- I can't believe you will admit to actually buying Fosters. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you were buying it as a gift for American friends. - Skippy
- Did I see PROMITE?????????? spittuoiii.........call yourself an Aussie and ya have PROMITE???????.....for shame. - Stephanie
- I had my first taste of Egg Nog last night and I must say I was impressed! I always had the impression that the stuff was completely undrinkable. - Cyn
- So finally, after much biting, and caramel on (and up) my nose, I finally got a bite of sugary sweet caramel, blended with the tart apple...it was like "Mmmm, sweet caramel" followed by "Oh my God" mouth puckering, eye crossing early season tart apple. - Ginnie
- I'm pretty bloody lucky...3000 people in my town in the mountains, and I get Tim Tams.......unreal. - Mike in Canada
- .. how long, O Lord, do i have to wait for my BLOODY MEAT PIES! - Felicity Therese
- Needless to say some of my USA friends did NOT quite get why I was hyperventillating over mere sweets, but I explained that once they tasted them they would be converted to the Cult Of The Tim Tam. - Susan
- Legend has it that some Canadian provinces get VB from the UK (where it is called Victoria BEER). But the rest of us are stuck waiting for some kindly Aussie visitor to bring some gifts that are hand-carried through Customs into the USA. - Jeff J
- I am more than sure that the original recipe for Vegemite will never be tarted around with. If some heffa wants to bitch moan and groan about getting chunky on the stuff, just wait....there will be a "slim" version. - Adele
- I would rather eat pond scum than Krispy Kreme - Stephanie
- Steph, have you tasted pond scum lately? It aint what it used to be! - Felicity Therese
- The BEST donuts in the world are found in Australia! They are normally found on roadside stops, Queen Vic Market or at the football. Jam (NOT JELLY) filled, soft inside, and slightly hard outside, they MUST be eaten when HOT! Now I'm feeling sick. - Anthony
- At Winco here we have Aussie legs of lamb and even chops. Each time I pick them up, give them a pat, take a sigh and put them back because they are way too expensive! But one of these days when I sell everything I own, including 1 slightly used 12 yr old kid, I am going to buy a leg of lamb! - Pauline
- Lamingtons are all iced and sitting very nicely in their cake container. Well, except for one of the lamingtons, if you look really closely, yes, take out the magnifying glass if you must, but see that crack, that means it has to be eaten straight away! Sigh, guess I will just have to do the right thing and sit down and eat this icky, horrible lamington. - Pauline
- A.D. Denizen, of Melbourne, wrote: "I happen to think a virgin jar of Vegemite is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. The small dark bubble craters and the delicate quiff on the surface of an unviolated Vegemite mass are indeed works of beauty. Conversely, I abhor dipping my knife into a jar of Vegemite which contains wisps of butter or margarine, disgusting dandruff-like crumbs or, God forbid - jam - the natural enemy of Vegemite." - Rebecca in Perth
- At the end of the isle I noticed this lovely cylindrical container, boasting the famous and very familiar Milo green. I turned to the 4' 5" South Korean store owner who was helping me find my ingredients, I grabbed both of his shoulders with my excited hands and said "Mate, I love you!!" Apart from my father, I believe that is the first man I have ever said that to. - Dennis Reidlinger
- What does everybody here use to substitute copha for their chocolate crackles. I used vegetable lard and lets just say they left a nasty taste in our mouths. I was trying to impress some americans here with some Aussie sweets and I ended up looking like a fool. Somebody PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!! - Dennis
- Well even though I live in a cave and eat grubs I can easilly get Liptons or Tetley at any local grocery store. - Adam in VA
- Everyone knows that's a hard earned thrist and for a hard earned thrist you need an ice cold beer and the best cold beer is Vic, Victoria Bitter. (Man, I get tears in my eyes just thinking about that ad.) - Neale in MI
- That's like me hating vegemite.....I always worry that the vegemite police are going to come and take my passport away.... - Jenny T
- I have been here 24 hours now and already I have had 2 chiko rolls, lemon, lime and bitters, some assorted lollies, some assorted cream biscuits, and we went grocery shopping today and my mother just laughed as I walked down each and every aisle, grabbing anything I can't get in the US. - Jodie in NC (visiting in Qld)
