Today Sonja and I went to the farmer's market that are held every Wednesday on Queen St. and it was SO much fun. We went from shop to shop tasting everything that was offered to us including kangaroo jerky which Sonja actually bought (at a bargain price, of course!).
For an appetizer, we had a skewer of deep-fried cheese stuffed olives. The shopkeeper informed us that the olives could last up to three days - Sonja and I just burst out laughing and responded "um, no actually they can't!"
Next, it was time for our main course. We saw this man making this bread roll thingy that intrigued us. I believe it is called "Kürtos Kalács" or a "chimney cake" which is a Hungarian pastry that can be either sweet or savory - we went with savory and had the cheese and olive variety. Delicious!
Finally, it was time for dessert. We have been wanting to try a "lamington" ever since we got to Australia because we have been told that it is somewhat of a traditional Aussie dessert. It is a sponge cake that is coated in chocolate and coconut - dece.
All in all, it was a great morning - we left feeling happy and full and wondering if you can ship kangaroo jerky back to Canada?
