New Zealand is an agricultural country, so all of the food was wonderful. We were also delighted to find the Aussie food just as mouth watering. We began to wonder what caused this strange phenomenon of great food. It turned out all that our taste buds needed was a little rotation of the Earth. It is summer here, so everything is in season. The fruits are all juicy and ripe, and the veggies are always perfect (maybe not our favorite but still perfect). We went strawberry picking near Adelaide, and Audrey and I had a hard time not finishing the whole basket before we got to lunch. 
The other reason food here is so good is because they have one secret ingredient that we never get in the US: Passion fruit. It's actually a small, round, purple-y black fruit with yellow insides and black seeds; not what we were not expecting. As most people who have never seen passion fruit we were very surprised that they were not large fleshy pink fruits. Regardless, they are delicious and used on just about everything. It tastes like a sweet kiwi with mango and strawberry mixed in. It is absolutely spectacular, and once we get home we plan to become passion fruit importers.
This little taste of our daily lives will hopefully give you all a feel for the spectacular alternative organic culture we are enjoying here in Melbourne for the two weeks before school starts.
