Spoon full of Vegemite? Give that lady citizenship now.
Yeah, I don’t think I could pass that citizenship test 😂
Is Pavlova Really This Good? Yes. Yes, it is.
Nah, it's better.
@@fasteddie9201 agreed
Has to be homemade pav not Stowe horrible store bought with a hard base
There is more than one type of pumpkin , nothing better than roasted Queensland Blue Pumpkin, or slow cooked in the Weber !
A jap pumpkin is not bad. Meaning just a pumpkin, not a japanese one.
@@kathleenmayhorne3183no way is that what jap stands for?! I never knew that - I honestly thought it was a Japanese pumpkin 🤣
@@Dr_KAP Japanese pumpkins have slanted eyes 🤣
@@kathleenmayhorne3183 Jap Pumpkin is also called Kent Pumpkin. It is not an abbreviation for Just a Pumpkin.
A roast dinner without roast pumping is not a dinner ,and we call pumpkins pumpkins, squash is a whole other vegetable which is also fantastic roasted . Pavlova is an Australian desert despite New Zealanders trying to claim it (everyone knows they can't cook any better than they play cricket) it's made by baking a meringue base that ends up crispy on the outside and soft in the middle ,its then topped with whipped cream and the fresh fruit of your choice some people then dribble melted chocolate or fruit syrups over the top,sorry I've just made myself hungry I'm off for a snack , check ya later .
Just keep perpetuating the Pav big lie.😂 Just like it goes in one our a TV ads from a few years back, Aussies are always steeling out stuff.
We don't underarm cook.
As an Aussie, I think the evidence does now point to pavlova originating from a NZ recipe. Sad but true.
I'm surprised they didn't comment on the typical hamburger you get from a fish and chip shop. It's not just a burger in a bun. It is loaded with pretty much everything your doctor warned you about plus a bit of lettuce, tomato, and beetroot (you call them "beets") to take the guilt away. You usually need the ability to dislocate your jaw to get your mouth around it and will probably need a shower and change of clothes after because of the mess they make as they disintegrate while you try to eat them.
Man, now I want a burger 🤤
Yes and steak Burgers. Yummo
Ooh you know what I have noticed as well? A lot of US burgers I see online use Brioche buns?????? Like a sweet bun? Oh hell no....... toasted plain white sesame buns or as I prefer a toasted wholemeal bun... is the BEST for burgers..... man, the amount of sugary crap in the USA is staggering... and yeah, lunch today was two chicken strips, cheese, beetroot, home made pickled cucumber, tomato, lettuce, hot chilli sauce mixed with mustard, on two slices of toasted wholegrain bread.... damn it was nice.....
Gotta go for the “Works burger” if you want a messy feed
@SlingShot the greasy fried egg and bacon were a part of the stuff your doctor warned you about. The pineapple is similar to the pineapple on a pizza - very much a contentious issue.
The cheese makes the Vegemite taste less harsh so don't knock those Vegemite scrolls. They are a really good ice breaker if you have never tried Vegemite.
The cookies u like are the Byron Bay Cookie Bites, and Pavlova is a large soft baked meringue made from egg whites and sugar, that gets a hard crust shell when cooked. Usually served with cream and either fruit or chocolate on top
I think our fish and chips is better than in the USA because we're such a coastal country - all the fish is fresh and usually locally caught. Plus we have stricter fishing and farming laws, meaning they aren't loaded with hormones, drugs and GMOs.
Also pumpkin soup is fucking delicious. Super easy to make too. You can have it with fresh bread or even chicken nuggets. I'm not sure how it would be given that US produce is apparently less flavoursome than ours here in Aus, but you could give it a shot:
*Ingredients*
750g butternut pumpkin
3 large white potatoes
2 brown onions
3 chicken stock cubes
1 cup thick cream (whipped cream, not sweetened)
10 cups water
Dash of salt and pepper
*Instructions*
1. Peel and cut pumpkin and potatoes into small chunks/cubes
2. Place in large bot with water, heat until starts to boil, then lower temp to simmer
3. Dice onion and add to pot
4. Blend veges until mostly smooth
5. Add stock cubes and extra cup of water if too thick
6. Stir pot, adding salt and pepper to soup
7. Leave on heat for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it's smooth
8. Turn heat to low and allow to sit for 2 mins before adding cup of cream
9. Stir until uniform in colour and consistency
10. Remove from heat and serve
Pavlova is my favourit dessert. Its sweet and often tart (due to the fruit) and also light so even if you are full there is always room for a little pavlova.
You can have whatever you want on your pavlova. Some people put shaved chocolate on theirs.
@@kevkoala I do know that...
@@joandsarah77 I know you do but American's don't.
There’s always room in the “ yummy tummy “ !
Also the quality of vegetables in Australia is much better than what I had in America so I wouldn't knock it until you come to Australia and try our local produce.
Pumpkin Soup is so good on a cold winters day
Pumpkin Soup. 👍👍So easy to make and delicious.
Squash is such a non-descript term for a range of vegetables.
Lemon Lime and Bitters The bitters is Angostura Bitters
Given how sweet Pavlova is, I am surprised that it has not been heard of in the US.
