Report from Dunedin

Mar 9, 2007

So far so good down here in Dunedin. The speech went well, and I had a lovely lunch at Bacchus, sampling its Waitake River salmon (very fine, and probably the best I have tasted this side of the Equator). Today will be a busy day, interviewing three to four designers and registering the photographers.
First night’s dodgy MSG-laden food sucked though, and led to a night of insomnia (due to an allergy). Will just have to stay clear of Chinese food in this city as well.
Why can’t these Chinese restaurants realize that MSG has no place in real Chinese cuisine? Or, if they are going to stick it in, give us a warning. There are a lot of people out there with an allergy. One friend of mine even carries around an injection of adrenaline in her handbag in case some dodgy bastard doesn’t tell her that there’s MSG in the food.
