LOL, apology accepted. I saw the subject line in my inbox and thought, here we go. But I was pleasantly surprised at the restraint shown in his piece in terms of Aussie cliches (flamin' galah notwithstanding). I didn't know that about the origins of the Australian ice cream chain (although am familiar with the brand, having seen it in Leuven too, I think?) but I suspect 'Walkabout', 'Outback Steakhouse' (big in Korea) et al are similarly Oztraylian in name only. I would say the most Aussie ice cream flavour would be macadamia/mango (do they have it?), but I am biased, and a long-term exile, therefore slightly homesick and probably incorrect.

I couldn't not nod to Home and Way somehow, just be grateful there were no knives or spoons involved ๐Ÿ˜‚
