From what I gather since Australia is a cattle raising country we get beef cheaper than elsewhere. On side note my sisters father in law was here last week and he bought oysters for much cheaper than on the mainland as one of Tasmanias specialties is oysters. Same thing I guess, like going to France through the Chunnel to buy wine.
I sort of prefer Chicken myself. Can't stand beef that is overcooked, and incidentally I like meat blue so anything beyond killing off the germs is overcooked to me.
Meat is such a part of Australian life it is not rare (haha rare
) to see ads on tv espousing the merits of meat eating. Anyone know Sam Neill, the actor in Jurassic park, Red October, Piano etc. He has an ad where he shows how we came down from the trees and our brains grew because of the nutrients we get from Meat. Basically you need meat if you expect to have any intelligence.
