Just a bit of Trivia regarding Launceston, Tasmania, Australia where I live.
These two 'things' I found on the internet: The sunniest town in Tasmania is Launceston, it's sunnier than Melbourne, Victoria which is a State of Australia north of the State Tasmania. Launceston has 2,500 hours of annual sunshine, whereas Melbourne receives 2,300 hours of annual Sunshine.
The 2nd 'thing' is what is the foodie town of Tasmania? Launceston. The internet says it's a foodie paradise and gastronomic hub officially recognized as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy in 2021. A meeting place of food, culture, tradition and innovation that connects people with the land in a way that's deliciously down to earth.
Rather interesting I thought.
Some meals we had recently for dinner (evening meal).
The above three meat things are Rissoles with gravy and 6 vegetables. I/we love potatoes, fortunately we can eat anything at aged 80.
I have a glass of wine most evenings with my dinner, this wine is the only one I drink and it's Brown Brothers Crouchen Riesling which is an Australia sweet wine. The wine features sweet fruit flavours with a soft finish and aromas of tropical fruits and melons.
Chicken Stirfry and Rice
Baked dinner, baked pork and gravy with 4 vegetables potatoes baked.
Below is Spaghetti Bolognaise.

The food looks really good. I would love to be served that food every day. The food in the first picture looks like Norwegian food too. It's one of my favorite dishes.
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteThat all looks very delicious. Good to see you will enjoy life and make and eat lovely food with a good glass of wine.
That's a party to eat. You make me hungry, but can I pull up my plate...?? Hihihi...!!
Many greetings,
Marco
Margaret, I remember that back in the 1960s and 70s, Australia received many immigrants, and that gave rise to a diverse contemporary cuisine with chefs who blend local ingredients with international techniques.
ReplyDeleteConsequently, the food there is varied and tasty.
Keep enjoying!
Your meals look scrumptious, 😋 Margaret.
ReplyDeleteHi Margaret,

I wish you a wonderful new week.

Glad to hear that Australian people like spaghetti Bolognaise, which is a typical Italian dish 😀

Great post: information I didn't know about Launceston's gastronomic hub, which was recognized by UNESCO in 2021.
I wouldn' mind a glass of that Australian white wine 😀🥂🍸
That looks like a really tasty and comforting meal!
ReplyDeleteLaunceston is a wonderful place to call home
ReplyDeleteBeing the UNESCO City of Gastronomy is very impressive. Very!
ReplyDeleteThe food looks really good.
ReplyDeleteTwo hundred more hours of sunshine a year over Melbourne is significant.
ReplyDeleteI can't go past a good roast, or rissoles even.
Very impressive - the "sweet wine" - that would be a definite miss
ReplyDeletefor me.
Ha ha - beat Melbourne eh??? Watch out they are the protest capital of the world and they will come after you.
Lovely sunny day here and for reasons unknown. the beach is still full of your ones - aged from about 10 to 14 years with teachers SWIMMING, BOARD RIDING. etc.
School lessons sure have changed?????????
Cheers
Colin
PS: Does the restaurant set the meals up for you to photograph???
You should be paid a commission.
