My search for chutney proving fruitless in the supermarkets of Bangkok resulted in me buying this jar of Amy's Salsa instead. I hope it makes a good substitute to spread on my toast.

Review- Loving Hut
Loving Hut is an international chain vegetarian restaurant founded by a Taiwanese philanthropic entrepreneur. With support from the United Nations, one of the restaurant's missions is to help save the planet- meaning to combat global warming, water shortages, air pollution, animal extinction, land degradation and deforestation- simply through what we eat.

Phuket Festival

An interesting study of the festival was carried out by Erik Cohen.

Call to keep Veg Fest traditional
PHUKET Shrines Association President Prasert Fakthongphol has asked participating shrines in this year's Vegetarian Festival to have their mah song (spirit mediums) use only "traditional"objects to pierce their cheeks.
The request reflects the increasing popularity of "modern" objects like beach umbrellas, power drills and motorbike parts in recent years.
Among the traditional items he suggested as the instruments of choice are those mentioned in Chinese legends. Such objects run the gamut from swords, axes, and maces to 12-inch spiked-staffs with figurines of Chinese gods as headpieces.
Maintaining this tradition was difficult because some mah song do not register with the shrines.
"They piece their bodies outside the temples and join the procession on the streets," he said.