- I had my happiest moment this week when I found 'Violent(sic) Crumbles' at a nearby Meijer store. - WBDogs
- When Bill and I were in Tasmania last year we bought some Koala Poo, Wombat Doo and Kangaroo goo. Delicious!!!! - Joanne
- If you want to get some really strange looks, butter 2 slices of bread, sprinkle Milo onto one, put the other on top & viola - Milo sandwich. - OzConnor
- I make sure I put a ton of the stuff in the glass so I can have lots of chunky bits to scoop of the top. Milo would not be Milo any other way! - Jodi in NY
- When I start to complain how yucky some of the food is, Dave reminds me that we eat Musk flavored candy, and have vegemite..lol - Deb M

- I've only met ONE non-Aussie who liked vegemite, and he was a German who rode a unicycle to university every day, and juggled knives for a hobby. - Rebecca
- Oh beetroot is the food of the gods...I LOVE beetroot, I have it on everything, I especially love to gross out my sons when I put it on my burgers....yum yum - Jenny
- Not liking Vegemite doesn't make you a bad person. There a millions of nice people in the world who don't like vegemite. Unfortunately none of them are Australian. - Neale in MI
- Jodie's question on ANZAC bickies made me think, I really HATE them, I also HATE vegemite, which many of my Aussie friends tell me is enough to get me permanently deported... - Jenny
- Even though I didn't really like the taste, I kept chewing this flavoured gum for a few days because, trying to work out what it was, was on the tip of my tounge. And then it hit me like a brick wall while I was driving!!! Dencorub!! I'm eating bloody dencorub!! Needless to say, I spat it out the window and haven't touched it since! - Shirl in IL
- I got all excited at my store the other day when I saw the Cadbury brand easter eggs, imagine my shock when they said Made by Hersheys under license from Cadbury.....arrhhhhhh... oh well. I didnt buy them - Deb & Dave
- He still is shaking his head about the musk sticks and when I eat them, he is like "yuckkkkk get away" lol. - Deb & Dave
- My cupboard is now full of, dark choc tim tams, twisties, burger rings, musk sticks, vita-weats, weet-bix, kingstons, iced vovos, macadamia biscuits, gravy mix, "real" cadbury chocolate etc etc - I was so excited to unpack a whole suitcase full of food & oh yeah my mum arrived safely too!!! - Melissa
- Don't die laughing but I would miss valveeta cheese if I moved back home because I am totally addicted to melted valveeta with a can of Rotel mixed through. - Leah
- I think you need to be fed it (Vegemite) from birth, so that you're addicted before you have the sense and strength to fight back. - Chris
- DO NOT TRY CRISCO IN CHOCLATE CRACKLES...EWWWWWWWWW PTHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOO. I had to go brush my teeth to get rid of the taste, and even the dog wouldn't eat them..ptuoooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeee - Ree
- By the way, I took a dozen lamingtons to the hospital when I met with the ER staff. They loved the food and decided they would give me a chance...... *LOL* - Jeff J
- And LAMB!!! it has taken me 18 months to get over the shock of having to take a second mortgage on the house here to buy a Leg of Lamb at the store. - Debbie
- Freddo Frogs and Caremello Bears...I miss them as much as my family. - Jenny
- Last Christmas we were at my brother's apartment in Seattle and he was handing out musk sticks to his American buddies. One of the guys took a bite and spat it out. Then, on the way to bar, he suddenly said, oh my god, my mouth tastes like a cheap whore! His wife was not very impressed! - Leah
- He still is shaking his head about the musk sticks and when I eat them he is like yuckkkkk get away lol. - Deb & Dave M
- Then, I went to get some milk. My goodness, all I wanted was some bloody milk, what was this? 60,000 choices!?? LOL - Jodie in NC
- I picked up packet after packet of bacon, saying to Steve, "but where's the real bacon?" - Rose
- Now I'm sitting here with a bowl of Perry's "Death by Chocolate" in one hand and a Cherry Ripe in the other...talk about the best of both worlds - KimC
- I had a sad thing happen to me today.... My LARGE jar of Vegemite shattered all over my kitchen floor. - Adele
- What he didn't remember, is that I once promised him that if he ever got to like vegemite, then I would force myself to eat "grits". - Rose
- Bring the big jars of Vegemite. When they asked us if we were bringing anything in to declare, we showed them the jars & they quickly went 'Um, yeah OK, move through', like it was nuclear waste or something (well, to most Yanks, it is). - Ozconnor
- Ah, Tim Tams - quite definitely the food of the gods. - Toxic Custard
