Did you know they eat food in Canberra? Me either!
OK, that's not exactly true.
I really thought everyone subsisted on deliveries of sandwich triangles on plastic trays under GladWrap™. They'd take them home from their public sector jobs under their witches' cloaks – in preparation for the solstice naked dance around a fire. And now I come to think of it, I used to live with a pastor's son in Braddon whose lawyer girlfriend would bring over parcels of meat wrapped in tin foil, claiming them to be from her father's abattoir; I secretly suspected it to be human flesh...
Anyway, it's not true, people really DO eat in our fair nation's capital, and – what's more – in restaurants! Our roving correspondent and darling socialite Sue Stanic brought this article to my attention. It seems that Canberra restaurants have come a long way in the decades since I saw Laurie Oakes (pictured) eating the full feast menu at a Turkish belly dancing restaurant (at the time he was HUGE, with a skinny head and a bottom that overflowed the chair... he looked like someone had pinched a hanky with their fingers and then pulled it up!!!)
I'm putting the link to this drool-worthy article here by way of a bookmark, should I return to the ACT for a visit. I thought YOU might be interested too, especially in case you're from China and need to take out a politician to explain why dissidents should be silenced, great new coal investment opportunities explored and the details of the new "heavenly auspicious" slush fund you're creating for them.
