A slice of home....

There’s little doubt about it – the Persian Gulf, 12 nautical miles off the coast of Iran is a long way from Bega. For those of you who don’t know, Bega is a small town on the south coast of Australia, not far from Canberra, most famous for it’s cheese factory and environmental activists being arrested in forest protests. So imagine my surprise when the cook brings out a tin of Bega cheese. As you can see from this photo, it's clearly made for export, with English on one side and Arabic on the other and bought in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. And for tinned, processed cheese, it didn't taste that bad either!
