Yeah, but as hot as they reportedly like their food… I’m sure TP isn’t really needed. More of a ‘drip-dry’ situation I’d imagine. :crazy_face: :wink: lol

No here they like sweet food, not like most asian countries, we eat fish, chicken, some pork and spagetti but i cant eat it because its just too sweet.
What i miss is dairy, cheese and milk and a good old Australian beef sausage.

Hrmmmm. My food shows are obviously starting to blur. My apologies for an inaccurate joke (no sarcasm; genuinely sad for my lack of accuracy, though I’m still going for ‘humor’) lol
I’ll flog myself with an appropriately sweet noodle in amends, and go re-watch some of the relevant foodie shows in an attempt to retain more accurate material. grins
(Besides which, it’s the only way to live vicariously, food-wise, around these parts.) :wink:

Runnings on the Bunnings

From tomorrow Bunnings will be putting a hold on its iconic sausage sizzles, with the retailer announcing panic sparked by the coronavirus has impacted the availability of supplies. …
… Meat has become the latest casualty of Australia’s panic buying, with chicken, lamb and beef becoming sought-after products much like toilet paper.

Those are the American ones.

Australia hasn’t franchised in the US. It would be interesting to see them franchise fast food places or restaurants in the US. I’ve been looking for a way to try a “Vegemite sandwich”. I don’t know how much their liked in Australia?

That might be a NY regional thing. I haven’t seen one in southern Virginia. If I find a place that makes gyro’s here though I’ll be in heaven!!! :laughing: :laughing:
OMG do I miss having those.

Vegemite sandwiches were a staple of our lunch box as kids.
Easy to make, don’t go “bad” if they get warm :laughing:

I prefer a little vegemite on toast with lashings of butter/marj and a cup of coffee.
If I do have a vegemite sandwich, I’ll also have an iced coffee.
Don’t know why but I like the combination :yum:

In South Australia gyro’s are called yiros.
They are delicious, I haven’t had one in years, I haven’t found a Yiros shop near me :disappointed:

(As you may well already know), that is how the Greeks pronounce the word themselves.

Vegemite (sort of “Beefy Butter” ?)

The taste may be described as salty, slightly bitter, and malty - somewhat similar to the taste of beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky, much like peanut butter.

It is not as intensely flavoured as British Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite.

No I didn’t know that :laughing: but I pronounced it like a Greek person would - totally :+1:

:+1: that’s pretty much it.
The look and texture is sometimes described as “axle grease” :laughing:

For that “full feeling” all day long ? Brewers Yeast is (in pure form) pretty intense, alright. Umami-like ?
