Part of English cuisine is chips with everything, though they must get pretty soggy if you are having soup for dinner. Do you still put a fried egg on top of everything?

You're about 40 years out of date, Jeff ;)

These days, the national dish is curry.

Yes but that would be curried chips right? :p

Actually curry and other Asian delights are going from strength to strength Down Under. One of the strengths of immigration here has been the absolute explosion of fusion between differing styles of food. One of the English chefs put us onto Sri Lankian curries, absolutely the best way to do seafood imho. Sorry forgotten which one, Bueller anyone Bueller? - but he did a series looking through the differing Asian regions that I'm for sure going to pick up on DVD when it's released.

Same thing happening in Britain dude?

Rick Stein's Far East Odyssey ;) - it was a great show, nothing new for us in most of the food though, except for the Sri Lankan which was different.. he interviewed an English expat who had the best located house I have EVER seen... on a small island about 100m off the coast :D you had to wade into the knee high turquoise water to get to it!!! I was desperately in love with it! Going to buy the DVD's just for that one episode :D

We have been right into Asian food for a very long time here in Oz... it's now just part of our cuisine, these days more south east Asian I guess than Sub Continental - but there has been a curry house on every corner here for a long time too :p now there's a Curry house, a Thai place, a Vietnamese place, the obligatory 2 or 3 Chinese etc

I actually still prefer homemade :)

Tonight we are thinking about doing a few Thai nibbles for dinner, prawn cakes and chicken satay.. mmmmmm
 
Thanks DF, that was the one ... and here's Rick Down Under! Kier warning, yes that robotic sound would be the kiwi accent!

Brunch this fine Sunday morning.....

My version of Huevos Rancheros - fried eggs in a homemade spice tomato onion garlic chilli sauce, here with lean bacon added for extra yumminess!

Crackling is that fat on a Pork roast, you cook the roast so the meat's nice and tender but that fat forms a hard, for wont of a better word, crust .... so damn ymmy I'm feeling hungry now.
