Only 1 Ingredient Is Not Locally Produced Can You Find It?
Well it is Number One on my Food Goals list. Today I've managed to get very very close. In fact just One thing on this plate is not locally produced can you find which it is?
On this plate is the following : Rump Steak, onion, garlic, avocado, cos and curly lettuce, bock choy, shallots, celery, cucumber, cherry tomato, cheese, oregano, coriander, white and gold sweet potato, chilli, ginger and macadamia oil.
Rump Steak topped with Avocado, fresh Cos Salad and Spicy White and Gold Sweet Potato Chips
I am very happy with flavours and tenderness and it was so much better than my shoddy photographs depict.
I challenge you to try make a all local food meal even just once, it is both harder than it seems and fully worth the effort... Trust me, I'm an Aussie!
Each thing you eat has a story, do you know that story?
So did you guess the odd one out? I'd put it in the meal without even thinking about it until it was eaten and I was writing this very post!
It Was The Cheese!
Sadly there are no local cheese makers anywhere that I can find.

What are you waiting for?
Yes totally go for this. Eating local produce is all important.
Luckily I live in a cheese making area. There are half dozen great cheesemakers within 30 miles of where I live.
Today I'm eating a very tasty mature cheddar from just a spit over the valley.
Maybe one day I'll make my own - but then I'd need a cow... (not so keen on goats cheese 😜)
haha good for you! I don't mind a good goat feta with my salad or spinach. I've made some Camembert and cheddar in the past, the climate here is a challenge to storing and ageing cheeses without significant outlay. Enjoy your local cheese my friend :-)
I was going to say avocado... My goats spoil me with sweet, creamy milk , that tastes nothing like a goat, to make fresh cheese almost daily! Meat is hard for us to put on our plate from a local source as it is very expensive. Our roosters need to go, so soon...
Fresh chicken bits for you :-) we had an avocado tree here but the last cyclone knocked it flat...
What the distance for it to be counted as local? At the moment I've all on just trying to get SA produced.
I guess it's subjective given the vast distances between towns especially in rural areas. For me local produce is what's at the farmers market in my town, or food that still has its story, like Bob picked it on Thursday and Fred brought it up to sell at my town on Saturday. Certainly not any supermarket stuff anyway.

Oooohhh, what an exciting contest this could have been. In fact, I was almost treating it as such, trying to research your area (which I'm not even sure about... somewhere in Queensland, right?) and then comes the answer. Honestly, the cheese was the last thing I would have guessed. No cheese makers in your area? That is saaad. (Or is it a perfect niche for someone?)
