[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Interesting Aussie Food Things...., Is it just me?

Okay:

1. You could get bags of pancakes on the shelf next to the loaves of bread. They were just sitting there at room temperature (not that I'm a stickler for food preparation).

2. They had a version of Hardees called Hungry Jacks (I think that was the name). Anyway, they put sugar beets on top of hamburgers instead of pickles.

3. You could get a fried egg on a hamburger, too. This was on Hungry Jacks' Aussie Burger.

4. McDonald's had espresso bars. Not at the regular counter, but in a kiosk thing in the dining area.

5. Australians have different names for sizes/types of coffee. For the life of me, I can't remember the names, though.

1. Yes you can get pikelets at room temperature stright from the shelf near the bread. I didnt think it was that big a deal. People usually put jam (what you guys jelly) and cream on them

2. Hungry Jacks is actualy a division of Burger King in the states... unless it has changed its name to Hardees. I know this for a fact because I had a friend who worked there through school.

Also I have no fucking idea what a sugar beet is and have ever seen one on a burger... we have pickles here too bleieve it or not! if you mean beetroot yes some burgers have them but I hate beetroot!

3. Yes many corber stores and even the big chained fast food restaraunts offer egg on some burgers... we love eggs on burgers, even pineapple!

4. with the amount of McDonalds in Australia they ALL now have quality coffee bars the call Mc Cafe. This was done to combat the growing market for quality coffee especially in Sydney and melbourne and the instant shit Maccas used to dish up wasn't making the cut anymore and they were losing busniess

5. It seems common that we go by different sizes but names? our large is usually your small. Having seen Supersize Me I can't believe the portions you guys consume... its crazy! The largest coffee/coke we can buy here is the smallest one available over there.

As for names I thought a latte, cappucino, expresso, short back, flat white were the same worldwide

WOW it is so funny the differances that happen in other Westernized countries. The language is the same right?? I mean being English that is??

We cook pancakes usually put butter and syrup on them. It is still Burger Kind there are Hardees chains as well though usually I seen them in the midwest. Have no idea what a corber store is We have espresso stands pretty much on EVERY corner here where I live Star bucks every few blocks. The portions would explain why so many americans are obese even kids now it is ABSURD!!!!!!
