Our food situation, as you know, has been pretty pathetic over the past 6 months. There are so many great aspects of India... not many of them are edible! That said... take this food review as one coming from 5 little hungry bird beaks sitting in a nest!! Even a worm, if prepared the right way, would go over pretty big with us.
The food here in Sydney is quite diverse... You can get anything from sushi to pancakes, from nachos to shrimp on the bahhhhbie all within 1 city block.
Coffee is sold at little independent baristas absolutely EVERYWHERE in the city. There are a couple of Starbucks, although the locals won't be found dead there... just for tourists! They are serius about coffee here (LOVE IT!) ... they even have their very own coffee language. Order a "long black" which is a double shot of espresso poured over hot water. Or a flat white, which is much like we know a latte in America, except stronger. I pretty much order something from every barista I pass by. I think my coffee consumption is keeping the entire Australian economy afloat.
In one full week here, we have not eaten more than 1 meal in any given day... can you imagine that?? Our little India bellies just cannot handle the volume!! I will say that when we sit down to eat, it's like we are having our last supper, trust me we savor every bite. Check out Andrew eating chili nachos and pancakes with grilled bananas...
All the food has been awesome here! It's really a melting pot of ethnicities here... so, much like you find in NYC, the aussies are grilling everything (yes, even kangaroo!) , the Japanese are running the sushi bars... the Italians are making the pizza, the Chinese are whipping up the dim sum... and yes, although we will not eat it here... the Indians are shelling out the curry!!
