Walk in Yass

Yass is a dangerous place.

Yee haa!

I noticed Australian bird life was colourful, but this is ridiculous.

Fluoro green gummy bears.
Yum.

In Praise of the Sardine

Sardines are back in fashion. That makes me trendy. I've always eaten sardines on toast.

I've never been a 'Sardinista'. You know - someone who eats sardines because it's the 'right' thing to do. Mind you, those sardinistas have a point:

1. It takes at least 3kg of sardines to produce 0.4kg of tuna.
("Eating tuna and salmon is the functional equivalent of eating grizzly bears and cougars on land" - Mike Sutton, King Sardinista.

2. Sardines are lower on the food chain and have probably consumed less harmful substances overall.

The problem with sardines is that they're very fishy. They look like fish. They taste like fish. You'll never pass a meal of sardines off as 'chicken' or something. (Sardines are perhaps the one meat that doesn't taste like chicken.) And at 65c a can at Aldi you could be forgiven for thinking that makes a meal for two a little too good to be true.

I just bought a whole pile of them. The ultimate fast food.
