447044	2006-04-19 02:09:00	Haha, I hate fish. I wish I could hate fish too, given the outrageous prices we're ripped off to buy it. Considering it's a free resource from the sea New Zealanders are completely stuffed by Them-Who-Control. :mad:	Greg (193)

For some reason the young people have developed a culture of drinking and driving which has persisted for decades. Gore people for some odd reason look enviously at Otago, specifically Dunedin and go there instead of Invercargill for shopping, business etc. It's almost as though they don't want to acknowledge they are in Southland. Having said that, Gore has an astonishing art gallery and actively embraces local history. A pleasant town with better weather than Invercargill and well worth visiting.	Winston001 (3612)

447047	2006-04-19 03:54:00	But at the end of the day, there are only so many ways to cook and serve the traditional Southland swede, or have more adventurous foods been introduced since Christmas?	godfather (25)

You may like to take a look at a small place called "Le Potagers" Its on the road out towards Redan I think , around 10 to 12 Ks. In the phone book anyway. Its as the name suggests, a small cottage, unseen from the road, serving the most delightful menu with most of the green veg etc coming from their own garden. I was part of a group of 16 that had a Sunday lunch back in Feb or so, and we were one of about 4 groups of a similar size, the service could not be faulted, all done by only two people. Choice of inside or outside dining depending on weather which as you realise at the present time must be among the best in the country. Bookings are essential. rny.	rny (6943)

Quite a few young people have this thing about drinking and fast cars - regardless of location. Actually the not so young ones too, often. Clinton, huh. We passed a dead hawk on the way back from town today. Just the thing for taxidermy. Swedes are YUMMY. I could live on the things. Roasted, mashed, boiled, fried, yum yum. I love swedes. Really. I know most people hate them. Le Potagers is not far from us, we've been past it. She closes completely over winter and the rest of the time she is open for lunch and afternoon teas on Saturdays and Sundays only. She also has another house here in Wyndham. So while we will go at some stage, not this time. we want a fancy dinner......its for a couple of birthdays....	pctek (84)
