Three different beef/steak pies are pictured here. The two shots on the bottom left are of the pies whose insides are showing on the right.

All pies were purchased and consumed in different parts of regional Victoria, Australia, at various times.

Pre-Christmas BBQ (files.catbox.moe)
submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by Aesecakes@aussie.zone to c/foodporn@lemmy.world

It is summer here in Australia and it’s quite common to do this type of food at this time of year. What we refer to as a barbecue is what many would call a grill. And no, we don’t call them shrimp. Whatever you choose to call them, it was all delicious.

Description, clockwise from bottom:

  • Pork and fennel sausages with Argentinian chimichurri
  • Australian banana prawns
  • Corn on the cob (boiled and finished on the grill)
  • Halloumi, onion, red and green capsicum (pepper) and mushroom skewers
  • Potato salad

I lived in the UK for 10 years and am married to a Scot, so I understand the similarities and differences!

Good effort by Robe Seafood and Takeaway. Crispy and light batter, excellent chips. Just the thing on a long, solo road trip.

I if I had ordered 24 of these it would have cost more than the rest of the meal (for two) combined!

Good point. I nicked the description from an indicative menu on their website as I forgot to note what it said on the menu when I went there. Clearly they altered it since then. Will edit title of ~~point~~ post. I definitely did eat it!

This plant that is endemic to SE continental Australia, was named by Baron Sir Ferdinand Jacob Heinrich von Mueller, the first director of the Royal Botanic Garden, Melbourne. The genus Banksia is named after Joseph Banks, a naturalist who was on Cook’s first Pacific voyage in the 1770s. Its binomial name is b.ornata.

For anyone who plays Wingspan, the board game, this is one of the types of plant that the nectar food source comes from.

Callistemon! Edit - Callistemon citrinus has been reclassified as Melaleuca citrina. AKA the common red bottlebrush, crimson bottlebrush or lemon bottlebrush. It's endemic to Eastern Australia. Therefore...

PS - not weird in the slightest

I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen. I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving me house. I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too, it gives me a sense of enormous wellbeing. And then I'm happy for the rest of the day, safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it.

I left Spotify for similar reasons. I chose Tidal because comparatively more is paid to artists (still tiny amounts per play). Just like switching from anything (Reddit to Lemmy, PC to Mac, Coke to Pepsi, underwear to commando, iPhone to Android), there are differences to get used to but it's not too bad. They do have curated playlists by editors, radio station based on your taste, "rising" track by genre etc. I think they have a free tier if you live in the US. but unfortunatley not yet available outwith.
