and how accents change over time, I watch some old broadcasts from the 50's and the oz accent is very nasaly, no one speaks like crocodile dundee except idiot tourists trying to impress, usually very badly.
I had to stop watching that old daisy before I lost my appetite.
Interesting,I never get to the supermarket before butchers leave for the day but I'm going early soon and talk to them about this. Full cut rounds have also disappeared. Speaking of round steak,set your GPS to 32°33′2″N 98°29′53″W / 32.55056°N 98.49806°W / 32.55056; -98.49806 (32.550502, -98.498122). That will take you to Mary's Café in Strawn Tx where the best chicken fried steak I've ate is served. Traveling Westbound on IH-20 from Ft Worth,take exit 361 to Farm Road 16 North.Tri-tip is a fairly new cut in this part of the country, but our local "Crest" store carries it, along with cuts of Sirloin steak. I think they also cut it up into chunks for stew and other similar dishes.
Nice. Any pictures?
I have to admit, accents and local variants make the Aussie language difficult for me...being an Okie. Although George Bernard Shaw was speaking of the U.S. and Great Britain, his comment is applicable.
"The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language."
