Yes, £4.94 for one weighing just over a pound weight in the local asian shop here!WOW is that normal?
430grams of silken Tofu seems a bit more reasonable at £1.89
375 grams large tapioca pearls at 99p........

Oh dear thats a bit pricey, I used to buy papaya back in the Philippines every week coz Its what I usually have for breakfast, and this size of papaya is just 50 pesos.
Well I kind of thought the same. Problem has been getting authentic ingredients for my wife. She is making Tinola and wanted to add green papaya.Originally Posted by juvyjones28

Anybody else got caught in the same way?
Oh I see, I haven't cook tinola here so far, only adobo and kaldereta.. I've seen green papaya yesterday at waitrose for £2. Not sure if there's any sayote here, she can use it as alternative ingredient.
I see. Maybe we need to look elswhere for the green papaya.
We just had the Tinola. The cooked green papaya reminds me of what we call marrow here......
Sayote....I saw those yesterday and asked my wife what they were. Looked a bit like ugly apples....

Have you got a tall greenhouse ?

A place for everything, everything in its place.
Or at the Crown Carvery Mon - Sat Kuripot Special you'd get the carvery and £0.95 change from the £4.94£4.94?

it should be IF£4.94?you really fancy some..imagine that papaya at 4.94 pound flying 7000 miles across to just come here
A place for everything, everything in its place.
you all have point.but when you fancy some that this country dont offer and you instanly see at an asian shop..you woudnt think of how much the cost is
same idea if you are in Philippines and you fancy the cornwall
A place for everything, everything in its place.
replace papaya with chayote and malungay leaves...masarap and healthy pa.....
question is if the asian shop offer that...malunggay is very rare to see nowadays..ben chasing now for almost years
A place for everything, everything in its place.
I woudnt doubt to buy those lastid..Mr Moy
A place for everything, everything in its place.
WOW I think we got ripped off there....
Mrs Lastlid was very happy though to get a taste of the Philippines.....but not again at that price. I think Moy's analogy with the Cornish pasty is quite a good one.....but will try an alternative ingredient next time......I swear they taste like marrow....
i strongly disagreed on you on that lastidWOW I think we got ripped off there....i have try that papaya on that supermarket..asda/morisson..the taste was not on my standard
Trust me
A place for everything, everything in its place.
My wife showed me chayote yesterday looks great roll on 4 weeks time.. Seriously if she wanted papaya over here I would shop around to get her some.
We don't have a lot of choice here on the IOM, unfortunately Andy. The variety in shops is missing here and you chaps are quite lucky on the mainland UK. Anyhow I got a marrow in Tesco for just over a quid today. So that will do in future.My wife showed me chayote yesterday looks great roll on 4 weeks time.
Actually i think they must have made a mistake and I will give them a call tomorrow and see what they say.......
WOW Yes, if they taste like marrow they sure dont grow like marrow.......papaya
I was thinking about that Laslid. About the options you have there in IOM. I have never been there but I would like to visit.
Its great if you are a motor bike enthusiast.....or love sailing....no inheritance tax.....
I like the TT mate. I have always imagined it to be like the Isle of white for some reason.
Different terrain to the Isle of Wight, more rugged with its own mountain - Snaefell. Basically the TT course goes around the mountain.
Not dissimilar in size, but much further away from the rest of civilisation than the Isle of Wight.
Sounds great mate. But I believe they make it harder to get there on a permanent basis. A lot different to mainland uk.
Not sure what you mean.....but if you are from the UK you do need a work permit to work here....is that what you mean?
A rather expensive Chicken Tinola

I thought you had to be a resident there for so long to work there? By the way that looks yummy.
No. Thats not true. Plus there are heaps of Pinoys here on work type visas. There is movement from the UK to here but they try and protect jobs for their own people first and foremost. Then if they cant fill positions with local people then it is permissible to hire from other places including the UK.
