If you’re anywhere near Joes Shoe Bar on High St Northcote, they do a good Hendricks and cuke. Not sure they use the word ‘cuke’ tho, may not have transitioned from Blitz to street level yet.
Talking about overrated stuff, I’d like to add something from Japan - mochi (a kind of glutinous rice cake). Japanese love the stuff, especially towards the end of the year, as it is a traditional NY food.
Don’t get me wrong, it tastes OK, but it isn’t that flash hot & certainly not worth choking on - which inevitably a dozen or so people (almost all of them elderly) sadly do every year. Choking to death on mochi isn’t part of my exit strategy from Japan. How about you, @mrjez?
