Stuart Gilbert46, 47, 48 - Barramundi, Australian Meat Pie, Moreton Bay Bugs

I went on holiday recently and part of the trip was spent on the Gold Coast of Australia. While I was there I knocked off three things from my list.

Barramundi was really nice. I don’t normally care for seafood that much, but I would definitely eat this more often if it wasn’t so inconveniently located. Yum.

I bought a meat pie from a pie shop beside the motorway. My friend asked the lady for the most Australian pie. It was tasty, even if I did drop the whole thing on the floor before I ate it.

Moreton Bay is really close to where I stayed, so it was easy to find somewhere with the bugs. I ate them in a really nice restaurant, and they were pretty good. It’s not the nicest thing I’ve ever eaten by any stretch of the imagination, but I definitely wasn’t going to miss out on checking this one off while I was there. My friend Dan had them prepared a different way and his looked much more interesting, so I’ve uploaded a picture of his meal instead of mine. :)

Only two more items to go. I have a feeling that alligator will be considerably easier than guinea pig. 5 months ago


Stuart Gilbert45/50 - Durian

I’m in Singapore at the moment and so I’ve had a chance to try durian for the first time.

The smell is pretty bad. The texture is sort of like a slimey avocado. If you can get past both of those things then the actual flesh of the fruit is pretty nice.

It does seem like a lot of effort for a small amount of fruit though, as most of each segment is a big seed. 6 months ago


Stuart Gilbert44/50 - Reindeer

This should really be number 43 as I had it quite a while ago. I saw some sliced reindeer (sounds weird to say that) in the Ikea food store when I went there with Cheryl and I had it in some delicious sandwiches at work.

Nice, but not exactly common around here so I probably won’t be having it again for a while. 16 months ago


Stuart Gilbert43/50 - Shark

I had shark’s fin soup at a Chinese restaurant last night. It tasted like generic seafood, so yeah. Pretty much what I expected, won’t be bothering with it again as it’s probably been made in a terrible cruel way. 16 months ago
