.......even the beetroot

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

I love beetroot, but sometimes all I want is a plain tin of beans or spaggetti and all I can get is cheese or extra cheese...

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

Almost everything you buy has coconut in it too.....bluuurrrr

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

i know, my kids used to love the spagetti on toast but they dont like the cheesy crap you get here, i still buy the english beans, not quite the same but gotten used to them

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

ooh i like coconut, especially in thai dishes YUM !!! im hungry now

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

I try to get plain watties beans if I can, they are heinz..

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

I cook with Coconut milk/Cream and creamed coconut, but cannot abide the desiccated stuff which seems to be in most cakes, biscuits and even cheesecake bases here. Believe me, I can detect it before eating them.

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

same here, the real deal is great in cooking but those superficial coconut filings are yuck

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

Hi C, how's life treating you?:)

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

I can't bear the coconut in the base of cheesecake - what a waste of good cake !

You know your in Australia when.........



All the whinging poms moan about the food and tv instead of understanding they are no longer in the uk and things may be different:p

Disclaimer - I hate all the asian food here as it contains friggin coconut or some other sweetener:mad:

PS- quite like the tv, I love American crime shows etc, don't know what you all miss from UK tv, enlighten me please

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

Sorry, but I think most of the whinging poms do understand only too well that they are no longer in the UK and that things may be different.

But in no way does this make the TV better. It's still crap.:)

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

What is the reason for it being crap though? Whats so much better about Uk tv?
Well apart from the horrendous adverts here I give you that!!

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

It's hard to explain really, and very subjective. It just seems to be more inventive, intelligent, interesting. Much UK TV is still crap, but there seems to be more good stuff in between. Just my view.

Re: you know your in Australia when...........
 

If I don't understand I'm not in the UK, then I have a huge problem 'cos I've been in Oz for more than a decade. :rofl:

You know you're in Oz when you have fellow poms bleating on about whinging poms....:p

It's subjective mate. I loathe American crime series/soaps/aussie dramas & the shows they pass of for comedy. See? We're all different, but then I wasn't moaning or whinging about food or tv.:sneaky:
