RP131: Tasting Tasmania
ReMARKable Palate #131: Tasting Tasmania
This week, I learn about the foods and culture of Tasmania, that lovely heart shaped island off the southern coast of Australia. I speak with Felicia Mariana, CEO of Tourism Tasmania, about the uniqueness of this southern island, and the plight of the beloved Tasmanian Devil. I also speak with Mark Alridch of Tasmanian Rain, touted to be the purest natural drinking water on earth. Finally, I chat with Ian Parmenter, well known in Oz as the host of the runaway hit Consuming Passions, who is quite outspoken about the native products, as well as Genetically modified products, and regulations around pasteurizing cheeses.
