Shaun, we lived in Adelaide for a few years when I was a kid and my step-father is from Port Adelaide. Hence, Pie Floaters are a common "delicacy" in my mother's house. They are quite simply the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life, and it makes me gag just watching them eat them.
I cannot stomach peas in any way shape or form, long story as to why, but lets just say that watching someone eat them all soggy and mashed up on a meat pie is akin to the worst form of torture you could imagine for me! GROSS! Speaking of deep fried confectionary, I LOVE deep fried icecream Chinese style. yummmmmy!! tan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shaun Canning" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2004 9:28 AM Subject: RE: Disgusting things that Australians eat > You've never lived until you have tried a South Australian 'Pie > Floater'.
