Con started it. , sharing a pic of what got her through this very, very Wintery start to June.

She also pointed out that you could guess her cultural background from her preference.

My coffee table is full of immigrant experience. So is my pantry.

South Australia is about 95% similar to the south west of Western Australia where I spent my first half-century. Every so often, however, I will look up and see a huge dark shape flitting across the night sky and think “BAAAAAAAAAT HOLY HECK!”, while everyone else around me is calm, collected and going about an unremarkable evening. Or some strange grey bird will hop on the pavement and I will have no idea how it will move next, or what it will sound like.

I have been deliberately embracing and exploring that 5% of unique and discombobulating strangeness when I can.

Which is how I ended up scoffing Fru-Chocs this evening.

And why my pantry has an almost-empty packet of South Australia’s own ”Nonna’s Big Biscuits” . Yes, I bought them mainly for the name and provenance. If I was a tiramisu maker, they probably would have ended up as that.

I could be wrong here, but I don’t recall W.A. having anything so wholesome associated with it? Lots of fabulous boutique beers and wines… but comfort foods??

I must be wrong here, but anyone know any?
