Rigged Death Trap posted:The Australian bush is one step away from being kindling. Because they taste fine and aren't dangerous to eat raw. The mark of the bad survivalist is unnecessary energy expenditure when gathering food - and building fire without matches or a lighter takes a lot of energy. On top of that, the witchetty grub is from central Australia, which you may recognize as being home to one of the largest and least hospitable deserts in the world, with a lot of areas of relatively little plant life and fuel for good fires.

JacquelineDempsey posted:Ok, my Aussie friends, can I get a clarification on this? So you put pickled beets (or pickled beetroot, in your parlance) on your burgers? That sounds delightful. No weirder than us putting pickled cucumbers on ours, which is SOP for every fast food place. Yes, we often put slices of tinned beetroot on our burgers. It might be a different brine and we just call it tinned, not pickled, but it's essentially the same. It's a bit sweet, a little sour, and it has just enough bite to go nicely with the rest of the burger. We also like bacon, eggs, and pineapple on there, and mostly we use mild cheddar (we call it tasty) rather than the processed singles for the cheese. An Aussie burger with the lot is a confusing, delicious, sweet, messy, salty, greasy experience, perfect after a long night out or a day at the beach. That kiwi burger is missing the cooked onions too, which are pretty much standard here and also delicious. They do them up on the flat top so they cook in the accumulated grease and filth of the day's (or longer at sleazier joints) sausages and burgers, caramelizing really nicely and actually taking on a pretty nice sweet-onion-umami flavour profile.

Don't cook with olive oil, its hella bad for you. Eat it uncooked, its great, but it turned out to be quite bad for you to cook in it. Frying with animal fat or some different vegetable oil is preferred now.

To be fair, not all of us are like that. Those of us lucky enough to have significant Indian and Thai populations nearby gradually work up our affection for actual spice and move up to versions they aren't making bland as gently caress to appeal to the general palate. The Australian culinary world is in a bit of a change at the moment with an increasing emphasis on flavour and international influences merging with local techniques and ingredients, so over the next two decades things should improve a little. At the moment though eating at a friend's place can be a recipe for the Sadface. I had a friend caution me a curry he made was for the 'daring'. It had zero spice. Like, none. I had to put so much spiced lime pickle on there to get any that it was overwhelmingly sour.

Tiggum posted:Fo3 is wrong anyway, we've definitely had tacos and tortillas for a lot longer than 7 years. Also, flat-bottomed tacos are a gimmick that one company does, not some weird Australian way to make them. And I don't know what he means about Mexican food not being big here, because just about every supermarket seems to have a "Mexican" section. Even if the pre-packaged spices in "taco kits" or jars of salsa or whatever aren't "authentic" it's not like you can't get the ingredients to just make stuff. FO3 also said we can't buy jars of crushed tomatos that aren't Italian imports that time. I really wanna know where he shops.

Looks almost like a fruitier, less-coffee-centric take on a tiramisu, really.

poop dood posted:what the gently caress is chicken salt No one really knows. It's brown, salty, delicious, and probably like 95% MSG at most places. Some say it has chicken stock, some don't. Whatever it is, it's loving great. Savoury and salty and good.

That is not a proper meat pie - not in the Aussie sense, anyway. Like Tiggum says, the shape is wrong, as is the look of the filling. It looks like a perfectly acceptable meat pasty but not a pie. Incidentally, we do other things than just beef in our pies. Some of the best involve peas and potato, curry, or bacon as well as the steak. Good steak and kidney is also popular, and there's a bakery near me that does a nice pie with beef, bacon, and actual cheddar beneath the lid that is delicious, if fattening as hell. Peppersteak is also really popular as a pie, but it's normally just a conventional beef filling with a ton of black pepper mixed through - delicious, but not the same as some of the 'steak' pies which are a bit 'chunkier'.

A quick google tells me that thing is made with venison. So not only do they fail to understand that it's 'herd', they don't grasp the 'sheep' side of things either.

rodbeard posted:There's a lot of difference between laughing at bachelor chow and animal cruelty. Man, balut ain't animal cruelty. It is, however, delicious once you get past the initial shudder of disgust! Cicada soup and chicken balls ain't animal cruelty either, and we know gently caress all about the provenance of the crispy critter to decide if it's cruel or not. It's a guinea pig, by the way.

Captain Lavender posted:I used to go to my friends house, and they would spray I Can't Believe It's Not Butter on angel-hair pasta with just salt and pepper and it was super satisfying. brb, buying ICBINB. Just use actual butter, it's much better and not particularly weird to have a bowl of buttered noodles from time to time. Fatty, but not weird. poo poo, add a little parmesan and garlic and you've got a proper dish if you eat it in moderation as part of a full meal.

It's a misnomer. Uncured bacon just means bacon cured in an 'organic' fashion, and usually with even more salt than normal bacon.

It is so very, very appropriate that it has such a sort of... 'Industrial' name.
