Comments on: Meet My Suburb Walking & Eating Tour: Surry Hills, Sydney http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/11/05/surry-hills-sydney/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I KNEW you'd be involved in the group of people we saw outside Bourke St Bakery on Sunday! Thanks to you singing the praises of their sausage rolls, we had our 2nd trip there last week, and wandered around the block several times waiting for the pork & fennel beauties to be ready. Worth the wait. And we're now addicted to the Mr Potato Head bread (hey, I'm Irish, potatoes are my thing!). You can actually see the back of my husband (in the checked shirt & cap) in your photo! Next time, I'll be braver and say hi! :-) Hahaha! I KNEW you’d be involved in the group of people we saw outside Bourke St Bakery on Sunday!

I've been to a couple of these places so I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who thinks Sparkle Cupcakes is dry and disappointing. I love how you always buy Mr NQN something...it's really sweet that you think of him even when you are not with him :) He's a lucky man! I’m so glad you ended up posting about Surry Hills tour!

Really enjoyed Terry's sausages (so generous!) and the dips I got from Erciyes were excellent as usual (particularly the parsley one). Nom nom nom! But yes, I won't be trying that pomegranate seed juice again. Blegh. Great account of the day Lorraine.
