BREAD
thai pastes and stir fry's from the stores
STEAKS in pubs and restuarants
PRAWNS - i don't even know if you can get fresh uncooked prawns that are not overcooked and rubbery in the uk
Italian food is generally better
MILK - there is more different types
MORE selection of seafood

Bread ???? You're not serious ?? Oz bread is like "eating paper"

Fresh fruit is definitely better and actually tastes of something
Meat in general, much fresher, less crap
Seafood, again much fresher

I agree about the watermelon, here (UK) they just taste like Water !!

Scotland actually exports King Prawns to several european countries.

Australia imports most of it's prawns from south east Asia.....so do the UK.

Australian fish farmers are not too happy.

When I was over in Leeds we had a discussion about English bread. I was told its just not on the same level as Irish bread. Then I had some English bread..... and totally agreed.

The meat cooked on a barbeque as you fight the flies and see the cockroaches crawl round the BBQ. Then when you sit down to eat the meat and salad that you have prepared have everyone complain about the flies on the food, depsite your best efforts to prevent this.
The best food in Oz is the food prepared indoors and eaten indoors. F**k the hot weather, it not really conducive to healthy and relaxing eating.

lisaroo

never had that problem much where we were!!1

lisaroo

oh i just realised your in perth, i know what you mean there definatly more flies!!!!! when we went to perth we went to rotnest for the day and lasted there about two hours, and from bussleton down to margarets wasnt great, but saying that we were there in december, but i didnt find the city that bad to be honest, but were only there a month, flies are definatly not such a problem on the gold coast i have to say.......... even so they are bloody annoying anyway

Loch Lomond

Last time I was here I was in South Perth and the flies didn't seem so bad. I didn't ping pong but left here in 2001and came back in 2004, and now live in the The Vines - semi rural - but even now going into Autumn they are bad, and also since the rain yesterday the Blackboys are back. Is there no end to this?
