Just looking at recent posts and it struck me as kinda funny that the post that has generated by far the most chat recently was about turkish delights and chocolate. Also, one of the most often discussed topics on this
forum is fridges to keep the beer and wine (oh, and food) cool. So am I right in thinking that our order of priorities is 1) beer/wine, 2) chocolates/munchies then 3) 4WDriving/touring????

Melissa, you are spot on. Not always in the products that are mentioned by you there but just think of the fact we all look for quality that delights us. Not always the cheapest beer these days. Not to excess but like to try some local product.
Well most times.
Taking it to the directions of the posts, off to the
York Peninsula for the summer or Tasmania instead of the inland. My wife searches her homework in Gourmet Traveller to see what delicacies are available. It has been to my peril if i am unaware of where she is taking me!! (That is another story too)
I just reckon it is nice to get the fresh fish or shellfish locally and the local brew if there is one otherwise substitute Coopers, scallop pies in eastern Tassie perhaps or a dozen of local oysters, Pacific or native.
There is nothing new in this development is there, but your observation is spot on. Michilin built their brand on the back of the food industry in France and built the food industry too for people seeking quality. We all seek it our own way now and to minimise the risk of dissapointment.
You got the order right drink, food and getting to the place, and of course the people to share the experience with. They all make it one with the other and none we want to avoid.
Like your web site too Melissa.
Cheers
john
