Nicely said All foods (like people) are good just some better than
others

One learns a lot from this little bunch of folks .

Weird thing is todays sheep prices even old wethers are have gone to
160 AUD I shudder to think what price lamb hogget and mutton will be
in the butchers for those to hav eto buy from a butcher later this year .
Already Lobster ( beach price) is about the same lamb (shop price)

Know which one I Prefer <big grin >

But tonights dinner is Bak Choy and tofu veggies to go with
the half inch thick porterhouse done rare to medium

Maybe other can scoff the Asian stuff while I just do field mushrooms
Been raining here and the Golf course is full of them with a red wine
sauce and mashed spuds .
In front of the open fire with a nice Sobels Hunter red used in the
sauce and whats left for us both
