I've just been reading an online article from The Age back in February entitled 'What Melbourne Foodies Miss'... sounds like pretty much every overseas traveller from Victoria craves exactly the same foods that are well nigh impossible to acquire in any other country. A lot of people say they hanker after certain types of beer and wine but, not being of that turn of mind, this is my list...
ESTHER'S TOP 20 AUSSIE FOOD CRAVINGS:
1. Deep fried dim sims
2. Spring rolls
3. Steamed dim sims with soy sauce
4. Sausage rolls
5. Banana malt milkshake at Max Brenner's in the Melbourne CBD
6. Meat pies that ARE meat pies
7. Battered flake and chips with a potato cake and more deep fried dim sims
8. Gourmet coffee, not just coffee that's brown water but where you have CHOICES and FLAVOURS!
9. Singapore noodles
10. Sausages that aren't fat and weird tasting!
11. Chicken parmagiana from La Porchetta or similar
12. Honey soy chicken wingettes
13. Ham steaks fried with pineapple rings on top
14. NANDO'S NANDO'S NANDO'S
15. Cadbury snack chocolate
16. Big M milk that comes in more than just chocolate
17. Magnums, esp. the classic and peppermint versions. The white's not bad either!
18. One of those cheap hot dogs with onion in a piece of white bread, like at Farmworld
19. Kangaroo anything
20. One of those disgusting hot dogs from Donut King with the frankfurter thingy in it. Burp. Yum!
I think I'm going to come back to Australia for like 2 solid months just to eat!!!!! :P
I can't believe Nandos is only number 14! If I was rich, it'd be my number 1! =) Nomes x
