One of the things I loved most about my week in Tasmania (and maybe it was just something unique to the people I was seeing, although it didn’t feel like it) was the amount of food that got to us in ways other than being bought in a shop.

There were two real stand-outs though: a home made apple cider that even I enjoyed immensely, and a big feed of fresh mussels and oysters collected minutes before they were eaten by yours truly and friends.
