Pork. Not sure why it would be any different but the pork here is just excellent.

Don't mind the Vegemite but appreciate cheapo cask wine more, especially on Friday night. I have developed a Bogan liking for Bundy too.

Wassat? Food? Oh OK, Red Rock Deli Chips and Tasmanian Salmon
Did you try that cask I told you about?

I now love beef sausages, never would have dreamed of eating them in the UK.

Cheese'n'Bacon balls, yum, my guilty pleasure. I could eat one huge bag in one sitting...

Anzac biscuits.

Things I never bothered with in the UK but do in Oz?

Worcestershire sauce - mmm love it in Spag bol
Tofu - yes, go on slag me off, but it's sooooo versatile!
The ice-cream here is excellent, love that Cold Rock stuff, how they bash all those lovely ingredients thru, only been once mind, cos it's EVILLLL lol


Can't think of too much else that I eat differently over here...and can't think of anything I really really miss from the UK as they now have Quorn here!

Nice to see a positive thread for once...

It's called McWilliams Hillside Colombard Chardonnay, tastes nice, it has managed to stain one of my tops so God knows what's in it... ! And oh yes, photograph evidence is a must!

Dim Sims, Stuffed Olives and Dolmades. Hard to find a BBQ these days without Dolmades being served.




Oh and Baklava, which is one of the few Sweets or Desert dishes that I'll eat.

I need to correct that entry, Jindi don't make a cheddar type thing, although their brie is good. I'm going to find that other stuff and post it later. It really is good.

Beef. Far, far, far higher quality than the stuff we get in the UK

I like the way they serve the family portions of fish and chips in a big cardboard "basket" full of different types of fish, calamari rings, etc. Yum! . And the fish is so good it melts in your mouth
