What Australians Eat – This is pretty shocking stuff (to this caveperson, anyway). As the Snook put it, “The average australian eats 2kg broccoli in a year. I think we eat that in a month.” I was also depressed by this: “When we cook, a Westfield survey found more than half Australians rotate between a repertoire of five meals or fewer.” No wonder bread, junk food, and fries are so popular.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Man, 2kg a year?! And 30g of asparagus?! We get through that much veg in a month too (well, that much asparagus in one sitting). I *would* eat chips every day if I didn’t care about my weight and didn’t care about having constant indigestion. But I don’t like being obese, and I don’t like having constant gastric reflux, so I eat well. Amazing that other people put up with all that just so they can eat chips all the time.
We are always trying new reecipes – from the weekend papers or from online sources. We use the paprika app for online sources, or we put the successful ones in a box to be re-used. Plus we have a shelf of cookbooks that we puruse fromn time to time and mark for new ideas. I would get bored if I ate the same five things all the time.
