Very happy that I can get whatever I want to eat and like to eat in Perth. Lived around the world and love so many different types of food and cultures which are all available here....

That's a very Northern English thing. Himself (a Southern Softie) thought it was wrong on many levels... right up until he was encouraged to try it 
Not so much that I never thought I'd eat it, but we eat sweet potato and mangoes (not together
) loads here, I don't think I'd had sweet potato before.

Gravy/curry sauce with chips was found in the Chinese takeaway where I went to school in S Wales, so not just a northern thing

Well I'm from Lincolnshire & the chippies there had 3 choices you had mushy peas with fish n chips. Curry sauce with sausage n chips & gravy with pie n chips.
Sometimes they served hard dried out baked beans but I never tried them

I never thought I'd eat a small mandarin with 31 pips in it, but I just have.

sprouts the size of donkey testicles
swedes the size of a Lincolnshire sprout
a cheese called 'Coon'
jackfruit, squashes etc - persimons, all sorts of weird fruits
oysters as often as I do - I used to think they were posh nosh in the UK but here they have no social status attached.

Nothing like sitting on the rocks eating oysters straight from the ocean.
