AND
as a commentary on that.............

The Pate de Foie Gras, as with other things, came from the supermarket in Siam Paragon. 3 Tubs 300g at 1GBP per tub...Sensational...mostly eaten by Elodie.
The Saumon was Norwegian..same source. 600g at 7GBP

Spaghetti has to be dry but it is Agnesi so OK. The sauce easy to make....pleasantly hot!

Pizza, too, the Sicilienne coming mainly from a large tub of anchovies..known here as Plaa Raa Falang...ie European fermented Fish. Even found some 'Real Mozzarella'

I heard there were 2 kilos of prawns..but I never saw them!!

The duck.......Best duck since the days of Whitebrook...astonishingly full of flavour....like remembering chickens, remembering ducks....frozen again from Paragon...had I known would have brought a bagfulllll..
Oh..cost of duck...fatty...but little fat..about 2.5kg+ =3.5GBP

Aioli ..Can get decent Olive Oil here

Salad too..plenty of balsamic vinegar in Foodland

Christmas pud from Waitrose...still to find an explanation of why you can buy Waitrose brands in Central!...Pretty good. Doused in half a bottle of Martell...and lit...Westerners present cried with nostalgia!

Crackers, too....Too lazy to make Mince Pies...

Drinks really the only problem. Had plenty of Gin and Campari and a bottle of Lanson, from UK, but ther rest Aussie rubbish, Heineken and doubtful rice spirits..not so good. Cost, without drink 30GBP for 10 people and a few hedge crawlers

As I write Kunjana is spieling away on her radio station about Christmas, life in England and beauty tips for the freezing weather! It is mid day...just taken my blouson off!!
