My parents use to have fondue parties. Booze and melted cheese and partner swaps??

i'm thinking more along the lines of chocolate fondue.

pass on the partner swap if it was with any of my mates.

i was wondering the same! i'll bet it was the fondue.

steve that sounds almost as rank as my ex's 'carbonara' which was:
pasta - 1 packet of
kraft cheese spread - one jar of
those 'bacon' bits from the supermarket - couple of handfuls of
combine
eat
stack on 5kgs after consumption

i'm so glad we broke up :fat:

That would be White Village. Some of the best Greek food in Melbs.

We want to find somewhere good northside too though, now we're moved... Anyone have any other suggestions? I haven't been to Jim's but Joe has and didn't think it was that great, and I've had mixed reports from others too.

lol and packet macaroni cheese quick. It's so easy to make a proper one! Why would you make packet mix....

good food and wine show = fail with a capital F

WHERE WAS THE CHEESE!!!!?!?!?!?

I've seen enough "dukkah" to last the rest of my life, that shit is GROSS after 100 randoms have dipped there oily bread pieces in it.... ew.

fail

And creepy chinese masseurs who try and accost you....

fail

and what was with the normal supermarket brand stalls?... I mean, do we really need the kikoman soy sauce stand and the Lee Kum Kee soy sauce stand? and the nescafe stand? and the nandos stand?

fail

There was a total of 1 cheese stand and they didn't even have any crackers for the cheese they just kind of dumped some grotty looking cheese pieces in your hand.

fail

At the avocado stand they were making this pasta and avocado salad, we got two samples when they were done and pasta wasn't cooked and was all stuck together and there wasn't even any avocado in the samples

fail

yeah shithouse. even if you cant get $$ back its probably worth complaining. that kind of shit is bad for thier future reputation and being a loud winger might work to your advantage too.

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 1:12 am

there was lots and lots of alcohol... but tbh we were not there to drink

the cocktail show was pretty cool though.

gnat · Post by **gnat** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 10:41 am

we had a great time friday night

sampled many many wines and beers

and cheese on crackers at 2 or 3 different stalls, had delish mushroom and celery soup in a cup, bombay potatoes with lentils, malay satay noodle soup, marinated olives and even mini honey and walnut icecream cone

where we at the same thing dan?

deviant · Post by **deviant** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 10:52 am

2 or 3 out of hundreds is still pretty poor.... but we seriously looked high and low and only found one.

blackberry beer was pretty nice

and a I made a mad dinner when I got home with the olives and pasta sauce I bought.

I dunno, just wasn't what I was expecting, and there were waaay too many rude pricks not watching where they were walking. Wanted to start just pushing people over, 'specially when they just bump into you and then keep going

gnat · Post by **gnat** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 12:22 pm

yah ok, in the words of peter russell clarke 'where's the farken cheese?'.

i was more focused on smashing mad reds and winding up the vineyard boys

anyone have any recs for restaurants overlooking the water at southbank or other side?

not rockpool and not drug money, cool melbourne vibe, somewhere to take me mama bear

Blaxter · Post by **Blaxter** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 3:32 pm

Southwank suxors. The rent is too expensive so they pass on that overhead to you if you dine there.

FoundationStepper · Post by **FoundationStepper** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 3:35 pm

agree... work around here and there is nothing id be inclined to go out to for dinner. rather just find good food for good foods sake

gnat · Post by **gnat** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 3:54 pm

that's how i've always thought but we walked past last friday and it was so pretty along there!

thought it might be nice to take my mum

you guys are harsh

FoundationStepper · Post by **FoundationStepper** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 3:57 pm

yeah im a total snob. i have casually looked at a bunch of those places but they havent rung true for me. aside from looking like overinflated prices, not my sort of vibe i guess. not sure what benefits the water view would have for the tastebuds either.
