The produce and value-added food here in Tassie is marvellous. That hasn't changed since the eighties when I used to work here as a Scientific Sales Rep with Foss based out of Melbourne. I used to fly into Burnie, rent a car and then tootle around Tassie visiting labs, then end up in Hobart usually for a weekend before flying out back to Melbourne.
The food around Salamanca Place and Battery Point was amazing back then, and still today (with a much expanded range). Last night with Jackson, Emma and Nicola we drove to Battery Point and had a great meal at Monsoon Thai. Quirky, family-based, a little expensive for Thai, but wonderful flavours (enhanced by the great company and liberal helpings of Tiger Beer).
The night trips back to Allens Rivulet are punctuated by "Oooohs" and "Aaaahs" as we try to avoid running over various hopping things intent on self inflicted vehicular damage. Maybe they are a collection of protected species, but clearly they haven't read the memo and are seem intent on looking for the Nirvana associated with extinction. Crazy guys - and quite a treat for all those who are not white knuckled drivers!
