ALCOFROLIC & MISTELLA
Greetings from Adelaide. I returned from wine tasting. Someone on the
tour referred to it as an "alcofrolic." I saw a few hits on Google, but I
don't think the RHHDAS has it.
Mistella is White Port (as I said in Portugal, only they can use the Port
name). I was told that Mistella has been around for several years, but it's
not in the online OED, which is revising "M."

MISC.
OP SHOP--I saw "Op Shop for Charity. Opportunity shop supporting local
health and welfare services."
WHISPERING WALL--there's one at the Barossa Reservoir. Next year, I'll see
the one in Beijing at the Temple of Heaven. Is this in OED? If you don't
know, the reservoir is a curved wall, and people at one end can hear a
whisper of someone at the other end. However, the Chinese one is jammed with
people.
WHITING BURGER; PORK RIBLET BURGER--more burger spottings.
AUSTRALIAN PIZZA--two pizza places have this as pizza with ham.
EUROPA DOG--bacon, cheese, onion, sauce and mustard hot dog.
SKIMMERCHINO--another version of cappuccino with skim milk.
MERRY WIDOW COFFEE--coffee with Merry Widow liqueur (one of the things I
tasted).
