We are loving the food. There is no shortage of local, organic produce or free range chickens and eggs. Fish can be bought fresh off the boat every week at the market. The shrimps are huge. I am spoiled because in addition to excellent Australian food, all of my favorite US and UK brands are here. WOOHOO. Yes, I can get a Cadbury Flake and a bag of Doritos at the same store which I can see from my apartment. It's quite dangerous.
You've got to watch out in restaurants. They will sneak beets and/or pumpkin onto or into a lot of things. I like beets and pumpkin, but I wouldn't want them on my burger.
We went to a regional flavors festival today at the South Bank and sampled lots of the local specialties. Bought some lime and ruby grapefruit cordial (squash or saft) made locally. There were live chickens and a pig there as well, and an experimental farmer who spoke about his garden where he grows enough food for one adult to feed himself all year on 100 square meters of land. Here's a glimpse of the festival:
There are farmer's and crafts markets at South Bank most weekends, and with the artificial lagoon at Streets Beach I think we'll be spending a lot of time here:
