I've been here four and a half years and can't get in to Vegemite or Sausage Rolls (not to mention Cabanosi) no matter how hard my boyfriend gets me to try. I'm more of a fake sushi eater (i.e. California Rolls and Crunch Rolls) but I've been disappointed by all the rolls I've had here so far.lilDdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07105226149842590398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041909395799559244.post-57138134007585373172009-07-04T18:31:30.429+10:002009-07-04T18:31:30.429+10:00My shrimper eats sushi!

Gregg and I watch it religiously! But yes, Mod Oz can be confusing. As a sidenote, have you read any of Bill Granger's cookbooks? He's a great Aussie chef, but SO uncomplicated. I love his recipes!<br /><br />I think it is fantastic Beji is into sushi! He's so cool, so hip!<br /><br />I'm with you on the sausage roll thing. Yuck. Sad thing is that once he acquires a taste for it, it might never leave him. Gregg still eats them from time to time.
