It just turned midnight in Sydney. The 26th of January is our big day. To do this justice, everyone should have a real Aussie 7 course dinner. A six pack and a meat pie!

It's often considered the national dish.

Elle McPherson is more often considered your national dish

I fell in love with Austalia from that "Sound of Music" movie.

What's that red stuff on top. And how is it different than the English meat pies?

I recognize that version of the flag...

The red stuff is tomato sauce, which is called ketchup in other parts. An Aussie meat pie is iconic. Like Aussie sausage rolls or Aussie pasties. They just taste better than anything the Pommies come up with. Next you'll be asking what a Pommie is I suspect.

[MJZiggy]

Nobody ever said the English could cook...

[Tarlam!]

Worst place in the world to eat is England. Maybe I'm unqualified to say that having only been around the world 16 times.

I love Aussie pasties! I spent three months in Melbourne with a friend of mine... what a great frickin' time... great people, great place! I'll never ask what a Pommie Bastard is btw.... :)

I watched a nature show in which they baited English foxes with different packaged sausages to ascertain if a preference for kind could be determined. Those sausages were the most unappetizing mess of pale, bloated, ground up animal matter I have ever seen. The fox that showed up disappointed me by actually grabbing one of the putrid looking meat bags and running away with it. I hold out hope that he didn't eat it but rather delivered it with a complaint to the Ministry of Canned Bangers and Processed Meats.

YAY!!!

HAH! Do you know what a South Sea Pommie is? Or the Best Part of Melbourne??

I thought a "Southie" (not necessarily "South Sea Pommie") was from New Zealand.... correct me if I'm wrong... educate this "Yank". :) As far as the "Best Part of Melbourne" goes... enlighten me....

[Tarlam!]

Wow! I am really impressed. A SSP is, indeed, a Kiwi. They whinge just as much as the true Pommie Bastards, only, they do it in their flamed accent. Nice job, easy cheesy!!

It wasn't as bad as I heard it was, but everything pretty much looked better than it actually tasted.

I think the Italians are the ones with food dialed in.

Italy is really good. Maybe even great. Switzerland is out of your mind good no matter where you eat. Just, crazy good. Those people can friggin' cook. The border around France is good, but not a sure thing. Just search for where the most cars are parked.

[Tarlam!]

Oh, and my deceased claimed the best coffee is to be drank in Luxembourg. Meh, it's ok. But she was from Vienna, and boy, they love coffee in Vienna.

[George Cumby]

Best pastries, in my limited experience: Salzburg, Austria.

Spent a week in Sydney and Canberra (work mostly, sad to say), and absolutely loved it, Tar. A great place.

That's a photo of Bondi, is it not?

As a result, my 'fridge is never without a jar of that wondrous, brown, pasty goo, Vegemite. So perfect on toast with one's mornings eggs.

Love the beet root on the burgers, as well.

[Freak Out]

Schweiz grub is fucking amazing. In the fall when you can get wild game on the menu is my favorite time....no tourists is a plus.

[Tarlam!]

You guys kill me!

Not sure if it's Bondi, George. I just punched Australia into the search machine. It's as decent as any Sydney beach I grew up on, it looks damned close to Bondi. But I haven't been there in 25 years. I mostly visit beaches some 80km north of Bondi when I go home.

Vegemite? Never leave home without it. Got me on the front page of the Herald in Sydney.

Freak, Schweiz, really? I am impressed.You flawed me, man. What a great Australia Day you all gave me. thank you all, so much.

[Freak Out]

I like the fact that the Dreamers still let everyone know just how fucked up the Colonists/Euro's were.
