Analyze Australia...What have I been doing?!

Well, guess its time to analyze this trip to Australia. I thought that is what I had been doing throughout the blogs, but I guess it is time for a more detailed version. :) The topic that I choose to analyze that was SOOOO different from America is the food!

Now, lets get to analyzing! It all started with a little dish called chicken schnitzel! Australian's LOVE this dish apparently because it is on every single menu that we ordered off of. I still to this day do not know exactly what chicken schnitzel is. At one point I heard it was fried veil, then I heard it was actual chicken. I never tasted it personally. Every time I looked at it I more felt that gagging feeling than a lets bite into it and see how it taste feeling! The beginning of the trip was a set menu. We had 3 choices. Chicken schnitzel, fish, or veil (all served with chips). I know what your thinking...potato chips, right? NO! They were french fries! I can't tell you how often Kandi Schaake and I lived off of french fries. It was nearly every meal at the beginning. I thought oh things will get better! Nope! We had a couple of meals the whole time that I ate more than french fries. I ate the steak meals. Every single steak meal! Even though it was not the same grain fed beef, it was still a steak! We had a grass fed steak at the emu farm, so that was a different experience. The best steak that we had was at the Spry Shorthorn ranch because it was grain fed beef. :) I will never forget the meal where we went out for seafood. I don't like seafood from the beginning, so I tried the fried shrimp thinking it would be the safe bet (along with many others). We soon found out that nothing was a safe bet if you weren't a seafood fan at this restaurant! My shrimp had eyes and tasted quite fishy! 

My supper attacked me! AHHHH

See told you it had EYES!

My "shrimp" feast!

I still don't know what Hailey was eating...

This was "cooked" salmon...WRONG!

Kyla made her food into art! :)

Biggest grape EVER! And I ate it....

Some sort of dessert?!

Steak time! 

This was by far the biggest thing that affected me on the trip to Australia. Even though I didn't eat much on the trip, I still found myself having the time of my life. The trip wouldn't have been the same without blogger being late to the bus most of the trip because he was eating up those last few seconds of uploading pictures and doing his blog! It wouldn't have been the same without Grant Gardiner saying "Proud of you" and "Karaaaa" at the perfect moments. It wouldn't have been the same without Michael Wimer's impression of Earl Dibbels Jr every single day on the bus. NOTHING would have been the same without every single person that attended this trip including the best sponsors in the world. Thank you to all the people who organized this trip (Mishelle Hay) and all who helped this be financially feasible for me. Until our next trip to Australia guys....Good day mates! :)

Loved this Group!
