I was listening to Triple J the other day (Australian youth oriented radio station for those those Kiwis among you who are busy scratching your heads) and one of the presenters was getting something of a grilling from one of his (female) friends, who was giving him a hard time for having a jar (glass, not plastic) of Vegemite with a best before date of 1989 in his pantry. I though that this was a superb effort to have food that old in the cupboard, and even more impressive (and something of a testament to (or perhaps an indictment of) vegemite) that even when it has been open for 15 odd years beyond it’s best by date it doesn’t need to be thrown out (and is still edible to open minded connoisseurs).

Summer ale export petition
Being back in NZ I invariably take the opportunity to re-acquaint myself with the fine local beers, and always find myself wishing that I could get Monteiths Summer Ale in back in Australia. I’m sure that I am not the only person who would buy it if they sent it our way. Perhaps I should start a petition. 🙂
