"He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich"... what a weird lyric, really .stefan.urlus wrote:and here I never knew that psychobabble was australian .... ahhh vegemite - immortalised in song ("down under" - if you don't know)
Unfortunately it's English.what else is a delicacy in Australia???
the meat pie??
We're not the only country in the world to cook sausages on a hot plate, unfortunately .the snag on the barbie??
I think we like to claim the pavlova as ours (bonus picture!) but it's probably from New Zealand. There's a similar debate about lamingtons. And would you belive that there's a similar debate around ANZAC (Australia and New Zealand Army Corp) biscuits? Other than that there's damper which is a highly original mixture of flour, water and whatever else is floating around in your swag (meat, insects, sugar).can't really think of anything
So, to my knowledge, all Australian cuisine is either stolen from our sheep loving neighbours (like Russel Crowe!) or highly unimaginative/inedible. We have a lot to be proud of .
PS. Actually, is there anywhere else in the world that pumpkin soup is a staple? It's basically unheard of in the US to my knowledge and I'm not convinced the English eat it. But I might be wrong.

Maybe not a staple, but it's pretty common to find here in the fall. I myself make a curried pumpkin-black bean soup frequently in that period of the year.Psychobabble wrote:PS.

Sounds herbal. Does that possess any healing properties, or is that soup your secret for eternal life? Vampires must have taken something other than blood to keep them young...Corribus wrote:Maybe not a staple, but it's pretty common to find here in the fall.
