There is a fair-sized community of expatriate Australians here in Edmonton. We Aussies seem to find our way to every corner of the world, no matter how cold and forbidding the place can be.
We met Shaun through the local Down Under Club and quickly became good mates. He’s a South Australian and we’re Queenslanders, so it’s been interesting to spend time together, picking up on the little differences in language and culture. Things you probably wouldn’t notice if you’d met back in Australia.
When our other SA mates Adam and Katrina get talking with Shaun, I sometimes get lost trying to follow the conversation. No problems for them following me and my slow Sunshine State drawl.
Anyway: Shaun’s on his way to Korea soon to catch up with his lady, who departed Edmonton ahead of him a while back. We had Shaun round for dinner soon after we met and he’d been promising to return the favour before leaving by making us a Thai green chicken curry. And he insisted that we bring the video camera.
So let’s call this the second in our Crash Test Kitchen “Expedition Series” (souffle parts one and two comprising the first of our outings to other people’s kitchens).
To explain the title of this post: “crow-eater” is Aussie slang for “South Australian”. I have no idea why. To “give someone curry” is to give them a hard time. Here’s some more Aussie slang for your edjamication.
– Waz.
