[daedong]

Welcome, from another Aussie.
We are a mixed bunch here, there are members from around the globe. They do have trouble understanding my language at time so be warned.
[FONT=&quot]Do you have a flick mixer in your kitchen? [/FONT]

 

[Melensdad]

Hi Myst, you'll get along great with Daedong, he hails from Aussieland too.

I can't understand a damn thing he says so maybe you can translate it

 

[daedong]

Myst, what side of the black stump are you from?

 

[Big Dog]

I need translation ................ Welcome and have a good time!

 

[Myst]

Thanks guys.. sheesh you are fast in replying!

Well i can try and translate... us aussie confuse ourselves sometimes though! Yes i do have a flick mixer!

Im from NSW about 2 hrs from Sydney .. what about you daedong?

 

[Big Dog]

Yes i do have a flick mixer!

You didn't translate this ^

 

[Myst]

A flick mixer is a kitchen or sometimes bathroom tap.. here...

I suppose hes explained the whole being pissed thing.. that seems to confuse Americans no end.

[Myst]

Black Stump, Flix Mixer, got me lost, whatever,


Welcome Myst.

Welcome Myst

That's the one thing I understand best. I've been pissed with Aussies a bunch of times.

Oh yeah, Welcome Myst! This is one of my favorites too. Reminds me of Bob S.

 

[Spiffy1]

Now just wait until Mith (Southern UK, I believe) gets in on this.....

I'm just imagininging:

them bushytailed Aussies all pissed with the Pommie in some open slather with a swag of empty tinnies and slabs piled to the flick mixer, the plonk flowing, and laughin'gear running; chinwagg'n 'bout this stickybeak wombat. I'm upsh*tcreek!

Yeah, I probably slaughtered it, but fair Dinkum?

 

[Dargo]

I've never been to Australia, but I've been to the UK a couple of times. Enough to realize that I'm not going to sit at a pub and eat 'haggies' with the locals anymore!

Welcome Myst. Hopefully you guys don't chow down on haggies there.

 

[Ice Queen]

Welcome Myst, I live in Wales, UK. I don't understand half of what anybody says, though I am actually English (don't be fooled by the fact I live in Wales, somebody has to!). Dargo, what on earth are haggies - haggis is something that Scots people eat, but don't really know what it is, except that they play bagpipes to announce its arrival - funny idea! The Americans eat funny things too, but what can you expect from people who drive on the wrong side of the road?!

 

[bczoom]

Welcome Myst!!

The Americans eat funny things too

Ice Queen.
Out of curiosity, what kinds of things do we eat that are funny?

Hey, I was actually in a place called the Terisha Inn (sp?) just off of the M4 (?) motorway that goes from London into Wales. I was actually in Wales. Anyway, I thought they were meat balls. I was right on the last part...

Hi Myst! Welcome!! hold oooonnnn

8 out of ten

 

[Myst]

Wow spiffy well done!

Thanks everyone whos responded.. You sure are a friendly bunch!

Dargo i think your talking about haggis.. thats just nasty stuff.. It is made from lamb’s offal (lungs, liver and heart) mixed with suet, onions, herbs and spices, all packed into a skin, traditionally made of a sheep’s stomach. However just to add some extra flavour its served with mashed spuds ...*shudders* No we dont eat that here! The worst thing ive heard of is people eating kangaroo and emu steaks... eating out national emblem just doesnt sound too appealing to me!

Theres a couple of things that i think sound a lil strange that americans eat.. waffles for breakfast we have them for dessert with caramel sauce and icecream - i cant imagine eating them for breakfast! And also biscuits with food! Biscuits here are what you call cookies there so i cant imagine eating them with gravy at all

American biscuits are more like english scones or shortbread.

 

[Cityboy]

These are American biscuits.

 

[Jim_S]

These are American biscuits.

thanks for bringing me back to reality. I've been sitting here with an image of a plate of chocolate chip cookies with country gravy on them.

Hey, I eat roo steak often; it is lean and better for you than beef. It is free range with no chemicals or hormones pumped into them

[FONT=&quot]Roos are in plague proportions, so what’s the big deal, they need to be culled to keep numbers in check anyway.

National emblem so what.
[/FONT]

 

[Myst]

Ahh different strokes and all that.. i just dont like the idea of chowing down on skippy. Im not that big a meat eater anyway i mainly eat chicken.. now there is something packed with hormones.. though i do usually go free range and organic when i can.

Thanks cityboy yup biscuits are much like scones.. though ive never tried them with gravy they are delicious with jam and cream *shluuurp*

Talking about weird things.. we have a few weird bits and peices for example Vegemite.. we live off the stuff.. our kids grow up on it. Yet its a yeast extract.. now how delicious does that sound *bletch* .. meat pies are big here but i dont think (correct me if im wrong) that they are that big in the US... we do have some delectable things though like pavlova, anzac biscuits and tim tams..

 

[jakki]

A for example Vegemite.. we live off the stuff.. our kids grow up on it. Yet its a yeast extract...

niam, niammmmm!! love it!! On fresh baguette w/a little butter....another version is Marmite....same thing!! Sat mornings with a giant cup of coffeeee...

OK, when's the weekend?

 

[Doc]

Welcome Myst. It's nice too have another aussie in the house!

Nice Avatar!!!

 

[Ice Queen]

As to all the strange things that Americans eat, well, I don't know what half of them are, we don't have them over here. Peanut butter I have once tasted - NEVER AGAIN - YUK, YUK, YUK. Just typing about it makes me shiver! Kangaroo steaks, another yuk, sorry Aussies, or Emus - another yuk, but not so loud this time. Give me a beef steak (medium rare), chips, mushrooms, tomatoes (pronounced tomaatoes, not tomaytoes), or roast beef and yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes (potaytoes, not potaatoes - english pronounciation is totally daft!), boiled potatoes, sprouts, gravy.

 

[Cityboy]

tomatoes (pronounced tomaatoes, not tomaytoes), or roast potatoes (potaytoes, not potaatoes - english pronounciation is totally daft!)

Some folks down here in the deep south of the U.S. fondly refer to them as "maters & taters" The big fluffy biscuits that go with sausage gravy or butter and jams are called cat-heads because they are as big as an ole tom-cats head.

Vin - I'd love to try roo steak. Is it exported? Sounds like roos are as plentiful as our whitetail deer population here. They're cute till they start eating the shrubs you just planted.
