and its highly recommended.

I'll be interested to hear what you think of it once tried BB, the last time I had tinned cream was years ago - Nestle I recollect, but it wasn't as good as fresh cream (IMO).

[Big Boy]

I'll let you know DB, but it won't be for a couple of days. My son and daughter work on the 25th, so we have our Christmas on the 26th. One of the grand daughters can't get time off school, so Christmas lunch will be in the evening. I've got a fasting blood test on the 27th, so the earliest I'll get my hands on it will be the evening of the 27th or maybe 28th.

It's going to be an extended Christmas in the BB household this year.

Devonshire Clotted Cream it was not. However, I didn't expect it to be, nor did anybody say it would be.

I tried the cream on its own, and it tasted a little powdery. However, when eaten with a mince pie it was very good. I would definitely buy it again. Not the real thing, but not a bad copy

Have you tried the Foremost fresh cream from Macro - admittedly not the same as Devon double, but better than the UHT variety IMO.

[Big Boy]

I haven't. Unfortunately, my sweet tooth is restricted to the Christmas season, so I'll have to wait until next year.

Norseman:

I was just curious how people had adapted their customs after moving to Thailand.

I adjusted by switching to Som Tam and moo-yang . Though maybe that isn't what you meant

[Norseman]

Did I say that?
You need new glasses my friend.
