I was opening a new bottle of pills. Used to be you took the lid off, then you pulled the wad of cotton out, then you got your pill. But now you take the child safety cap off and fight your way through the plastic aluminum safety seal. I really hate that Tylenol killer guy. Not because he killed people. I didn't know those people, and even though I know this makes me a bad person, I don't really care about them.

Brazos John Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 1 hour ago, Buckshot Bear said: Four Aussie favs 1, OK, Vegemite on bread or toast, I get it. Never had it, but would be willing to try. 2. Is that a sausage, hot dog, or what kind of tube steak with ketchup (same kind that we use)? On a universal bun. It identifies as a bun for whatever meat is used. 3. Avocado toast. We love it in Texas, and loved it in Brussels with Belgian chocolate milk. Odd coupling, I know, but the avo toast was the cheapest thing on the menu at $11. I haven't put feta cheese on it, but I'll try it! 4. Sprinkles on marshmallow bread / toast? Looks fun, need details. My Wife has been posting photos of me on Fbook, since I just earned another birthday candle, but all of the photos show me eating. The hot choc in Brussels, glühwein all over Germany, tacos all over Texas, chicken fried steak, all kinds of good stuff. So, it's neat to see the kinds of foods that other folks like.

Thanks, Buckshot! Thanks for the post John! Vegemite seems to be VERY polarizing, you either love the stuff or loath it. Being brought up from babies on the stuff Aussies are in the former. 2, is just a plain old banger (that's what we call a sausage here in Oz) on a slice of bread with tomato sauce (what yo guys call ketchup). 3. Some Aussies have 'upmarketed' avo on toast and added Feta cheese....I like just plain smashed avo on my toast. 4. You would be hard pressed to go to a child's birthday party in Oz and there wasn't 'Fairy bread' on the table....white buttered bread sprinkled with hundreds and thousands.....and you will see adults partake in them to recapture their childhoods https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairy_bread 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
