The Kirks

In the last two weeks, we’ve eaten a huge variety of interesting and unusual food. There were the Green Ants followed by a succession of oddities like Kangaroo, Camel, Emu and Crocodille. Surprisingly (maybe) all of these have been great. The continent has moved along since the days when the national dish was toast. The most prominent thing on the menu is always Barramundi. A very tasty freshwater fish which seems to be available in huge quantities.

The influence of “Modern Australian” cooking is everywhere: kangaroo with wild berry jus and shaved parmesan et al.. But all in all it’s very good and cheap. The wine is, of course, exceptional.
