Burger Rings are crisps (aka chips) aren't they? I see the kids in school with them, they seem to be very popular, next time a kid has some I'm gonna pinch one lol

Had some of those a little while ago. Only drawback is the coconut deposits in the teeth.

I felt obliged to try one since they apparently originate from Toowoomba, the lady @ Brumbies even gave me it for free, which should've made it taste better, but...nahhhh LOL

They should have them at your local Market Deli, you can buy Greek ones in tins for about 8 bucks, with 40 in them. Pretty sure they do them in Coles and Woolworths as well. They are a lot more expensive at the Supermarkets from memory. Wifes asleep so cant ask her yet. Once you start they are difficult to stop eating.

Deli section at most supermarkets. I've bought dolmades in a tin before. If youre a veggo, then Greek cuisine is the way to go.

I do eat meat (chicken and fish), but maybe only once a fortnight or so...don't really enjoy it that much....

OK. Yep, Im not keen on this whole red meat diet thing that some Aussies buy into, very hard to digest and makes me too sleepy. What a pussy I am.

Had a crack at making Vietnamese cold rolls just yesterday and used free range chicken, fried it in peanut oil - divine. Apart from salmon, I'd recommend fillets of basa. Really versatile and I paid 6 bucks for 3 big fillets.

All these things exclusive to Australia as far as Im concerned.
