I've had the odd bit of salmon from Tasmania & steak from the Bass Straight islands, 'kobe beef' from somewhere in the Murray River district.
Yet the one thing I can't find anywhere other than my local cake shop, is a decent Apple Cake. All it is a scoop of diced apple sandwiched between two bits of biscuit pastry (probably from the shortbread family) baked for a bit, cooled and then drizzled with a vanilla-lemon icing. Any other ones I've tried are just blaugh in comparison, with sultanas mixed in to the apple, strange pastry.
I dread the day when that shop shuts for good.
Then there's the biscuits that the Learmonth Bakery when it was still open made, never found any since that's come even close to 'em. Supposedly the baker moved to new digs in Ballarat which we've been yet to locate, nor trace of any apprentices of said baker.
