Yeah, I lived in Melbourne when I was a kid, so I’ve had plenty of fish and chips. It was years ago, back when they wrapped them in soon-to-be-soggy newspaper. It was OK, but back then I didn’t like the vinegar. I was used to eating fried fish (usually fried shrimp) with tartar sauce.
When I used to get a hamburger down there, it always came with a fried egg on it for some stupid reason. I was used to eating McDonald’s and Burger King in the US, there was nothing like that down there when I lived there in the late 1960s.
I don’t remember hardly any good food down there from my youth. Too much mutton. I did like the meat pies that we got for lunch at school. It was the only choice for lunch, which was pretty odd, but I did like those. I was used to something different for lunch every day in the US, in Australia it was the same meat pie every day. I had to pay for it every day too, unlike in the US which gave you your school lunch for free. The entire ritual surrounding school lunches was bizarre.
