the redbull in thailand doesn't have any bubbles in it. is horrible.
the bacon in KFC burgers is even less bacon-looking in QLD than it is in the rest of autralia. |

It's KFC. It's most likely not actually bacon. LOL. |

| yeah, but that's what i mean. the not-bacon in QLD is different to the not-bacon elsewhere. |

I tried a lot of butchers as well, in MANY cities in the UK. Maybe I was just unlucky, I don't know.
You'll understand when you come over here to visit, eventually :p Our meat and produce are among the best in the world, which is why we're a huge exporter for it :D |
I've eaten Australian Lamb. It's good but not quite comparable with our spring lamb which is especially delicate and delicious. I have strawberry issues though, most supermarket ones suck now. I was amazed because in one store in ontario, i found organic californian ones at $1.99 for 225g and they were the best I've had in 20 years. So good I went back the next day & bought 3 more packs of them. |

yeah... it's pretty nasty. thankfully, i live in such a small village we get our milk fresh from the farm! it tastes great, even though it smells a little bit like cow...
in toulouse i only ever had the crazy pasteurized stuff. i tried to put a new unopened bottle in the fridge b/c i thought someone left it out and they explained to me it didn't have to be refrigerated until it was opened. i was like ... :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: |

I grew up near dairy farms. That's the best milk you can get, nothing beats it :D
Nearly impossible to get now, living in a city :( |

| The stuff I buy in spain is tasty but once it's open even in a fridge it goes off within 48 hrs or so. |

My uncle slaughtered a cow for christmas and my cousin dropped about half of it off today, whole freezer is a bovine crime scene :gsmile:
The french have rubbish milk but they do make up for it with their cheeses and pastry's that are really good, compared to most Aust and NZ cheeses which are sort of average-meh. They aren't as terrible as US cheese and some white crap in a bottle pretending to be milk, I don't know what they do to it over there but its unholy.
Think I've managed to avoid most of the chain-restaurants when I could when travelling, nearly died from Taco Bell in NY. Though I think the majority of McD's and the like probably still rate over most things in Scotland that has a national cuisine speciality of 'not-food' |
