Lord Howe Island - Food

Most nights at Pinetrees are 3 course meals. Except fish fry Monday. Sushi, sashimi, salads, fish, chips and as much desert as you can eat.



Fish Markets (5)

In the old days you bashed your octopus on a rock, these days you tenderise it in a cement mixer.

Don't eat the fish!

Let them eat cake

Cravings

If you're going to satisfy a craving, do it properly.

All the Bad Things

Gotta love this time of year. (Centre right isn't wine, by the way, its olive oil.)

Christmas Shopping (2)

Buy your nearest and dearest a DJ's hamper.

Christmas Shopping

One of the best places to (window) shop is David Jones' food hall. One day I might indulge myself. Shelves of Christmas puddings.

Night Noodle Market

The Night Noodle Market is held for two weeks each year on weeknights in Hyde Park in the centre of Sydney as part of the Sydney International Food Festival. Its expensive, some would say overpriced, and gets extremely crowded. This and the following shots were taken between 5.30 and 6.00 pm. If you aren't there by 5.30 forget about getting a table and towards 7.00 pm the queues for 15 minutes to get a meal.

Not Sydney - Adelaide (3)

City Market - I'd love to have this in the centre of Sydney.

Coffee on the Move

These coffee vans are very popular at music festivals and other events. This one was catering to people having a look at the Queen Mary.

Ours no More

Unfortunately Dairy Farmers (originally a cooperative of dairy farmers) is no longer Australia's milk. It was recently taken over by National Foods, a unit of Japanese brewing giant Kirin.

Heaven

My willpower weakened and I went in to the Lindt chocolate shop. I came away with a bar of dark chocolate with chilli - Heaven!
