They used to be called Big Boss Cigars when I was a kid, which I feel is 100% appropriate for Australia at the time (early 90's). Pretty clever to remarket it as candy dynamite sticks instead IMO.

edit: Oh yeah that reminds me, we have these:



No joke, when I was a kid if you got caught eating these you'd be mercilessly teased for exactly what you would expect. Australia was reaaaaaaaaally homophobic back then (and still is).

They do taste like perfume but you should have grown up with them in the lolly bag sold by the tuck shop at the sports oval and thus have a fond memory of those pink atrocities.

Oh man you just reminded me, my mum volunteered at the tuckshop at my primary school from year 5 to 7 and it was the loving best thing ever being able to skip the long lines and walk right up the exitway to the counter, and just pick out whatever I wanted for free. Needless to say, the look I got from the people in line was hilarious. Suck it non-tuckshop-mum-havers.

Harold Holt is pretty Australian.

A sitting Prime Minister, who goes for a swim and is never seen again. Did he drown, or was he taken by the Chinese in a midget submarine? (He probably drowned.)

Anyway, the best way we could think of to commemorate him was to name a public pool after him. That's right a swimming pool named after a famous drowning victim. In Glen Iris.

Wollongong is a strange place, seems every major city has a coastal satellite city that's a white trash suburban wasteland based around blue-collar industry and nice beaches that's accessible by train (See: Geelong, Mandurah, Adelaide)

You can walk into one pub and get beaten up by surfies, another and get beaten up by uni students, then another to get beaten up by bogans, but you can absolutely top it off by heading to Port Kembla and getting a barstool wrapped around your head by a steelworker under the glow of the Lysaghts fires.

Welcome to the 'Gong. Live the dream.




I lived in Wollongong for a while when I was a kid. I can't remember anything about it, it has been fully struck from my mental records. Now I feel like I've missed out.

Good quality butcher's mince is the key to getting a rich, meaty flavour. When it's brown add finely chopped onions and herbs. Mixed herbs are fine or you can add your favourite herbs, but thyme is essential as is plenty of black pepper.

Don't add any liquid until the onion is soft. You can add either stock or shepherd's pie mix, but you only want about a cup of fluid. I add a couple of teaspoons is steak sauce at this stage but you can use tomato sauce or Worcestershire sauce.

Simmer it for about 30 minutes, making sure you break up any clumps of meat. There shouldn't be much liquid left. Add a little flour or gravy mix to thicken it.

Use homemade shortcrust pastry for the base and blind bake it. Frozen shortcrust is tough and disgusting. Frozen puff is OK for the top.

Bah Humbug!

"good quality mince"? Get hosed. The appeal of a meat pie is that it is chopped up offal in generic brown gravy. The "good quality" artisan meat pie you are describing sounds delicious, but it is not a meat pie.

A meat pie is something you buy at the footy and slather in tomato sauce whilst you sit in the rain and watch your team lose to an interstate side.

Edit: I just thought of another Australian only food. - Burger Rings. I haven't had a packet of these since school.
