Australian food while good, isn’t very different from food here in the US. You have your sandwiches and pizzas, and ethnic foods like Indian and Thai. A few items are different like the meatpies but if you consider them, they’re like handsized chicken pot pies, only stuffed with a variety of fillings. Coffee beverages are better than what you can find here easily, but coffee is what it is. Even dishes with Australian natives like roos, crocs, and emu are still typical dishes, just with a different kind of meat. Pad thai with kangaroo still tastes like pad thai. Maybe I’m going a little overboard with playing it down. Really, all the food we ate there was very good.

One food in particular has stayed in my mind. That stuff they sell in the grocery stores is unlike any yogurt I’ve ever had here. Maybe it was Greek yogurt and I haven’t tried that here yet. However, it was thick, creamy, smooth, perfect. They had mango and passionfruit flavored yogurts and even apple cinnamon. I love cinnamon! I had a dream last night about the Australian yogurts. My homemade yogurt while good and fresh, isn’t thick or creamy. I miss the good stuff.

Went out and got some Wallaby yogurt last weekend.  Haven’t tried them all yet, but I like the banana vanilla flavor.
