Well, Australian readers, how authentic does this look? I understand that this is not the height of Antipodean cuisine. The sausage roll was basically a thick frozen American breakfast sausage rolled into a dry crust. The meat pie was a lot of air and had tiny flecks of beef smeared with a salty Worcestershire sauce-like gravy.
The best part of the experience was what I overheard. The food was served in a donut shop in a gritty town. A loud man in a wife beater shirt was chatting it up with a waitress. He proudly declared that in high school, in the early 1990s, his good friend stomped on his foot and he lost a toenail. That toe was never able to grow a nail again. "For a fat guy, I have beautiful feet."
Indeed.
The Serbian church in town is having a food festival next week but I will not be in town. Off the top of my head, I can realistically eat at Uzbek, Mongolian, Honduran, Barbadian, Jamaican, Austrian, Swiss, Cambodian, Cameroonian, Bangladeshi, Jordanian, Iraqi, Syrian, Turkish,....
