My preferred brown sauce is Yorkshire Chop Sauce. However, my source dried up about 6 years ago so I have been on the hunt for an alternative. The nearest I could find was Waitrose Essential Brown Sauce which was available at our local "upmarket" supermarket for around ฿160.00. Then suddenly there are no bottles on the shelves and the manager has no idea why not.

I decided to check "mail order" in case I got close to running out. There were quite a number of outlets here selling the Waitrose sauce but I was amazed at the variation in prices. For a 480ml bottle prices ranged from ฿119.00 to ฿669.00. Of course the delivery charge was in addition, but was not dissimilar in most cases.

[Currently Sterling is equivalent to ฿43.00]

A friend is currently down south in Chonburi for a week and has kindly picked up for me up a couple of bottles at ฿135.00.

Along with some other stuff:

That’s Sahlen’s ham, which might be my favorite ham, and German bologna. The turkey sausage is something new we’re trying.

And here I am exited because I found cinnamon flavored cereal.. The Dutch are annoying with their lack of interest in food , all I usually can get is chocolate or plain cereal. I so want those frosties! America does seem the land of plenty.

Plenty of sugar, for sure.

…of junk food! :laugh:

The funny thing about that cinnamon cereal: now, to me, cinnamon on a breakfast cereal isn’t a huge leap. We have whole cereal lines based on cinnamon. If you make a “plain” cereal, your first variation will probably be a cinnamon version (we have cinnamon Cheerios, cinnamon Life, cinnamon frosted mini-wheats, etc).

After I scanned it, I noticed the bottom of the box was torn open, so I showed it to the attendant and asked if I could just trot back real quick and get another one:

“Hmmm…cinnamon rice crispies?! What in the world will they think of next?! I believe I’ve seen it all!”

:laugh:

Now, if it were a box of, say, key lime pie rice crispies, or sour cream and onion rice crispies, sure, I’d agree. But cinnamon? C’mon! It’s a natural!

Yeah sure, so? They're a treat food. Nobody eats them for health.

The problem is that kids eat these sugary cereals everyday, here. We have a childhood obesity problem in the US, and sugar is the primary culprit.
