[tanya]

christmas pudding/cake, fruit cake...

[WizBin]

Beetroot (damn, need ten characters to post)

[robyn48]

I can only think of lamb's fry as well.

:rotfl: Are you trolling us Jim?:winking:

[P.P.]

Vegemite
Lamb anything

[Smudge]

I love all that stuff except for the lambs fry(is that Australian?) and beer.

What is wrong with you people???

Dimsims are food of the gods!!!

[RollyTG]

I'd have to go with Chiko Roll and lambs fry.

[WBdogs1]

:rotfl: Are you trolling us Jim?:winking:

No way.

beetroot - The ladies in the school tuckshop learned quite early NEVER to put beetroot on anything that I ordered. Never. Ever.
Vegemite - Diarrhea looks more inviting and probably tastes better, though I refuse to do a comparison test.
Lamingtons - ANYTHING with dessicated coconut makes me spew.
mint jelly - Mint belongs in Juleps and NOT on meat.
pasties(the bakery kind) - Spew in pastry.
Cherry Ripes - Coconut- ewwwwwww!
musk sticks. Why would anyone want to eat anything that smells like deodorant/shaving lotion?

Here endeth the lesson. :)

[WBdogs1]

Amen to that! Amen!

[tanya]

i too dont like lamingtons, but not only because of the dessicated coconut. i find them to be very bland... and using stale sponge cake - :throwup:
mint anything - :throwup: dogs piss on mint...

i love musk sticks though, lol!!!

[aRna]

beetroot, grilled pineapple and passionfruit on pavlova- (it TOTALLY ruins it)

[kyrial]

Ok...all crazy...I thought you were Aussies...except the people who dislike Chokos....my mum did her best with the butter and salt to make them appealing but no go(not convinced they are Aussie faire tho...origins to Mexico..)...the lambs fry...well....not the most yummy I agree but think of all that iron :)

One of my fondest memories...My dad (meat lover) would do a mixed grill....steak,chops, bacon, liver, eggs....awesome!!!

[Lolls]

hate, I loathe lambs fry and that other offal one white and comes wiith white sauce ... turned me off white sauce for 40 years lol well untill I had chicken fried steak with country gravy now I love white sauce.

I dislike Timtams, I will eat one to be polite and not be shunned from an aussie tupperware party but dont offer me a 2nd lol

Tripe is the white one

[matt]

Wow...looks like I won't be sharing my lamb's fry recipe on the blog then! :ohno:

[robyn48]

The last time I ate tripe was back in the 50s when it was a staple at our place on Sunday night. The other foods I can remember from my childhood that I would NEVER eat now is pressed tongue (I can still see it sitting in the fridge) and a delicacy that my Mum called underground mutton aka rabbit. As if the alternative name sounded so much more appetizing.

[Sheryll]

Lychees, tapioca, sago, milk tea. All the other stuff you guys have mentioned sounds yummy, and I will put some of it on my "must eat before I go back" list. :drool:

And yes, I did try fresh lychees here 11 years ago, and they were edible but just not right for my taste buds. :ohno:

[greymare]

oh lychees are one of my favourites. and everything else mentioned on here, I love.......except tripe! My mother is the best cook in the world, she could make anything delicious........except tripe......sorry ma!! LOL. Lambs fry and bacon was a must for me, when I was pregnant. I couldnt cook it, but I could sure eat it.

[philandkris]

C'mon Jim......vegemite and diarrhea are nothing alike!!!! Bulldogs supporters are meant to be tough!

And watching the cooking channel the other night, I watched in horror as someone (in the US) slabbed a whole glob of peanut butter onto a hamburger with what looked like close to the lot! I like satay,but I would take beetroot anyday over peanut butter on my burger with the lot :throwup:

[Claire in CA]

[Cynless in Seattle]

I think it's technically British but I hate Trifle. Not a fan of soggy cake in general and it doesn't matter how much booze is in it, I still can't eat it.

I'm another choko hater. They were never meant to be eaten IMO.

[Jacaranda]

Choko ----> 162 :)

Yukko! lol

[Jacaranda]

Wow...looks like I won't be sharing my lamb's fry recipe on the blog then! :ohno:


Sorry Matt! but I refuse to eat anything that filters anything! Including kidneys! or as I like to call them p*ss filters! lol

[matt]

Food of the gods. I forgot, oxtail, brawn and tongue are the go too....yummmm! :rotfl:

[kyrial]

Food of the gods. I forgot, oxtail, brawn and tongue are the go too....yummmm! :rotfl:

I am with you matt. Some of my mums yummiest faire was oxtail soup and beef tongue with lashings of mash and gravy. You just have to get past the "thought" of what it is.

Now brawn...yuck...gelatinous double yuck!!

[kyrial]

me too - can't stand it! love pineapple but hate it cooked - yuck yuck yuck - oh but I do like pineapple upside down cake - hmm how is that?

did I tell you I hate cooked pineapple?

Ok when I come over for a barbi I will only bring enough for me ....love love love charred pineapple on the barbi :poke:

[aussiechicka]

[philandkris]

I think it's technically British but I hate Trifle.

You can't be putting enough booze in it :D:drinkies:

Great Cooee!! Now I want one too!

I do make banana fritters with icecream and caramel topping from time to time... Might have to do that this weekend now! lol

[aussiechicka]

Red Rooster is always my first stop when I'm picked up in Rocky lol

[Rose]

I don't think that "organ meat" is an Australian thing, but I'm with everyone else - hate it and you'd have to hold a gun to my head.

I hate musk sticks - I could just as easily eat my toothpaste. :) I don't like those banana lollies - yucko.

[snooky]

I refuse to eat any organ meat too. I would rather eat a squirrel.

[RollyTG]

Cooee the Red Rooster pack no longer has the banana :(

I thought that was just because bananas were $12 a kilo last time I was there. :yikes: I always loved the Red Rooster Hawaiian pack - my go to meal after a few beers when I didn't feel like cooking.

[Jacaranda]

My hubby and friends here think they taste like perfume! lol

[TwoUp]

My hubby and friends here think they taste like perfume! lol

What you mean think! they do - I hate it too

[Jacaranda]

What you mean think! they do - I hate it too



NOT! lol My mum loved them so we had them quite often when growing up. I do really love those green, yellow and orange ones too! They actually taste like fruit! lol

[aussiechicka]

No, the banana has been gone since long before that! At least in Rockhampton QLD anyways lol

[bellebird]

I have been sitting here after reading all your posts and cant think of anything original..lol..anything mint except for minties and definitely offal.

[Sinn]

NOT! lol My mum loved them so we had them quite often when growing up. I do really love those green, yellow and orange ones too! They actually taste like fruit! lol

I'm a fan of those fruit sticks.

My brother has a recipe called a New Zealand Lolly Log that has chopped up fruit sticks in it. It's really yummy.

I'd definitely like to give that go! Unfortunately not possible until I move back to Aus tho!

[Sharon]

Kangaroo meat. Cant even stand the smell of the stuff.

[philandkris]

Sharon, I can understand the smell thing...however, we ate wallaby regularly as hamburgers....put meat on the table...one food I do miss!!!
