I think spearmint milk has to be one of the most disgusting concoctions you Aussies have ever come up with
Is there a whole range of milk flavors in Oz?
"Disolve 1 envelope Knox's gelatine in water. Mix in mayonnaise. Pour into mold. Let partially set. Stir in cooked chopped chicken, chopped celery, and chopped carrots. Let set." One concluded with, "slice and serve on Wonder Bread with mayonnaise."
Yet ANOTHER righteous reason for the civil rights movement. We could NOT leave those people in charge of everything.
Another recipe from those magazines was "Man-Style Macaroni." It was basically macaroni and cheese, but it had several hot dogs sliced in half lengthwise and laid on top, and one hot dog stuck into the middle, pointing straight up, with a little flag on a toothpick stuck in the end. It was from an ad for cheese, I think, and the ad copy read something like, "A macaroni dish even the men and boys in your life will love!" In addition to the picture of the macaroni, there was a picture of a guy with a fork in his mouth and a huge grin.
I've been amusing myself on lileks.com most of the afternoon.
Weiners make food macho.
Kate P. I'm taping and I'm sure we'll be able to sort out a viewing - maybe in exchange for a peek at a certain tattoo ;)
Woohoo! Thanks, plasmo!

Yup: chocolate, strawberry, coffee, banana, and spearmint... am I forgetting any?
So, what's the American dish that unAmericans utterly fail to get the point of?
Oh my God, where do I start? Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Oreos? (They taste like charcoal.) Crackers with soup?
Kate, I am most certainly taping Buffy and Angel, so you and I and Plasmo will in one way or another manage to get together for a viewing (among other fun things of course!)
I've never heard of Spearmint Milk in my life. It must be a Perth thing. It sounds disgusting.
OK, though I don't eat them often, I do love PB&J. And don't get how you can not get it. But...crackers with soup? What's not to understand about that???
Oreos?
The point of Oreos is not the taste. The point is twisting them.
Australians don't eat crackers with soup? Chowder just seems un-chowdery to me without them.
I've tried banana milk before. It was OK, but I couldn't figure out where it fit into a meal or snack. It was too sweet to drink with the meal, but it seemed weird with dessert, and I can't see having it as a snack. But my eating habits with respect to sweet foods tend to be very odd, so probably no one else would have this problem.
I maintain that the worst recipe of all time, anywhere on earth, is the "salad" made of lemon jello and corned beef.
That sounds truly vile. Here's one to match it, urk for urk: banana & anchovy salad. It came from a recipe book for bananas. Take banana, cut in half lengthwise. Put anchony on banana. Serve.
What do you eat crackers with?
