An $10 appetiser featuring an iconic Australian snack has divided diners, who have declared it’s 'peak Sydney'.

Would and have eaten anchovies on Ritz crackers, which I assume are similar to Jatz, but the butter seems extraneous.

I did a quick google because I had never heard of Jatz and it appears that Australians have very strong opinions about Jatz v Ritz and I will be staying out of it.

This is how I feel about people spreading the "cannibal sandwiches are HUGE in wisconsin!!" thing. Spent the first two decades of my life there and never even heard of the things until well after I moved out of the state.

All those midcentury food ads are "nourishing" this and "wholesome" that and it's just wild thinking about suburban moms who'd grown up trying to get enough milk out of the cow to make sure the kids didn't all get pellagra, now able to buy her kids HOSTESS CUP CAKES with CONTINUOUS ENERGY FOR 4 HOURS
I've done deep dives of vintage food ads(on a site which seems to have sadly gone down now) and it's striking just how early that and also the "holy poo poo, this requires basically no time and effort to cook!" marketing starts. Which makes sense, considering that a 1905 housewife is probably seeing that and realizing she might be able to get some precious extra free time now.

My other favorite is the constant emphasis on 'digestability', because nobody was eating enough fiber.

In high school and university no one ever offered me drugs. Not once. Were my schools miraculously drug free, or was I just such a square nobody even bothered to try? Were those posters for a 4/20 day sit in just a joke, and nobody was really smoking weed in the quad that day? :iiam:

Maybe the cannibal sandwiches were huge in Wisconsin but you never heard about them because nobody wanted to party with you. Don't invite Haifisch, they aren't the cannibal sandwich type.

I also lived for more or less three decades in wisconsin, in several regions, and never ever saw any restaurant or whatnot do cannibal sandwiches. And when I asked around when the whole mill on them started going around, and was met with just as much wonder about what that was.

It's very much not a thing outside of like, clickbait 'can you BELIEVE this' stuff.

To be perfectly honest I can't tell the difference between Jatz and Ritz taste-wise, but I'd sooner cut off my balls than eat a Ritz. Pompous Ritz wankers can gently caress right off with their fancy crackers.

As far as I can ascertain it's not something you'd ever order in a restaurant but purely a homecooking kind of thing.

Like you wouldn't really see Pyttipanna in a restaurant.

Sometimes canteen type places that only serve lunch have it as dagens rätt. Other than that it's something that you cook for a tweens birthday party if they want to have dinner and boardgames with their friends, or something a male student that can't really cook tries to impress a girl with on the third date.

Unless you associate with tweens, undergrad students, or get lunch from a personalmatsal you are unlikely to find it in the wild.

It's a dish that's deep in layers of irony at this point.

The Saga

Having lived in Sweden since 1986 when I was born here I have also never seen Flygande Jakob at a restaurant or had it myself (don't like banana anyway). I can't remember ever having heard about it either, but it did occur in one episode of Swedish Masterchef. It seems like a dish that just kind of ceased to exist after the 80s.

I have had pyttipanna at restaurants though, and Biff Rydberg isn't uncommon. And that's literally just pyttipanna with more expensive ingredients.

This is so dumb; communion wafers are just nasty bread until they get blessed by a priest, and then they become bits of Jesus.
Buying communion wafers to mess with them like that is pointless unless you swipe them from a church after they have been blessed.
They are literally dry, unpleasant snacks until they get blessed in a church and put into the tabernacle.

Didn't stop people from getting mad at a burger place near me for doing this:



quote:

Heavy metal burger bar Kuma’s Corner has caught heat for this month’s special, the Ghost Burger (paying homage to the blasphemous Swedish metal band) for its use of a red wine reduction and an unconsecrated communion wafer to go along with a 10oz goat and beef patty, ghost chile aioli, braised goat shoulder, and white cheddar. Some have taken issue with the ingredients mimicking the sacraments of the blood and body of Christ, whereas others just see it as a tasty burger

Kuma's is dumb and bad though

Is there actually a liturgical reason the wafers have to be so bland? I'm not making a joke, I really don't know why they haven't been updated in my lifetime or when/if they were revamped before that

how do you know they didn't get one of those quick-e-priesthood things online and bless the wafers themselves?

At multiple churches I've gone to in Hawai'i, communion is done by having a guy carry around a loaf of sweet bread, letting people rip chunks off it, and dipping those chunks in grape juice.

IIRC they used to use higher quality jesus meat, back when it was feasible to raise enough of them by hand/locally. That pretty much went out the window when they started handing them out to anyone, so they started swapping in lower quality cuts and adding filler like oats. I'm not sure they contain any actual jesus meat anymore, may be mostly symbolic now.

They're cheap, don't spoil, and store densely so they can spend more on the wine.

I get how other traditional dishes in top 10 might be tough to enjoy if you're not used to them, but what's wrong with vegetable roll? It's not particularly exciting or anything, but hardly inedible by any standard. The same goes for scouse, it's just a regular stew, what's to hate there?

Most Catholic churches don't have Communion under both kinds for lay people, and they only partake of the Bread.
