Don't Come the Raw Prawn with Me, Mate

Oct14

Translation: Don't bullshit me.  I have a friend, she's from Australia and whenever we hang out I pick up some kind of cool Aussie slang.  Her accent and voice are so recognizable that my friend Jake singled her out in a crowded bar one night - never having met her - solely based on a description from me.

One day, a couple of years ago before we actually became friends, we were sitting in the park while our kids played and I said that I was starving.  She immediately told me to run across the street to Tuck Shop and pick up a sausage roll to snack on.  I ran, I bought, I ate and I was hooked.  This wonderful Australian snack shop is perfect for a quick bite or a full blown meal.  I started with being hooked on the rolls and then recently discovered the meat pie.  Oh My G...!  This meat pie is heaven.  Crispy, succulent crust with creamy, delicious meat filling. Utter, divine gastronomic delight.  It is unbelievable alone but add a couple of dashes of hot sauce and you will be addicted!

For dinner stop into Tuck Shop, grab a few meat pies and prepare a side salad.  Tuck in.  This is the real deal where food is concerned.  No bullshit.


Cook. Eat. Enjoy


Restaurant Spotlight

Ipuddo, 65 4th Avenue

The greeting when you walk into the dining room is a definite indicator as to how your meal will go; comforting, familiar and soul warming. Every time we go to Ipuddo the meal is the same: Pork buns and Akamaru Modern ramen. The pork is mouth wateringly moist and the creamy ramen broth is unbelievably flavorful. Whether you decide on a quick lunch or a late and lazy dinner, your appetite will thank you.
