Thoughts on Food


Food – essential stuff, and finding it out on the road is a surprising experience.

For example, we have recently travelled through central QLD and found roadside stalls, often unmanned and with a simple honesty box, that have provided us with some of the most tasty, fresh and cheap food you could imagine. We have recently found avocados and tomatoes (half a dozen avos for $2.50 and 2kgs of farm fresh tomatoes for $2) that have provided us with tasty and healthy lunches with bananas fresh from the farm (a dollar a kilo or thereabouts) for dessert. On top of that we have come away from our friends’ place with a huge bag of sweet mandarines from their fruit trees.

Country butchers are also pretty good news too with some of the tenderest meats we have eaten plus some interesting smallgoods and pies etc. One in particular is the "Continental Butcher" in Wangan (near Innisfail) who has some superb products.

We are enjoying this gourmet travelling!
