[Mishmash] Ginger Beer and Arnott's Cookies

[Fred Atkinson]

Hi, David, 

    Well actually, these are not appearing on just *any* shelves.  They are on the shelves of an Australian place (the Australian Bakery Cafe) here in Marietta.  They have all sorts of Australian foods and groceries.  I can even buy Vegemite there (which is where I got Bill his supply).  

    I tried a food bar called an Odwalla Bar today.  It was really great.  And I'm going to try some more things.  

    Regards, 



                                                                    Fred

  Hi Fred

   

  I think ginger beer is actually a Pommy thing that we adopted.  Real ginger beer is good stuff.

   

  Ginger nut biscuits are hard with a strong ginger taste.  They are great dunked in a cup of tea.  

   

  Arnott's was a famous Australian brand.  It had an Eastern Rosella as its logo.  A very pretty parrot.  It was taken over by an American company some years back which I guess is why their products are appearing on your shelves.  Look out for iced vovos.  These are little biscuits with a stripe of raspberry jam and two stripes of strawberry icing, all sprinkled with coconut.  My favourites.

   

  Cheers

   

  David

  Folks, 

   

      I had my first taste of Australian Ginger Beer at our Australian Bakery Cafe here in Marietta, Georgia.  It is the Australian alternative to our ginger ale.  And I must say that I like their ginger beer better than ginger ale.  

   

      I also got some cookies made by Arnott's called Ginger Nut.  I love the taste of them but they are a bit hard to bite into.  Perhaps Leanne, Robyn, or David could tell me if this is normal for those cookies or not.  

   

      They have a bunch of Arnott's products on their shelves.  

   

      Regards,
