Top Five Australian Food Loves

November 19, 2007

A list of top why I love living here.

1. Lucas’ PawPaw Ointment- okay, so this isn’t food really, but this stuff heals all and does all…lip balm,, protects scars, and best of all it’s anti-bacterial and anti-itch

2. Luneburger Germany Bakery- I can’t go past this place without picking up at least half a loaf of Pumpkin seed bread. They sell by the half loaf! They also have beautiful hazelnut croissants and an ever changing array of devious cakes and pastries.

3. Vegemite – I absolutely love the salty, earthy flavor on wheat toast or homemade bagels.

4. The carton of beer over the shoulder phenomenon. An Australian goes to the liquor store and buys 24 beers in a box, a fairly regular occurance. He will then without a doubt throw it over his shoulder and walk it where ever it needs to go. An Americans would use a shopping cart. Like this guy but instead of whatever beer he has, Toohey’s New

5. Pavlova – A delicious concoction of mereinge, cream and fruit.
