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.

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
 

Malachite butterfly, Siproeta stelenes

Thanks for asking. I’ll add a description to the post a bit later with what I can remember. The red meat is flank.

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.

Thanks for asking. It's a crumb of some type. I was too agog at the prospect of my nice meal that I forgot to note down all the details from the menu. Can assure you that it was delicious. The crumb added a nice texture to the soft scallop and the butter's smoothness and flavouring didn't overpower things.

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!

Thanks for posting. I was lucky enough to visit Stockholm, once. The art in the stations was really cool. Would love to return there one day. 🙂

According to this and a couple of other sources, yes, some species of Banksia have been used for their nectar. It’s possible that seeds and fruit may also be edible but don’t take my word for it.

The climate there would be good growing conditions. I hope it doesn’t cause issues though. Introduced species can sometimes be problematic.

 

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.

Those who like Slowdive (there seem to be a few on here) will probably know this alt-country band formed by former members, Neil Halstead, Ian McCutcheon and Rachel Goswell after they were dropped by Creation Records. They were joined by keyboardist Alan Forrester and Chapterhouse guitarist, Simon Rowe and picked up by 4AD.

They put out some really impressive music across 5 studio albums. This song is my particular fave because in provided a soundtrack to a period in 2021 in British Columbia, that I spent hanging out with a German girl on the north shore of Vancouver. It's so evocative for me.

Soon after she (and her sister) went back to Germany, I saw Mojave 3 play at the Starfish Room. I also got to a few of their shows England after I moved there to live.
