A great, thick, juicy steak; five large mushrooms, covered with butter and slices of garlic and grilled until they blackened; a leek, fried in olive oil.

Mmm. Happy now.

Isn't that just the natural state for an Aussie? :-)

Hrmm - now that you mention it, I do often crave steak.

But you're in Australia; within four hours you can fulfill this craving. This steak cost ten Aussie dollars *raw*, and was neither as large nor as tasty as the five-dollar steak meal at the hotel over the road when I was in Sydney -- and that steak meal had potatoes, and sauce, and everything.

I don't know how they do it, it wasn't even as if the beer were notably expensive to make up the price, and Australia seems no better a land for cows than Gloucestershire.

Oh it's not the actual craving itself - just that I was getting it too damned early in the morning to be realistic. I've been doing this a lot lately. Figure it's all the extra exercise.
Oh yes - our uni cafe does a very nice steak, salad and chips for $10 aus (and its good steak). Unfortuantely they dont have alcohol licence til 4pm so it's not something I can get lunchtime. Though in current frame of mind the less beer I have the better. *grin*

Mmmm.....

Garlic mushrooms? Leeks fried in olive oil? Drooooool.

What is this steak of which you speak?

No, you fool. Wrap the *leek* in tinfoil and bake it (along with an onion, wrapped in tinfoil as well) for an hour in a moderate oven. Then unwrap them and add butter and pepper. Meanwhile, fry the mushrooms in olive oil along with the garlic and a little white wine. That's the way to do it.

I grilled a couple of leeks this time round, along with a pork chop; didn't try wrapping them. Reasonably nice; I should probably have baked them with the nasty outer leaves still on, then removed those after they'd sacrificially kept the interior moist and tasty. I slit one down the middle and the other not; no interesting difference. Should have done garlic mushrooms too, fool that I am.
