Tasty Tidbits

So we thought we would post some tasty finds we have found thus far:

1. Coopers Brewery Extra Strong Stout - Billy's new favorite beer. One bottle packs the equivalent of 2 drinks and yet, it is more delicious than all american beers. It's like dessert! (Note, kersti's favorite is Crown's lager - which is just lovely and doesn't pack the punch of cooper's.)

2. Violet Crumble - say it with an english or australian accent, and it sounds even betta. This fine candy bar is chocolate covered honeycomb which is not to be missed. We did try the violet crumble flavored gelato, but I assure you, it is not the same, and not worth eating, no matter how hungry you are.

3. Turkish Delight - this is my (kersti) new found staple... I have been sneaking bites here and there, and have taken to biting off just part of a square, and putting it back in the box, to make it appear to billy, that I have not eaten as many. Now there are many variations of this... but I'm talking about a homemade version from the local deli, that is rose flavored with chunks of almonds inside. It's so damn good that I can't stop thinking about it...

4. Puffies - Soo good! These are puff balls with vanilla custard injected into them... nice!

5. Rocket - A type of green that is zesty and oh so flavorful, or should I write, flavourful now? It's terrific... maybe part of the mustard family. I just feel so healthy eating it!

So you might have noticed that our top four new favorites make up only the beer and candy food groups. Don't worry, we eat protein and vegetables too, they just aren't as noteworthy. We did try a meat pie... it was good. Now...

Foods to AVOID

-1. Pizza Marinara - it was covered in miscellaneous seafood... squid, anchovies, muscles, etc... with a little cheese and tomato sauce. Totally gross. And at that same dinner, we realized that ordering the house wine in Australia, is a baaaad idea.

-2. Mayonnaise with mustard in it.

-3. Yo-Yo's - bland, borderline old, shortbread cookies with cream between the two rounds. (look's like a yo-yo). Gross.

That's all for now!
