The cupboard is bare

My sandwich tasted naked.

I opened the new bread and for once it was squashy enough to eat fresh rather than toasted.

(Shhhh, don’t tell anyone, but the Thais aren’t very good at baking bread, it not being an important part of their diet… Unless you go to a five star hotel and buy direct from the bakers but then it costs rather a lot.)

Back to the naked sandwich: there’s no Branston Pickle anywhere in Bangkok – I’ve looked. Alright I haven’t looked everywhere… but I’ve checked out a branch of Villa, a Tops, Gourmet in Emporium and Carrefour. None, nada, nilch.

I am very sad.
