I am so into watermelon here - must be the heat as not into back home or when abroad in europe.
Cheds and Chris' dips - but my homemade avocado dip is extra yummy even if the OH prefer's black swan!
Icepops in this weather!!

I must say I love tim tams. They are great!
Chocolate aside, I generally find the quality of the fresh produce here so much better than the UK. For example the seafood is so fresh and the fruits are all so much sweeter just to name a couple. yummy!

If you are lucky enough to live near an Aldi then they sell their version of Jaffa cakes, my wife now prefers them over the McVitees one.
I'm happy......they are a lot cheaper!! :-)

Depends where you go shopping. I buy local fish and shellfish catches from the fishmarket and there is a big difference. We made the mistake of buying from the supermarket here once and that was not pleasant at all. Clearly imported and lots of additives.

What is not imported is very unlikely to be local to Sydney......more likely farmed in the NT.

Well maybe they just tell me porky pies every week then about what has been caught locally 
oh well never mind. My personal opinion anyway is that the quality is better than home and that's what this thread is about.
