Re: [Goanet] Re a crocodile burger
Hi Nasci Many thanks for the exchange of info on different delicacies. I did spend time on the lazy Yarra and enjoyed Melbourne very much, Christmas 2003, even though it was incredibly cold that year. In contrast to London and UK cities generally, Australian cities are remarkably lacking in congestion and most pleasurable for visits. Your population of 20 million contrasts sharply with some 60 million in a much smaller UK and you have all the space and varied landscape one could wish for, including around hot and very dry Uluru, (spelling?), lovely red earth, just like parts of Goa. I'd like to visit OZ again and may do so in April 2008 taking in Western Australia for the first time.

The McDonald sandwich - named after its creator Scott McDonald, the chef at London department store Selfridges - is said to be the world's most expensive. Its cost is down to the Wagyu beef that makes up most of the filling, packed in a 24-hour fermented sour dough bread. There have been at least five advance orders placed for the 21oz (595g) meal. If you are a food lover, this represents great value for money Ewan Venters Selfridges food director Wagyu cattle are one of the most expensive breeds in the world. The Japanese cows are raised on a special diet, including beer and grain. They are supposed to be regularly massaged with sake, the Japanese rice wine, to tenderize the flesh. -- DIE DULCI FREURE, DEV BOREM KORUM. Gabe Menezes.

RE: [Goanet] Re a crocodile burger
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!

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!

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! Cornel PS The plastic bottles for wine in Goa took my edge off Vinicola recently. Why plastic? _ Do not post admin requests to the list. Goanet mailing list (Goanet@goanet.org)
