Never mind the pricing of electricity, beer and a Big Mac, the real test should be the cost, and availability of luxury marmalade - the proper stuff, none of those artifical jammy, sugar-laden, cheap imitations.
I have ran out, and am considering having a jar flown in to ease my distress of having toast without it in the mornings.
Or as an alternative - as a nod towards Scooby and RobW ...

Never mind the marmalade, here in Luang Prabang the local Deli charged a whopping £15 each for one of a few small jars of Branston pickle they had in stock some time ago. I am now completely bereft, even after the very welcome and kindly top-up from a mate who brought some back from Blightly recently. An Englishman cannot live without his Branston!

My posts are just jokes, maybe they're rude, offensive, and politically incorrect. They're not my opinion, viewpoint, idea, or judgement, but they're just fucking jokes so lighten up.

Never eaten either dogs or hats with pickle in Essex, sorry Playboy. Usually I just enjoy adding the wonderful taste and crunchy sensation of pickle to add some liveliness to what can often be bland tasting imported cheese or ham - both of which are equally as expensive in Laos (sticking to the thread) as they are elsewhere. I was referring to the price charged for one particular British commodity rather than it not being readily available. As to it being 'peasant food' - sorry, do you, perhaps, have an aversion to it in the same way that I hate Marmite?Playboy wrote:Branston is peasant food.
Next you will be bemoaning the lack of whippets and flat caps in Laos.

not to forget pilchards, sprats, cockles, etc. You can keep your Branston, unless it is part of a pub lunch.
Marmalade and Marmite, however, ROCK.
