The food thread

That's another one that really ****es me off. I used to buy lamb shank really cheap compared with the other cuts and now, now it's the same price per kg as the leg.

Veal shank is off the wall due to the trendiness of Osso Buco so the lamb is still well below that, I have the butcher saw them down into 3" pieces so I can get at all the marrow (sorry jacco).

yeah lamb saddle is normally sold as loin here, you get with flank still attached Scott? good for an amazing rolled roast with that on and cheaper.

the Beef, duck and pork are extremely good from the gippsland joint too, loving their pork scotch fillet and belly. its getting on 1.5x what I pay for good Queensland meat, but just so damn good every time

indeed Cal, Osso Bucco is another one, and Oxtail; all that slow cooking stuff that used to be a bargain, still not too bad, but far more than it used to be.
 
Cheese shop, antiques, café, student slave positions, only things missing on the list are a mushroom shop and a brothel, aka sex farm.

With the heathen blasphemy added, they should be incommunicado'd, excommunicated, and extradited.

(it's an outrage, those hicks reside at 600 yards from the beach, with a clear view at the Cobequid bay)

Wow, I really can't top "Maggot ripened". :crazy:

However, if you guys ever make it out this way you must try some Dragon's Breath Blue from That Dutchman's Farm (That Dutchman's Farm) (no offennse intended Jacco).

They say they would mail one to me. Reminds me of the worst dinner conversation stopper ever. I served a slightly over the top Blue de Bresse and one of the guests said, "This smells like semen".
 
Real stinky cheese - Cabrales.

Cheese from Spain - Cabrales

Once I had to get out of a restaurant because the guy at the next table was eating it. I almost puked. It's the smell of stinking shoes only x1000 more intense. I can't believe people get near that cheese.

Luckily I live 1/2 mile from arguably one of the 3 best cheese shops in the country. Their aged Manchego is a family favorite, I'll bet they have this at one time or another. That is the correct smell BTW, yummy.
