Yes I'm in the US, New York. I looked up images for Australian pizza. I've seen it made like that in other states and didn't like it (except one place in Atlanta). When I said better pizza than anywhere I meant in the US, although people in Chicago disagree...too. Never eat those hot dogs. We call them dirty water dogs. I won't eat a hog unless it's grilled, and that's rarely ever. I've never had anything in the city that was better than on Long Island. (Rays famous pizza wasn't bad).
A big clue if you'll like the food....taste the water. Maybe I could get an Australian pizza shipped here? And a glass of water! ๐
Next time you come I'm sure you'll like this one.....

Jimmy, I feel from reading your post that you would like it here where I live. We are on the mid north coast of NSW near the Queensland border. It is a mixture of a fishing town surrounded by dairies, vegetable gardens and banana plantations. We can drive within 30 mins in any direction and get fish from the trawlers, veges and eggs from the farm gate, there is a box and you leave your money in the box and if needed take your change. The same box principle applies at the banana plantation gates. For meat you ring the local grower and put your order in for a month and he slaughters it and brings it into town the next Thursday to the farmers market and you just collect it. There are of course the usual supermarkets, but they seem to be mostly used by the visitors and tourists. All in all a pretty good kind of life. I hope that it lasts.

Hi Jean. I'm sure I'd like it if I was born there, but all the anti US things I've read....I'd rather live, lol.
I just paid double for organic milk and then read some disturbing things about that too. It looks like I'm going to have to search realllly hard for healthy food.
It MUST exist here....somewhere?

I seem to be discussing cows lately and I was thinking about it Stawka. Maybe I'll try a cat first and see how that goes, lol.

Jimmy, there are always a handful of people who intensly dislike people from a different culture that they don't understand nor want to understand. Here in our area we welcome everyone. I guess that one of the advantages of being a relatively small community is that everyone knows where each others dirty linen is and doesn't care so a newcomer is a welcome diversion. We are a mixed community of Anglo, Indigenious, Indian and now we have a growing community of refugees from Somalia. I figure that we can certainly find room for someone from the US. I hope you find your healthy food.
It sounds inviting Jean! I have a place nearby that sells fresh healthy eggs and like you mentioned you leave the money in a box, although I prefer to go when someone is there. The search goes on!
