I find the term "gastropub" amusing. In my experience it's not used much (if at all) here in Australia, where "gastro" is most frequently used as an abbreviation for "gastroenteritis". It does not seem to me to be the wisest of neologisms.
- JacobAldridge 12y agoI (fellow Aussie) picked it up when living in London a few years back. We'd kind of been inculcated into the whole "the UK does Gastronomy" thing so it didn't seem weird, but it would take more Heston and less Buscopan in Australia before it would take off here. Interestingly, the first Gastropub I ate at was owned by Guy Ritchie. I figured it had to be good, since he named a film after my favourite food...
