StarFoods wins on size, filling and price, with quality pretty evenly matched.
Three (and a half) out of four. Not bad.Thank you.

I'll have to go into Makro and have a look Nick. A crumble made with blackcurrents alone are likely to be more expensive than an apple and blackcurrent.

Will look into it. Thanks.

just a minute........



..... I think there is something odd going on here !

STARFOODS
STAFFORDS


Change an O  for an F  and the names are inter-changeable.

Isn't that just a little bit spooky ?

Don't forget the biscuits to go with the cheese samples you promised.

Well we tried Paddys out.

Nice bar, well fitted out. Here is the food pics. Danny said the mixed grill was nice, and so was my Pie, one of Gary Staffords. Great place for a beer after work.
It seems rather strange to go to an Irish Bar & choose to eat one of your friends pies rather than push the boat out & try something like his Irish Stew,,,,which is very good!

Starman maybe you should arrange a pie tasting and size comparison at a venue of your choice.

Size comparison has already been done. My pies are, on average, 15% bigger. Also judging by a wabsite I have seen my pies are 25 baht cheaper.

Taste comparision? Good idea. I will work on a time and place.

Thanks for the idea.

Binnsy....will bring some cheese along too.

I wanted to stock both pies but I couldn't afford to buy Staffords at Gary's prices.

Absolutely nothing against Gary, he established the first retail/wholesale presence and works to his margins.

I buy 'flakey' pies from Pattaya for the very few people who prefer that style to Steve's.

Food, as always, is a personal choice and at least in Buriram we have a reasonable choice now.

Real mushy peas from Nookie (better than those I had bought in Pattaya inc proprietory brands).

Would never use 'real' chips (if you mean making from potatoes) because the basic product is not good enough and certainly not consistent.

Makro crinkle chips are a winner with my customers. I have tried frozen steak chips to give the choice but 90%+ opt for crinkle cut.
