Dear Ian. Andrej here. I´m so happy that you and your family enjoyed my selection. I tried a bit of everything. The italian pistachio truffles are truly great and I hope you will try the oil and the vinegar. Plus, now you can think of Austria for your European trip. It´s funny to have Austria and Australia in the same setting. All of the australian parcels were great. :)

@@IWrocker It´s nice to hear that. And if you ever need some tips just let me know. I like that you put an extra value to natural products from farmers. Unfortunately, certain things that contain alcohol or are processed in a certain way are not allowed to be shiped to the US by regular persons. Otherwise I would have sent you a bottle of wine (Slovenia has some of the best terroir for white wine in the world) or some bilberry liquer made from wild forest bilberries. 😀 Keep up the good work. You are a very positive person and I enjoy your enthusiasm about cars and engines.

I googled the name ... and found out that the "Kurbiskernol" is a Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil… Speaking in terms of Styrian culinary specialties, pumpkin seed oil belongs at the top of Austrian regional specialties list. It has been produced and used in southern Styria at least since the 18th century. Pressed from roasted, hulled seeds of the local variety of oil pumpkin, Kürbiskernöl oil is quite viscous and has a rich aroma reminiscent of roasted nuts. Due to high carotene levels, when poured in thick layers, pumpkin seed oil appears to be deep dark red in colour, but it actually has a rich green colour. In Austrian cuisine it is used mainly for salads dressings and drizzling over cold dishes.

@andrejluneznik9254

Exatctly. Thanks for the extra info. I didn´t want to write an essay in my note to Ian. The pumpkin seed oil has the EU protected geographic origin seal both in southern Austria and northern Slovenia. So you can only make it in those two regions using traditional techniques and the local variety of pumpkin which has been bred for centuries to this specific purpose. The austrians roast the seeds at 150°C (300°F), while the slovenians do it at 90°-110°C (200-230°F). This makes both protected origin oils unique and they are often served in leading Michelin star restaurants all around the world. The one I sent to Ian is from a small oil mill close to Graz. I also bought the apple vinegar and pistachios there. They sell some great farmers products from Austria and also Italy and Spain.

As a Aussie who has only watched a handful of iwrocker video's I just want to say thanks for sending this stuff to Ian and his family. I actually started watching this channel because of all the car racing videos Ian does. Then seen a mail unboxing video and realised Ian's love for all things Australia, and I was hooked. Was so cool that you give the kids a treat to eat, and toothpaste and toothbrush. I'm the kind of guy who goes shopping to complete it in the minimum amount of time, so there's no way I could put together a mail box as good as your wife.

I grew up with The Angels too. Seeing them in Feb 24.

Best regards from Styria in Austria 😊 A life without pumpkin seed oil (Kürbiskernöl) is unimaginable for a real Styrian. 😂 The panther is the symbol for Styria (Steiermark).

Ian, your father-in-law is so dapper.

The ANGELS cd you received - one of the most famous Aussie rock bands that formed in the 70s and DRAGON is a cool New Zealand band that formed in the 70s. Both still popular in Australia.

Whoever mortgaged their house in Australia to afford to send that box to the US deserves a medal. Costs close to 30 bucks to send a CD now as no tracking may as well throw it in the bin as it wont get there.

Wow what a video. To the guys who sent all the care packages - YOU are awesome. Life has been tough for me over the last few months and this type of genuine generosity helps me to restore my faith in todays society. Ian and fam thankyou for uploading this. You guys are awesome. And a speical shoutout to Grandpa. Mannnn i love this dude....he is just the best.

The vegemite monopoly, instead of paying rent, you have to eat a whole jar.

Pedro, love the hat. I thought that last box was going to be bottomless. Looks like there should be enough to keep the kids happy for hours. Sydney is growing in leaps and bounds and looks like an angel.

Aaaawww Sydney is so adorable 😂, my kids are older now, but i miss those early days with them being really young like that, they grow up sooooo fast😂

Ian & Dani your kids are growing up right before our very eyes. Emma is a little lady now and Andrew is the sweetest boy. Sydney in her Aussie onesie is just adorable 👍❤️🇦🇺

The Aussies just love your Family ❤

Pedro's moustache is rival to the wonderful Sam Elliot and Tom Selleck. Gorgeous growing kidlets ❤😊, and a great treats box from both countries 👌 🇦🇺

Emma says the cutest "thank you".

I noticed the picture in the background of the Centura, I worked on these as an apprentice auto electrician. They originally were designed and produced in Europe with a for cylinder engine . But true to form here in OZ we stuck a six cylinder inline six in the engine bay a 245 cui or a 265 cui hemi just to show how a car should go. They were great in a straight line but forget about going around corners.

Those Darrell Lea chocolate eggs are delicious. I remember eating the Darrell Lea nougat eggs as a kid

One of the best mailtimes ever! Love that you got some cool stuff from Austria. You might get as many European fans as Aussie ones.

Hope you make your way to Australia soon, I'm sure there are plenty of people here who would like to meet you and even help you when you come over for a holiday
