THanks Don, but I was back for two weeks just a couple weeks back, and got my fix of local-made brats and ate plenty of cheese and good ol' corn fed beef. I did miss the meat pies and local pizza here, tho....
Here, the cheddar-like cheese is termed tasty. Sharp cheddar is extra tasty. When I enquired at the deli counter for some "sharp cheddar" I got a blank look at first (altho sharp is also a descriptive term here, but the young person didn't quite know that). Finally she realized I was (at the time) Oz-impaired, and asked me very nicely "Would you like some tasty cheese or extra tasty?"
I didn't quite know what to say....I mean, who is going to say "No, no tasty cheese...Do you have any fetid cheese?" to a question like that?
But I soon found that extra tasty is Aussie for sharp cheddar.
No, thanks Don, I'm okay for now. Still luxuriating in the fabulously varied ethnic food offerings of Melbourne. It's amazing, I am eating my way thru this town.
Haven't quite gotten the cohones to try kangaroo meat yet, tho...
