Pretty sure beetroot in hamburgers is common all throughout Australia (and maybe NZ?).

Well, the McOZ is Australia wide and has Beetroot. Apparently the NZ version is called a Kiwiburger and is the same thing but with an egg.

Where's our egg McDonalds?

I don't get the velveeta hate. It works perfectly for what it was meant for, a cheese and melts extremely easily and doesn't clump up or have pools of fat in the sauce. Same with margarine, great for baking, terrible for any other alternative use of butter.

What? Why would you not use real cheese instead of velveeta, and why wouldn't you use real butter in baking instead of margarine?

You literally can't buy Velveeta or any Velveeta like product in Australia and I've never thought to myself "You know what, I wish this cheese was easier to melt and also, not actually cheese."

I'm this person, though not literally. I'm not your IRL friend. A lot of raw fruit gives me digestive murder in the same way as lactose intolerance. Allegedly it has to do with the fructose concentration which is harder to digest than glucose and if you don't have the proper enzyme you don't digest it, but your gut bacteria does just as it does with lactose. Both are sugars that are a step above the absolute simplest which is glucose. So you get the same discomfort as lactose intolerance because it's essentially the same thing. Cooking fruit breaks down the fructose into glucose for you. Apples have incredibly high fructose concentration so they're often the worst fruit for a person whose liver doesn't produce the proper enzyme. Or at least that's what I'm told.

And yes, I am both lactose and fructose intolerant. My liver is garbage.

I'm sucrose intolerant, anything with sugar in it murders my guts. Same side effects as lactose intolerance. I didn't know fructose intolerance was a thing but it makes sense.

This is ABV, weed that's already been through a vaporizer and has active THC in it, and when you're dankrupt a common trick is to cook with it or make extracts. If your real lazy you can just eat it as is.

It has the texture of crunchy sand, almost always has ash in it and is as dry as the Sahara. It's goddamn horrible.

Still, gets you baked for sure, so YMMV.

If you want to be depressed, until very recently Subway was by far the best sandwich you could get in my part of China and it was a special treat to go there occasionally. It was also impossible to buy bread worth eating and cold cuts didn't exist so you couldn't just make sandwiches at home that were worth a poo poo unless you did literally every part of it from scratch, including curing your own meat.

This is, fortunately, no longer true. It's still one of the better sandwich choices, superior to any of the local/Korean places, but there are a few real sandwich shops now.

Sounds like my part of Guangzhou 10 years ago.

It's the Australian way. BBQ Snag, piece of wonder white bread, probably buttered, with tomato sauce and onions.

A dude was going to get a $9000 fine for sending a drone with cash to pick one up at his local Bunnings and people were upset, labelling it a clearly unAustralian fine, they're a serious icon.

Looks like pizza, smells like pizza, taste? A very ordinary frozen pizza. The gherkin is quite nice and a nice crust. Can't taste anything off about the sauce. Would buy when on special.
