Twice now I've had fish & chips in Sydney from what I'd regard as traditional fish & chip shops (not restaurants selling takeaways as well) and they've been served in a ridiculous box with more cardboard than food. Aside from the extra cost this must bring, its environmentally insane and to top it off the fish & chips go cold before you get out the shop door.
I asked the guy in the shop I went to most recently what the story is, he told me they would prefer to use good old fashioned paper but health and safety don't allow it - WTF is going on here! He also mentioned it costs them (and therefore us) a lot more to package in boxes, will someone give me a good reason why paper is less hygienic than cardboard, unlikely because THERE ISN'T ONE!!
I don't want to blame individual shops as it seems they may not have a choice but, I'd like to list my experiences of cardboard craziness here and have others add theirs as well, please help me stop this charade and use this blog post to start a petition to "Bring back traditional paper wrapped fish & chips".
My two offenders so far are:
Dockside Seafood - 4/314-322 Darling St, Balmain, NSW, 2041
Bay Seafood - 485a Darling St, Balmain, NSW, 2041
Add a comment with your experience and where it occurred.
Cheers

Jägermeister & the Jägerbomb
How can a drink so nasty taste so good!
Take a shot of whisky or tequila - you practically have to close your eyes and groan just to remotely enjoy the event. Now take a Jägermeister, it's a completely different story for me. This is the first shot since the ole days of that very drinkable peppermint liqueur called Clarise or something (I can't remember how to spell it properly but it was good) or the more recently popular Goldschlager that I've come across something so smooth. It doesn't seem to hurt a bit!
I had the pleasure of enjoying a couple of Jägermeister (one of which turned into a Jägerbomb after some arm-twisting) at a work colleague Krysten's (aka America) 25th birthday party up at the Glenmore pub in The Rocks Sydney. They certainly set us up for a fun night of good old fashion 'talking crap', priceless!
The worrying thing for me is, the past few times I've had Jägermeister I've absolutely looooved it. The longer I can keep a bottle of that stuff out of the house the better I think - anyone going through duty free Sydney soon?!
Salud!
