Chicken that actually tastes like it should, fresh fish (the fisho in our local centre throws out any fish after 24 hours) seafood - huge prawns, moreton bay bugs, coffin bay oysters, sand crabs, steaks from the barbie, Tim Tams, Bundy dark & stormy.
Downside - Bananas, sausages

Bananas - I cant really put it in words apart from saying they are 'furry'. In UK most nanas are from the Caribbean and are much tastier
Sausages - basic pork BBQ sausages taste like - (i'll leave it for you to taste) although some better butchers do 'gourmet' sausages which are a bit better.

They are (not that I can eat them...sigh). You get a timtam and then you bite a bit off one end and a bit off the other. You then use the timtam to suck through your coffee or tea.

Its the finest Australian ritual in the country.

Oh yeah, and a Cherry Ripe (although I only have about two bars of chocolate per annum)!
