The Economist View Of Canberra

Note the pic of some caf called ‘Anise’ seems to have been taken by a seriously pissed patron.

ahh yes!
My mistake
and the restaurant that makes me go *yuk* is Courgette, it’s on Marcus Clarke st, I think…though eggplants aren’t very bloody nice either

Thumper, there’s no Aardvarks in the entire document.

Aubergines are eggplants, not zucchini.

The “snooty” (ie. French) word for zucchini is courgette.

I note that Mooseheads and South Pac didn’t get a mention of things to go see and do either…

Better ‘Aubergine’ than ‘cucumber’, don’t you think ? And -pedantic me- ‘aubergine’ is French, ‘zucchini’ Italian, but yes, they mean the same thing.

“Canberra has a conspicuous lack of street life”

Does that mean we have few homeless people and beggars on our streets? Or that everyone’s stuck in their offices (after all, this is a public service town…)?

Quite snooty!
I still can’t get passed the fact that there’s a resturant named ‘Auburgine’ – the snootier name for Zucchini….
I see ‘Auburgine’ and think *yuk*
