I expect alot of people would find them a bit hard going. Think of really crunchy malty flavoured tiny rough ballbearings. (ok - I'm not good at descriptions....)

I like to use them in a Key Lime Pie base (mix with crushed digestives for a crunchier base) - it's a Delia recipe.

Re: Supermarkets!!!!
 

If I find a recipe and am successful with it, I'll let you know. Even in the UK, it wasn't something I'd eat every week.....but every now and then with some butter.....I liked it.

See the South Africans (this being an SA owned operation) show the Aussies how to do it properly again. Par for the course really.

Just for the record I am not your Luv, if you do have a luv she is a very lucky girl not only does she have someone to carry her shopping but also tells her how many staff are attending on each visit :D (and I thought plane and trainspotting was sad!) You really take the biscuit, to coin a phrase. As for safeway and Coles Coburg, both with around 22 checkouts! Whoopee do! Tesco at Leicester has 48, but who gives a toss! Oh sorry the little man in the orange anorak counting how many staff are working the Deli counter! LOL :D

i'm a bit biased in a negative way, but i think toowoomba looks nice and could have potential. but it's really a bit of a backwards town, with a greater percentage share of weirdos in it's population than most places, highest number of teenage pregnancies in australia (this info from a girl who works at toowoomba hospital, so i can't vouch for it's accuracy). there's very little to do there (it is a small town) although there's a couple of ok restaurants. it's far too far away from the beach (two hours plus) and get's far too cold during winter. it's got a far greater proportion of hoons with big modified ute's than you'd like, as there's nothing else for the kids to do.

otherwise i guess it's ok ;)

ok, so that's my opinion, and it's based on the fact that i begrudge going there usually every week or so (i hate the two hour early morning drive through the rush hour traffic jams and terrible australian drivers back to brisbane to get to work). i've probably made it sound worse than it is, although i do believe most of what i've said. (also according to a resident of woomby, stay east of ruthven st, and north. the rest of it is not nice).

Hey Jan

Is there something missing in your life that makes you want to troll the forum? Or are you using an alter ego?

Re: Supermarkets!!!!
 

You Idiot !


Hmmm at least you can count to 48, so thats some saving grace, must have been barefooted and with the family that day, Because if you cannot manage to find the biscuits, I doubt if you would have manged to count above 20 on your own.

How did you manage to miss erm Luv ?

BTW, I doubt If you will manage to stay on this board for more than a month ;)

I've tried the Queen Vic markets but no luck. I don't think monterey jack is from Europe??

Re: Supermarkets!!!!
 

I always thought Monterey Jack was American cheese - it's the only place I've ever seen it.

Re: Supermarkets!!!!
 

Thats what i thought. They sold it in my local tesco though ;) :)

When it comes to leaving yourself wide open to criticism, the above post is like a dripping roast!

First of all, I admire your sense of humour. You must be a barrel of laughs at social gatherings.

Secondly, you suggest that I should learn to read.
Your above post, and the one I replied to previously, certainly presented me with a challenge in the reading department.
I'll concede that point.

Instead of looking for biscuits, why don't you use your next supermarket outing to buy a, "pick & mix" bag of appropriately placed commas, full stops, capital letters, and spaces between words?

You see, my reading prowess has always been based on the fact that what I am given to read is grammatically legible. Your posts, unfortunately, do not fall into that category.

I would love to say that you did well with your previous reply, but I only give credit where credit's due.
I'm afraid it's a, "Must try harder" form me.

PS. Keep 'em rolling in the isles with that silver tongued wit of yours.
You'll make lots of friends. Honest!

Re: Supermarkets!!!!
 

Nope it's from Mexico, they use it in some Restaurants here,so it has to be available, I'm guessing that Meditteranean wholesalers, being the biggest Oseas food retail outlet In Vic, may have or know where you can acquire it.

Thats my wifes assumption anyway.

Re: Supermarkets!!!!
 

Tell her thank you and i will keep an eye out for it. And if anyone else finds it can they let me know?? Ta.xxxx :)

People who shun that sort of friendliness have come to the wrong country. Get over it.

ABC's wife is probably the main thing that stops him, not his age :D .
