Flying fish in family's food fight fury

Jars of jam, dead flounder, fish guts and canned soups have all been thrown at an Aberfoyle Park house in Australia during a spate of bizarre attacks by gourmet vandals.

Bob Baird, his wife Julie and children Chris and Kylie are searching for answers as to why the family home has been hit six times since February. ``The type of food is a bit unusual in itself ... Masterfood sauces, Beerenberg jams and canned soup,'' Mr Baird said.

In the latest attack, on May 20, vandals threw nine flounder at the house and spread fish guts over the front yard. ``It's not a particularly cheap fish. It's a real waste of food,'' he said.



In other attacks:

February: In the first attack, food is smeared on the shed and a jar of pickles thrown over the pergola. Two weeks later cheese sauce is smeared on the shed;

March: In early March, bean mix and sauce are dumped on the car. Two weeks later black bean sauce and canned soup is thrown at the shed and a bottle of relish thrown over the house into the pool, and;

April 29: Homemade food, Beerenberg jam and corn relish are spread over the car.

Mr Baird said while he remained ``absolutely baffled'' by the attacks, he feared his family might be the victim of mistaken identity.
