Now this is just funny, Griffin I know you would probably be interested in these

Bean Boozled. Basically they are Jelly Bellies with weird flavours. Much like in Harry Potter. The colours are the same, but you could get either of 2 flavours.

Example, There are black Jelly Bellies that are either licourice, or skunk stink

That one is not going to be nice. But by far one of the worst I had was one that is either peach or vomit (that one is just vile lol) And a new flavour is either Strawberry Jam, or centipede

Didn't get skunk stink in the boxes, kinda sux, but I'm kinda greatful lol.

Tried Cenitpede and Canned Dog food, and I wouldn't recommend either of them But at the next Ozformers meet, I will be bring along the game that it came with

I have a massive craving for Jack in the Box burgers. I wish they branched out to Australia

I don't know if I was just caught up in the moment, but I swear the burgers in America are far more superior! Dare I say that fastfood burgers were on par with so called "gourmet" burgers here in OZ. The beef patties seem more juicy and substantial and the *ahem* vegetables seem fresher.

Went to the Taste of Sydney food festival yesterday - much international yum! Also met several celebrity chefs and one former Master Chef contestant.

Here's what was on offer, and my recommendations from that would be:

* New Zealand Smoked Salmon (yum!)


* Regal King Salmon and potato fishcakes with tartare sauce and fresh lemon


* 12 Hour Braised Lamb Shoulder with Pea and Feta Salad

* Crisp Wagyu beef with wild mushroom and truffle foam (the foam is so yum!)

So, the KFC Double Down burger (a hamburger where the bun is replaced by two pieces of deep fried chicken) is coming to Australia. Anyone dare to eat it and its 2000kj? Or the Zinger version with 2515kj and 35.7g of fat. Yikes!

I'll buy it if I can get my hands on it. I will always try new burgers at least once.

Agreed.
It will take years of my life but from what I've heard it is worth it.

Ate a packet of Kelloggs Apple Jacks cereal just now, they are pretty damn good. Like cheerios ,but flavoured with apple and cinnamon.

Are they out in Australia, or did you get them from a specialty import store / from someone who got them in America?

I wish they were out here. Found them a specialty store that sells alot of that stuff. Was a plastic cup, one serving of them. I mite go pick up more this week.
