As a kid, we got bugger all food. And we were always hungry. Probably
one reason I hate seeing people waste food, I love cooking food and
giving it to all my friends.

My CA wife was a supposed vego. She didn't want any meat in the house
(even tried to turn her 3 cats into vegos!! thy used to *love* me when
she went out!! ;-), and didn't want any meat at our wedding reception,
only vego dishes. I finally dragged it out of her that *she* was going
to be the only vego there. You think the reception was going to be only
vego dishes?? HELL NO!!

LOL!! Yeah, right........ have 60 skydiving buddies jump into a vego
feast!!

You'd smell them before you'd see them!!

Last time I went to the Barossa Valley, I found some absolute crackers
there.

Chicken with spinach and pinenut sausages.

So now my sister (who lives down there) has taken to sending me up the
empty wrappers and photos of here chomping on the snags..... the
biatch!! :-)

I'll be down there next month :-)

I actually had to Google what's in a Shirley Temple. I just remember
seeing "Radar O'Rielly" on MASH ordering one at the bar everytime.

Lots of different varieties.
