It occupies my thoughts until Friday of each week so much so I can't think of anything else during the week. I need help :o Prawn toast FTW :cool:
Winning much? I don't think I've ever heard of someone who went from smoking to eating Chinese food :D - That Sir, is what I call superb. Good to see someone drop smoking for excellent yummy food. In all serious though, how good is fried ice cream :DQuote:

Each Friday a few of the guys from the office and I do "Asian Friday" where we go out to an Asian restaurant (we have about 4 that we alternate between) and get a lunch special. It's the highlight of the weeks far as work goes. On the list is Thai, Cambodian, Chinese and Indian. And yes, there has been much heated debate about whether Indian qualifies as Asian or not. But they do a great lunch tali so we don't care:cool:Quote:

Gotta thank Azrael for bringing it to my attention ;):D; The Double (Down) is back at KFC for this weekend only but apparently, according to Paulbot, it may be a NSW-only thing. :o
Boy I boy, I want it. But it looks so... bad. I never got to try one when they had them in VIC.Quote:

This may sound odd, but Pretzels and Nuttella are the most amazing combination I've ever tasted. Definitely worth a try.
Not really that weird. Chocolate coated pretzels are awesome.Quote:

Slow-cooked "Kettle/Red Rock" chips aren't very common in America. Considering their appetite (figure of speech) for potato chips & corn snacks in America, that's one that surprises me every year over there (when you see how much they dominate out store shelves now, compared to regular potato chips and corn chips).
Burger Rings and Twisties appear to be fairly unique to Australia, due to the dominance of the American Frito/Lays chip company in most western markets. Some countries have Twisties, but in places like New Zealand, they only have the Cheese flavour. (that was a couple years ago, so could have changed since then)
I remember a few years ago at a Los Angeles "International Food Market" of imported, uniquely national foods, the Australian shelves were very bare of anything unique.
I was out by a year... it was in 2008 at a Cincinnatti Food Market, with an international section. This was their Australian shelf...

Two shelves bare, and still the smallest section in the place.
It's a little blurry, but the ones you can make out are Milo, Vegemite, Fountain sauces, Bushells tea, Australian salt... the rest were brands that I didn't even know were Australian, or brands that are foreign so probably release them elsewhere as well.
No snack food though, but since many snack-foods only have about 3-months shelf-life, they wouldn't be risking importing and hoping they sell fast enough.
Still only CheeseQuote:

I'm fairly sure Aktavite is unique to Australia. It's good stuff too :DQuote:

For anyone interested, here's a great video that shows you how to make your own prawn toast - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN5epS-2E-M
My recommendation is to deep fry them instead of oven baking.
