    I'm not a real seafood lover or bug eater! but here they are fairly common (although not quite as common as the meat pie!!) - they taste more like lobster.

    I wasn't worried about it... but I'd much rather ride a bike down the 110 (It's fun, especially the curvy parts) than eat bugs!

    Oh, and I wear a full helmet with a shield so I don't have to "eat bugs" while riding.

    So tell me more about the Australian meat pies? What kind of meat is in them? Should I try one when I visit Sydney?

    Yes Vicki do tell us, what's in Australian meat pie? Also, how do Australian meat pies differ from other continent's meat pies, or (and this thought just entered my head) are all meat pies really Australian meat pies?
    I'm leaving now, my head hurts.

    Interesting questions that I have never really thought too much about - I have some frozen "made in Australia" meat pies in my freezer and they are 25% meat - amazing they can actually call them "meat pies" (what meat it doesn't specify and I'm probably better off not knowing or it might be the end of my pie eating days)

    So Australian meat pies are 75% non-meat product, 25% unknown meat product and you can freeze it; I don't know Vicki, but that sounds a lot like.....SPAM!

    That doesn't sound very encouraging.

    If I see "meat pie" on a menu when I'm in Australia, I'll ask what exactly they mean by "meat" before ordering one.

    Looks like I should be able to die soon! Hopefully not before I get to try:

    32 Guinea pig - Have no idea where they are eaten.

    37 Reindeer - Have not yet visited Scandanavia.

    40 Aussie meat pie - Spent two weeks down under, but never ate a meat pie. Loved Moreton Bay bugs. Thought they were better than lobster

    48 Haggis - Have not been to Scotland, but the thought of Haggis has never been nice.

    50 Cornish pastry - Nor have I been to Cornwall, but will look for pastries when the Pound weakens against the Dollar!

    I guess the list is rather mundane, because the Brits have never been adventuresome when it comes to eating.
