FOOD OTHER AT THE NEIGHBOUR'S ( AUSSIE GOODIES - GENERAL kangaroo & emu meat The Dutch have
two sorts of shops which sell meat: the slagerij which sells 'normal
meat, and the poelier, who sells poultry and usually game meat (wild)
as well.I've often seen kangaroo, emu,
and sometimes even more exotic stuff at the poelier, as well as at poelier
stalls at markets.Aldi had
frozen kangaroo meat for a while, too.
If you really want some and you can't find any, ask your local poelier
if he can get some for you. No Worries http://www.no-worries.nl/ shop in Hardewijk (Flv), run by a Dutch couple crazy about Opals http://www.dragons.nl/ I
know lots of shops sell them, but this lot are totally nutty about them, have
an enormous range, andtheir website has
heaps of information on the various sorts that I didn't know. Pumkin Seeds Some online seed merchants
with Queensland Blues, butternuts & spaghetti squashes (check for what each
has on offer) International Swap http://groups.yahoo.com/group/International_Swap/
Another possibility! 'A help for expats who wish to have a little something of
home. Food will be the main swap but for others, calendars, flags, souvenirs,
will also be swapped. Limits will be set on the monetary amount for swaps and
no extravagance accepted. It is the little things that count. If you miss
things from home or maybe you are just curious on trying things or collecting
items from foreign countries, then this is the place for you. You should be able to find a selection of
Aussie wines, from el cheapo to reasonable, in many supermarkets now - Albert

organic vegetable subscriptions: each week you receive a variety of fresh,
organically grown, seasonal vegies and fruit.
They are not delivered to your home; they are delivered to a designated
collection point (e.g. a supermarket) in your town or village.Together with the bag of produce you receive
info on the grower, recipes, and a newsletter from Odin.It's not only good for you - it also offers
organic growers a secure income, and thus encourages more to grow and buy these
products.It also stimulates interest in
the produce of the region, and variety in your diet!They offer 5 different deals, ranging from

(NL) passionfruit You can buy these at most greengrocers that have a big range - even
Albert Heijn supermarkets have them sometimes.
Queensland Blue pumpkins you can
sometimes buy these around October, when lots of Dutch buy pumpkins of all sorts
to place in front of or in their houses as part of an autumn decoration (or at
least they do in Zuid Holland).There is
a fanatical hobby pumpkin grower in Benthuizen, near where I live, and he grows
about 20 different sorts every year, including the Queensland Blue, the Jarrah,
butternuts, and even spaghetti squash.I
always buy the ones that are not so pretty and get a discount.As far as I know I'm the only one who comes
to buy them for eating!I've kept the
seeds and grown them myself the following years too, so they're fertile.If you have a local pumpkin grower, ask him
if can grow these for you (tell him they're huge, solid and look great) or if
you have a garden, get the seeds yourself and grow some.You can find my pumpkin bloke in Benthuizen
(near Zoetermeer) on Zegwaartseweg, close to the Kwik-Fit place there (he has big signs
out when it's pumpkin time, and humungus pumpkins on display).You
can also buy the seeds via this linkhttp://www.lemmerszaadhandel.nl/pompoen.htm Dutch cheese http://cheese.com/countrystep2.asp?Country=Holland/
