webmeister posted:We basically only get Tex-Mex food here. I spent a few months in Mexico last year (2022) and was surprised at just how different everything was. For example, we don't have corn tortillas at all (you can sometimes find them, but they're specialty products aimed at coeliacs). There aren't many actual authentic Mexican restaurants around, there's a handful of Taco Bell outlets (have never eaten there either here or in the US so I can't tell you how it compares), and there's an upmarket chain called Guzman y Gomez that's kinda similar to Chipotle. (TW: Mexican food, Australian culture) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6UG89CA9TA&t=37s I felt so seen watching this. Both my parents are Poms, so somehow that seems to make it worse.

I feel like I'm being gaslighted. I've never heard of a quandong before, and definitely never saw that flavour in a store. Maybe it's a regional thing. Like blue heaven.

Carlos Lantana posted:the 180b, like the daddo 1600 were really fun, chuckable and cheap My ex had a Datsun 1600 that she got as her first car back in the mid 90's. She was gifted it by her granddad who had bought it new. She sold it a few years back, so hopefully it's either with a collector or getting hot rodded somewhere. It was a pretty sweet car.

I've noted that you often get the option of Season All as well as chicken salt down here. Is that a Tassie thing, or do other states do that? I don't remember ever seeing it in Victoria in my pre-outlaw life.

In fairness, noone had pried the cup out of the hands of the New York Yacht club for a hundred and thirty odd years, and the hoohah about the winged keel was pretty interesting. It also gave us the boxing kangaroo flag - whether that has been a curse or blessing, only time will tell.

I saw it at the Coburg Drive-in as part of a New Years Eve marathon: The Mask, Muriel's Wedding, Priscilla: Queen of the Desert and... Bad Boy Bubby. Love to know who picked that list. A lot of cars left during that. And there was a fire spreading a few hundred metres behind the screen - no idea what that was about.
