I used to love Franklins "No Frills" cheese (in the block, cheddar type but can't remember the actually one) and "No Frills" orange juice in a bottle (not the one in the fridge section) and Bodalla slice cheese melted on toast.

Just Natural Milkshake - chocolate malt and honey. Like no other milkshake I've had. Could live on them in the hot weather!

When on holiday the 2 things I look forward to most are Mangos. The ones in the UK are nasty compared to those in Perth.

Also a West Coast Watermelon which is a drink from a juice bar in the city. Always make that my first stop. I go for a large one even though it gives me brain freeze!

For hubby it would be red emperor.

I love Australian dried apricots. I can't eat the Turkish ones with the Sulphur Dioxide on them it makes me ill.

I can't find them in the UK and I have heard even Australia seems to be stopping them as well.

Not necessarily food, but it would have to be the coffee.

Had Red Emperor in the pub the other day... was best fish EVER!... of course being a bit of a div, I went and ordered the Red Snapper please! hahaha! She said.. which do you want, snapper or red emperor

The Calamari here has to be some of the best (and oddly enough) the worst that I have ever tasted...

My husband would agree on the Calamari front. His favourite was from Amberley Winery in Margaret River but he's had some really poor stuff too.
