I don't see how anyone could...

[ServantStrike]

Well. That backfired.

Always remember, if you keep flinging enough mud at the wall, eventually some of it is going to stick. The trouble is you're also covered in mud (as in evidence).

Or if you want to go with scripture.
How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

So... level with me here.

You tried something equally appalling at one point didnt you? Like peanut butter and tuna. Sweet mercy do not try peanut butter and tuna. It won't kill you, but you'll wish it did...

Why would anyone ever want to eat meatloaf *gags*

 

[Tintin]

I don't know what Australians did to anger God,
but I heard vegemite was part of His punishment.

I know. It left a black mark against our country's name. Salty tears, yo. Salty tears.
The real problem is you guys spread it far too thickly. The smallest bit works well with a bit of butter.

You've never had my meatloaf then.

A bit of veal, a bit of lean beef, and then non lean beef. Just enough bread crumbs to keep it together, but not enough that they are used as "filler."

It's like hamburger really, but it has a baked flavor to it.

I've never tried a meatloaf I've approved of... I'm not even willing to try anymore... I'm too scarred from bad past experiences.

Also I've never tried veal.

The real black mark is the poisonous fauna you guys have. Snakes, spiders, and jellyfish. Seriously it's like the entire continent is trying to kill you guys, and the ocean too. Regular box jellyfish weren't dangerous enough so you stepped it up a notch and discovered the Irukandji in the 60's.

I may be biased here though. I really really do not like jellyfish. I had a bad experience when one got caught in my bathing suit once (yes caught). I may post it in the awkward moments thread at some point. It's a good story.


Vegemite, I've always wanted to try.

It's true! We have a beautiful country with little violence, except from the local wildlife. I don't know what God was thinking when he moved every dangerous creature here.

Yes, give Vegemite a go but only spread on a little (with butter).

Sweet And Sour Tuna Recipe - Food.com - 209698

Those poor souls.

Thanks, Liamson, but I think I'll pass. I tried something alternative some years ago. Lemon tuna, baked beans, spaghetti sauce and something else (I can't remember what). It was AWFUL!

there is this AWESOME website....

Supercook: recipe search by ingredients you have at home

Basically its a Recipe Calculator, You put in the ingredients you have and it spits out the available recipes that you can make.

I usually just use it for building blocks or as a basic template for what I do.

However its saved me from trying to forge out on my own and reinvent the wheel when it comes to wondering if Bacon bits, breaded Zucchini, Mediterranean pimento Olives, Hamburger, Swiss Chard, Fettuccine and Cream of Tomato soup could go together in a Casserole.

Sounds like you have PTMD (Post Traumatic Meat Disorder).

It's very common in the restaurant industry...
anyone who's seen their buddies attacked by unknown entrees.
Leaves deep scars on the psyche, those sudden meat attacks.

But it's cured easy enough - a little therapy, heavy medication, and just a smidge of electric shock.
Nothing to worry about.

And hey, electric shock can be kinda fun.

: )

Yes, Vegemite is a classic Australian spreading high in Vitamin B. It puts on rose on every cheek!

Well then our Subway restaurants lied to us. Subway is a popular sandwich shop in America. They used to sell this vegetable patty and called it Vegemite. My friend had it once and said it was the most disgusting thing she's ever had. I'll have to let her know that it wasn't Vegemite.

You should try Nutella. It has no nutritional value but it's a hazelnut chocolate spread. It's good!

 

[Tintin]

We have both Subway and Nutella here. I last (and first) had Nutella in my high school days. It was very enjoyable.

 

[Fenner]

Australia has Subway restaurants? What's next for you people, electricity??

Never, I tell you! Never!
But seriously, some years ago I was on another forum, discussing country differences etc. with an American and they stopped at one point and asked me if Australia had electricity and if we did, what we plugged the power points etc. into. I played along. It was a glorious moment.

Instead of breadcrumbs, I use grated parmesan cheese and one egg to hold it together. Gives it more flavor and protein.

I am probably the only person on the planet who has not yet tried Nutella.

They must have thought you were peddling a stationary bike connected to a generator. Or maybe you have Kangaroos jumping to generate your electricity.

*smacks forehead*

I forgot the egg!

But parmesan sounds even more delicious than the bread crumbs. I wonder if maybe some other shredded cheeses couldn't be added for a cheesy meat loaf. Hmmm...

How can anyone even ask that. How would you have powered your computer? And don't say hampsters in a wheel, I have a patent pending on that invention, or I should.
