Aussie Food

I have my cousins and niece over from Australia for a month, they bought some indiginous food with them, like Vegemite and Tim Tams.
Havn't tried the Vegemite, but the Tim Tam's ROCK! It's two chocolate buscuits covered in milk chocolate... fucking delicious! any aussies agree? and hows vegemite? i'm scared to try it...

Tim Tams are the best chocolate biscuits available.

Vegemite is great, but use it SPARINGLY. Do NOT slather it on, just use a small amount with generous amount of butter on hot toast. :)

Look up a thread by Jinushaun on Vegemite if you want a laugh.

Veggy Might is very nice...................

tim tams are ok.

never tried the thing with them and tea though.

i thought kangaroo was pretty tasty.

well the thing is apparently loaded with vitamin B, so atleast its really healthy. Reading Jinushuan's thread, i'm even more afraid to try it now, but even more curious... i'll have a go before classes tomorrow.

so i tried some vegemite today on buttered white toast with some tea...

not bad... but not really that good either. i'm indifferent on it, but like Jinushaun, I've got an entire fucking jar of this stuff, and spreading it "sparingly" on toast will last me more than a year or so, if i eat it everyday. Also, the stuff smells like day-old skunked malt liquor...reminds me of freshman year in college.

tim tams are a poor imitation of the penguin with wimpier biscuits.

penguins are awesome. damn i need to get some tomorrow.

McVities milk chocolate digestives are the best, bar none.

apart from the ones that also have a layer of caramel in them.
if you like caramel that is.

i'll stick to the regular milk chocolate ones.

they're addictive, i swear they use witchcraft to make me keep eating them..

Vegemite is gross. I hate it almost as much as I hate mayo. Bleh.

Blasphemy!

Hush. Before I make all of your sandwiches with Miracle Whip.

never! i'll make my own...

That was the plan...

Post a pic of your vegemite on toast and I'll tell you if you're doing it wrong :p

I think it's an acquired taste, all Aussies are raised on the stuff from birth...

like the bit when you put the vegeite on the toast?

1) We start with Indian brewed tea:

2) We toast 2 white bread slices in the Black & Decker Toast-R-Oven Plus

3) Spread a good helping of butter on half side of toast

4) Spread a small amount of Vegemite on the other half of toast. (The amount shown on butterknife is half the amount used on the toast)

5) Fold toast in half for optimal dippage capabilities

So this time, I actually tasted the vegemite stuff more, maybe i put more than i did this morning, and i definitely didn't like it. I tried not dipping it in the tea, and it tasted worse...

Toast should be a bit darker and use just slightly less vegemite than you did there. And dipping it in tea....that's new to me.

i've always dipped buttered toast in tea... i think its just the way my gramma brought me up. works well with whole milk, too, when you don't butter it up... not chocolate milk, though.

i'll try with even less next time. somehow i feel determined to find Vegemite appetizing.

Hehe, if you get the dosage even slightly wrong it tastes gross. It's all about the right amount.

...thats what she said.

sorry. had to.

Breakfast spread made from yeast extract, like marmite.

Just for the record, Toffee Pops kick Tim Tams arse.



Winner of Chocolate biscuit award is Toffee Pops. Bad luck Tim Tams.

i went to the Australian shop in Covent Garden to get some. they were crap.

Crikey! (sorry)

Vegemite is very strong tasting, you don't need much to get some flavor.

Of course I used way too much, spread it like jelly and that was a tough sandwich to eat.

Crikey! (sorry)

Inverness, about 1 1/2 days. Not long enough.

No Aussie food to be had. But the beer was fine.

you should go to ireland for the guiness, they sell the strong guiness there, no sparing on the alcohol content.

Done, had a tour of the guinness factory in Dublin. With a free pint @ the end.

OMG you only needed to use 1/5 of that amount, what wrong with you??? are you trying to kill youself there.................

i trust you're aware that Scotland is part of Britain...

the only part of the UK that isn't part of britain is southern Ireland.
