If I could pick one souvenir food wise it would be this garlic sauce from here in Malawi.
Will make a series of posts on this.

Theres a brewery in Astoria on the Columbia river (Oregon side), they’re called ‘Rogue’. They have made some of the most out there beers i’ve ever had. The Double Chocolate Stout actually tasted like chocolate; the maple-bacon…something… beer, was possibly the worst beer i’ve ever tried 😆. Great venue, so glad we could stop there for a couple beers on a trip a few years back.
The US do beers well, its a shame the major beer companies from there give it a poor reputation. But i suppose thats the same with anything, you gota look more closely to see the stuff of value. I’d not want Aus to be judged on Fosters for instance… 😂
Unfortunately, not any more: Rogue filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on November 25, 2025, and has choosen to close and sell off everything instead of trying to reorganize or recover.
Oh, thats a shame. Their beers were so great. I suppose all good things come to an end, thats especially true for a small operation like that.
Hate to break it to you, but in the US, Fosters is absolutely marketed as the Australian beer 😂. I think the Foster’s in our stores is brewed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin under license though.
I’ve never seen stuff like Toohey’s or VB here. Next time I go to Aus, maybe I’ll do a cheep beer swap and bring cans of Keystone Light, Natty Light, Miller High Life, some of our other “sex-in-a-canoe” beers, as in “fucking close to water”.
Hahaha! I wouldn’t be surprised if old mate Paul Hogan (croc dundee) is still in the ads! I can’t remember if theres a brewery still doing Fosters in Aus, I’m pretty sure the British just brew it somewhere on their patch as well.
Haven’t thought about Tooheys in years, seems to have gone out of fashion over in WA (Western Aus), the Queenslanders are probably still chuggin it though.
If you do a cheap beer swap VB is def one for the swap, other potential water substitutes might be XXXX, and Great Northern. Interesting thing about those beers is they’re way more popular in certain parts of the country and almost unknown in others.
