The reel meal deal: During the Melbourne Film Festival Gawen Rudder found himself in reel meal heaven. This month he explores the impact of food on film

摘要

Not too long ago one of the commercial channels offered a re-run of 'Four Weddings and a Funeral" as an alternative to the round ball game and it got me to thinking...food on film. Cast your mind back to Gareth of the Garish Waistcoat's funeral. Do you recall his partner's moving eulogy? Let me remind you: "You remember his fabulous hospitality, his strange experimental cooking -the recipe for Duck la Banana fortunately goes with him to his grave." Instead it's a wee waddle to Taxi at nearby Federation Square for their signature east-meets-west entree, house-smoked duck with teriyaki sauce.
