Most of the above

It's been well over a year, ,maybe even two, since I've had a meal at McDonalds, f'rinstance, and I don't have frozen pre-prepared meals. Except for those times where dinner == nothing but ice cream :-) I'm not one of these 'If it's not steak it's note food!' types, will happily have the occasional vegetarian day or two or three. I agree with Peter's importance placed on breakfast, but it's usually only Sunday morning's when I can be bothered cooking myself up some bacon and eggs and toast. My favourite Sunday brekky is pancakes but I can't be arsed cooking them for myself so it just doesn't happen. (Oh, and comments about Austrlalian wine are in the same boat as the comments on British cuisine :) ) John. Busy lad.

Well, I don't know what you guys put in the wine down under, but one brand at least, "Crocodile Rock", gave me one hell of a case of tintinitis (ringing in the ears). When the "white noise" is drowning out car noise and freeway traffic, you know it's bad. I went out and bought a bottle of ginkgo biloba pills and popped them for a couple weeks (ginko is approved for treatment of tintinitis in Germany). Further experiments confirmed it was the Crocodile Rock. Later, one morning, I woke up with tintinitis again and wondered, "why the hell is this back". Then I remembered I'd absent mindedly finished off a bottle I found in the fridge, and sure enough, it was Crocodile Rock. Eventually, I'll try more Australian wines, and if this problem doesn't reappear I'll exhonerate the country at large, but Crocodile Rock is off my approved substances list (incidentally, it did taste pretty good).

About on a Par with South African and Spanish wineries, and of course anything found in California. thanx, bill when I was young I envisioned myself as the embodiment of Trinity, Now I realize I have turned into the Bambino questions, help?

I trust my body to tell me when I'm getting low on any of the above (vitamins are a different matter). Therefore, I'm biased against most formulaic diets. However, breakfast will always have a warm place in my heart (and gut). Common breakfast for me: Cut a medium peeled potato into 1/2 inch cubes. Fry in a wok. Add some onion. Add 2-3 eggs (depending on size). Serve with ketchup and sausage. Mmm, good. But general rule is: anything they serve at IHOP is fine by me (but better at home). On the other hand, some of the worst meals of my life were breakfasts on the Shepperton lot--all the things Peter rattled off? I's agin' 'em.
