I LOVE choc ripple cake! we used to have that on hiking camps!
Though I think honey joys dominate chocolate crackles any day
I agree! Honey Joys all the way!
Whats with us Aussies covering cereal with sugar and/or chocolate and calling it a snack? haha
Chocolate Crackles are so yummy, they're Rice Bubbles covered in Chocolate....
Yeah I'll take all the suggestions I can get. I really want to try everything, at least once to see if I like it.
Well, I've learned you all eat a LOT of lamb compared to the US. I've found I love it so I have no problems with it! I promised my friends I'm going to cook a real all-american thanksgiving dinner in November...but I'm worried at the lack of TURKEYS! Hopefully I'll fine one. Then I get to try hunting down ingredients for stuffing, the cranberry sauce, ingredients for the pumpkin pie (thank might not be easy...) and so on.
I've tried vegemite (both old and new) and I just absolutely LOVE it. Tried double coated TimTams as well...and OMG - I'm shipping some home! I tried a cookie that I cannot remember the name of now...but the soldiers used to eat them? They reminded me of oatmeal cookies but a little sweeter.
Had Cherry Ripes... those are really good.
I noticed you all can make a sandwhich out of ANYTHING...and you hold your utensils differently than we do in the US.
My friends drink more tea.... oh and the coffee here is all instant (like just add water instant). So it took me a while but I found a real drip coffee pot, then had my folks mail me some Folgers drip coffee so they could try it here
And I noticed you all don't tip when you eat out? Is that the norm here? And at fast food type places you don't throw the stuff away, you leave it on the table? We clean it up and put it in the bin in the US. First time we ate at a fish & chips shop my friends were like...what are you busting tables now? haha
You should be able to find turkey in November. Turkey here is a Christmas thing cos we don't do Thanksgiving and by November, frozen ones are available.
I love the taste of Lamb but I don't like to eat it cos I picture the lamb! It's a big meat here. They have ads on for Australia Day in Jan telling people to eat lamb! lol
The Cookie you refer to would be an ANZAC buiscut. I love them!!
Cherry Ripes rock!! unk:
Really, you are finding all the coffee is instant? We have a coffee machine here at work which makes the proper barista coffees. I also have one at home. And there is no shortage of coffee shops either I find. Gloria Jeans, Starbucks, McCafe (first one was in Melbourne BTW!!).
Nope we don't tip here. Some cafes etc will still accept tips and have a tip jar, but it's never expected.
Re take away, I always clear my stuff from the table cos I was raised that way, but I do know a lot of people just leave it and walk away! Pigs! lol I think some people do some don't clear the table.
haha! I just finished reading this whole thread and I love it
It's funny how you guys went from the weather to cereal lol
Yeah we sort of go all over in this thread I keep coming up with random questions during my time here. I can't help it lol.
Like.... why do they call shrimp prawns here.... I find many things have different names or are prounounced different. It's the favorite teasings between me and my friends lol. I say tomato a certain way or oregano a certain way and I hear giggles lol. But then my friend will say... i feel like putting on my thongs.. and I start giggling (because thongs are g-strings in America not sandals...) :cheeky: It's all very amusing.
