Something New: Week 18 – Foie Gras
by Ranil on Aug.18, 2009, under Life List, Places To Eat In Sydney, Something New
One of my favourite pastimes is eating different foods. I like the adventure that comes with going outside of your usual food comfort zones and sampling something your palette has never tried before. It’s rare when I turn down a food I’ve never tried before simply because my philosophy has always been try everything at least once. If you don’t like it never eat it again but half the journey that comes from travelling is about trying the food. So last week I added to my eclectic list of food forays – including scorpion, balut, and freshly caught frogs – the french dish Foie Gras.
Something New: Week 17 – The Argyle and Lowenbrau

This is long overdue. I should have posted this up weeks ago but I’ve been a bit lazy and tied up with other things. Weeks ago a couple of cousins and I decided to meet up after work for a few drinks. This of course quickly degenerated into a night of almost 4 liters of Franziskaner and a variety of flavors of schnapps. Yes, drinking in Sydney has never tasted so good.
