aussie food

[wombat50]

on a eariler post zip506 said that the evening meals on the pacific sun were crap and he wanted aussie meals so here is the question what is a ''aussie meal'' and also what is one of your favourite meals.
one of mine would be the typ bbq, cause after a few drinks it dont matter weather the food is undercooked or overcooked it all taste good lol
i though the evening meals on the pacific sun were great couldnt complain at all

Hi wombat, among the evening meals thought of as crap,are these I love.

pumpkin soup.
Roast Lamb and vegies.
bread and butter custard.
I order them every cruise whenever they are on.

I also agree with you about a bbq.

if passenger did not like what was on menu, they can always have
grilled fish or chicken, with caesar salad. and chips.
then again they probably wouldn't like that ..

I know everyone is allowed to have an opinion on whatever they liked or disliked on a cruise.
but to me they were clutching at straws because there is so much to chose from every night.

kind regards, Lorraine:) :)

mmmmm make my BBQ in a weber and I'm a happy girl!

Australia is all about our multiculturalism- so fusion food from all nations is as Australian now as meat pie at a saturday footy game.

P&O is not 5 star- so considering I found the food to be very satisfactory- sometimes even downright delicious!

Everyone has differing personal tastes when it comes to food...but it's pretty sad when an adult can't enter a restaurant with an open mind to try some different cuisine from time to time.

I think the barbie is typically Australian. The other thing than identifies us is the choice of fresh local ingedients, so we can eat from such a wide menu. Typically, I like to stir fry all our greens and throw in chicken or beef or pork or prawns. At a restaurant (I expect on a cruise too) to have several choice that I would like.

Geoff, hope you had a great time last night!!
I love the BBQ but wanted to share this wonderful insight with you all - you men will hate it but your wifes will want to print it out and laminate it (I did!!:D )
BBQ RULES
We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity.
When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

ROUTINE
1) The woman buys the food
2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking places it on a tray along with necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand
4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

HERE COMES THE IMPORTANT PART:
5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine.....
6) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery
7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thatnks her and asks if she will bring another beer... while he flips the meat

IMPORTANT AGAIN:
8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN
More routine....
9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces and brings them to the table
10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL:
11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts
12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off". And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women.

We are having the BBQ debate ATM. Hubby is stating a BBQ is all about the meat where as I like alot of different salads and side dishes. Help!!!! Who is right? You can not have a BBQ with just meat you need all the salads/breads pre dinner tasties ect.

[marconi]

And you women better not forget to victor mow the lawn as well lol

Sorry but hubby is nearly correct. you do need to have some bread or something to put it on otherwise you burn your hand. :confused:
If it doesn't go on the BBQ plate it ain't part of the barbie, and therefore is a waste.:p
If women want to go overboard with all the unneccessary trimmings then it is up to them to prepare the extras. :p The only reson any woman would be asked to put the meat on a plate and bring it out to the barbie is because the bloke would get told off if he just picked it up and took it out !:rolleyes:

OK I've got my flame suit on ! Go for it girls.:eek:

Yeah all fine now, back to 100% exept I want to go on a cruise from Hawaii to Sydney.:D :D

Some of the best barbies have nothing more than snags wrapped in a bit of bread with sauce dripping all over the yard, all the other stuff is overkill. Except the beer in the other hand !!;)
