Cornel,
Cairns is in Queensland, and is a hot spot there, being a gateway to the
great Australian Barrier Reef. I do not know of Croc meat; but some places
have service with Kangaroo meat if some one wants it. The Yarra is
Melbourne's ;muddy'// river; not so bad'; developed all over, in the city
area with beaut parks, restaurants alfresco style, and shopping malls with
boutique shops, etc. A wide and long promenade along the river, with bicycle
tracks is one of the highlights, of the Yarra. You probably seen the sheer
beauty of the area, if you watched the Commonwealth Games recently.
Beef is one or Australia's finer meat produce; and is exported in large
quantities specially to Japan and SE Asia. Mouth watering! I go for Beef and
Veal, most times; hate lamb, as it also smells a bit compared to Goat meat.
But there is also, so called 'Kobe Beef' produced in Japan in limited
quantities, is very good! This Kobe Beef is produced by feeding Cattle with
imported special Hay from the USA and other nourishments like beer and Saki
etc. There is a chain of restaurants in Japan which cater exclusively to
Kobe Beef. Only those who visit Japan know about it. Otherwise people think
that Japan has no beef of its own.
As for Vinicola in plastic bottles, I am surprised too! As recently, in
Margao at Christmas time I was presented with Vinicola in a glass (Ketchup
size) bottle, by a Goan Lady from London on holiday.
First time I ate 'horse meat' was in Hamburg, Germany; when a German friend
intoduced the same to me as 'Wurst' the popular German sausage. I believe
they learnt to eat horse during the War Days, when meat was scarce; Only
certain parts of horse are eaten; I like the taste though; could not make
out the difference.
See Ya!

Wouldn't a crocodile steak be better on the banks of the Yarra? I only
discovered the availability of crocodile when asked if I wanted it in my
burger in Cairns. I was as surprised as when offered horse in Belgium once.
I did eat the horse but not the croc!

PS The plastic bottles for wine in Goa took my edge off Vinicola recently.
Why plastic?
