pickled jalapenos - Villa Ploenchit

mac and cheese - about all "western" grocery stores about 65B a box

Haven't seen crawfish, or good crab boil, just old bay.  I get friends in the states to send me Zaterians in the bag.

Haven't seen black eyed peas.

white cornmeal is everywhere.  I mix cornmeal and flour 50/50 to fry chicken and okra.

Haven't seen black eyed peas.

I was able to find them at a Foodland not far from the intersection of Ramkamhaeng and Rama 9 roads. Canned of course. In addition, said Foodland has great hamburger patties and a great diner type restaurant.

Update on Villa Supermarket on Sukhumvit: They stopped stocking Hormel beef tamales AND chili with beans. That's a downcheck from me. However, I did order a holiday turkey from them, complete with stuffing and gravy. The turkey was delivered ON TIME and HOT! It was perfect. That almost makes up for the lack of tamales and chili. Now, who sells canned or prepared Tex-Mex food? I know Tops doesn't.

I could send some from here in the Philippines. I actually bought a 1 quart bottle of Tapatio hot sauce several weeks back.

I haven't seen any canned tex-mex....but I make a mean pot of chilli!  The wife even goes for it...serve with rice and she's a happy camper!  About the only canned hormel food product around is Spam. 

Nemesis....I'll PM you my address....and some of that Velvetta kind of cheese they have where you live.....take about 1/3 of a stick of that with some chilli, jalapenos and microwave it till the cheese melts....a perfect dip for doritos.

I bought some Tostitos Salsa con Queso the other day, just about perfect.

STOP IT! You're making my mouth water! I would KILL for a can of no-bean chili! I don't know why Thai stores have such an aversion to importing good Tex-Mex. Heaven forbid Thais should broaden their food horizon.
