Potato cake sandwiches.

Myrtle Park, Tasmania

On the way back to Launceston airport I stopped at Myrtle Park for lunch. When asked about vegetarian food options, the shopkeeper wasn't sure what to offer but, after some discussion, was happy to make two toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches for which he charged $5. As I paid, the shopkeeper remembered something. "My mates a vegetarian," he said. "He eats potato cake sandwiches." Next time I'll order one.
