Rate Your Plate
Curious about what we'll be eating on the trip? So are we! We decided to start up "Rate Your Plate."
You'll find our plate raitings of various meals during the trip. We will be rating the following (or anything else that we feel like rating!):
Pies: Value for money, taste, amount of "meat," serving tempurature etc
Lamb cuttlets: Finding lamb cuttlets these days is hard enough!
T-bone: How it's cooked, sides included, size etc
Bacon and eggs: Amount of bacon, ability to actually cook eggs, sides included (without specifically ordering them)
Camp meal: We are predicting some ordinary camp meals, but rest assured they will be rated!
