The Travel channel's, "Bizarre Foods", starring Andrew Zimmern, did an episode on Eastern Australia. First up : Sydney. "Australia is all about contradictions. It's home to one of the oldest civilizations, and the most modern world-class cities."
#1 - Kangaroo Tail Soup : Tastes like beef... Then let's eat a cow! No matter what, I can't come home from Sydney and not be able to say that I tried this...
#2 - Quandong : A fruit harvested from trees that can only grow if the seed has germinated in an Emu's digestive system, and sprouted in it's dung. Yum!
#3 - Vegemite : It has been estimated that 9 out of 10 Australians have vegemite in their homes. Try it on toast, with butter. I'm sure we'll be able to find it in any restaurant!
#4 - Tiger Pie : Sold at Harry's Cafe de Wheels. "You can't go to Sydney and not have a Tiger Pie from Harry's." It is pie crust, holding meat stew, mashed potatoes, mushy peas, and a dollop of gravy on top. Meat pies are a staple of Australian eating, but the Tiger Pie is considered to be top of the line.
I'm all for trying new things, but kangaroo will be a tad interesting!
By the way... Quandong sounds rough! Lol. Trying new things is cool but I don't know if I'd be able to do it now that I've read the description!!!
ReplyDeleteYes it has an interesting description... But who doesn't like fruit that grows from poop? Hahaha