No, us Aussies use vegemite sparingly. Its the tourists which pile it on and then wonder why it then tastes awful, it would taste awful to most of us too.
This makes me soo proud to be an Aussie, we absolutely love god tier food and we tend to have some of the freshest verisons of the best foods from around the world here, all meeting the Australian standard which is one of the best food standards in the world.... Mm mmm
My mother loved baking, puddings, cakes, slices, biscuits, roast meat, I really enjoyed helping her with Pavlova's! I am allergic to eggs, but I miss them so much! Freshly whipped eggwhite baked then topped with fresh fruit and fresh whipped vanilla cream - scooped passionfruit, peaches, raspberries or strawberries, kiwi fruit slices! 😋 Bundaberg Ginger Beer! 💕 Fresh Fish and Chips, any seafood, go to Tasmania! 🤗 Learn to taste real food, without chemicals, America! 😄
The chicken feotus is phillopine cusine. But that's the joy of Aus. An amalgamation of culture and very fresh fruit n veg and meat.
The best fruit on top of pavlova are passionfruit...kiwi fruit...strawberries..peaches slices...pineapple pieces
Pavlova is a meringue. In Australia we do it as the size of a large round cake. Its a special occasion dessert. It feels solid but goes crumbly when you cut it on outside but it's sorta melted and chewy in the middle. Put thickened cream on top and chopped fruit, we usually do passionfruit pulp, strawberries or peaches. Cut it like a round cake aswell. I believe your meringue is like small solid muffins or biscuits( size of inner hand).
I am Australian, and in my 67 years I have never liked vegemite. It is not universally loved. But pavlova is divine.
Great reaction. It’s good to see what people visiting Australia like and what they think is different. I am Australian and enjoyed the feedback so thankyou
Kangaroo is a very lean meat and tastes a bit gamey. I'm not a big fan but I haven't a lot of it, it's more pet food to me. We even eat the other animal on our coat of arms, the emu.
Pumpkin soup is really tasty, it's a thick soup, I think you'd really like it, it's great on a cold winters day. Pavlova is the bomb, my favorite dessert by far, cream on top with fruit like peaches, passionfruit, strawberries, kiwifruit. Vegemite, it's an acquired taste, they are right, for newbies a very thin scraping on well buttered toast.
Really interesting, thanks! Shrimp and prawns are two very different animals. We don't call shrimp prawns, we call prawns prawns and shrimp shrimp. I've never seen the foods the last guy mentions.
Ginger ale is watered down ginger beer, a proper ginger beer like Bundaberg you can't see through.
yeah Balut is a Phillipines thing, didnt even know you could find it in Australia. (I'll respectfully decline lol)
A shrimp is under an inch for the whole thing. The phrase was insisted on for that ad, just to make you americans happy. The king prawn Hoges was holding up was a joke, that size would never be called a shrimp.
A pav is a meringue like thing, a meringue is hard right through, it uses the same ingredients, but very different techniques. Often the fruit on a pav is seasonal fruit berries, kiwifruit and passionfruit. Not often seeing apples oranges or pears. You can cut the base with any spoon, very unlike a meringue. Who cares whether the chef who invented it in aus was a kiwi? It is delicious.
Kangaroo is very lean meat. Has a gamey smell, needs a quick cook to avoid toughness. Not everybody eats it, your choice.
Aussie F&C and chicken salt are our take on it. The fries are double fried, using the right temperature on the oil, makes them much less greasy, the thick chips are not soggy, but crunchy outside and cloud soft inside. Fish comes in batter, crumbs or naked and grilled, your choice.
Lemon(ade) soft drink, lime juice cordial, and angostura bitters from the pub. Is a pub drink with nearly no alcohol, so popular it is now bottled for sale. I make it myself, at home, the bitters can be too prominent in bottled styles for me. Lemonade is an actual citrus, very different from lemons, not bitter at all.
Try your mart of walls for tim-tams and bundy Ginger beer. Try a float with ginger beer.
Those tentacles were more likely to be huge octapus or tiny from cuttle fish, which gives us calamari rings as well.
yes, pavlova is really that good
Pavlova is meringue approximately two to four inches deep with a topping of whipped cream, fruit like strawberries or kiwi. An alternate topping over the cream might be cherries and chocolate . Soooo goood.
'What food is like in Australia'....................................Really does say a lot about America's view of the world.
He even mentioned lemon lime and bitters. Sooooo goood. You need to make sure you put the bitters around the glass tho, you can’t have too much!
not just any American’s but returned Mormon missionaries to the USA. They don’t have much allowance so Mormon missionaries diets tend to revolve mostly around what Members feed them and that varies according to the area they are in. Most Mormon events revolve around food. The one mentioning durian fruit is spot on, it’s considered the worlds stinkiest fruit. It’s so bad, it’s banned in some public places.
Lemon lime and bitters with vodka is the go to if you want something at the bar, pub or bottlo, delightful and refreshing
Baked Veges are the best - Pumpkin is Pumpkin, Sweet Potato is Sweet Potato - Squash is Squash. All beans or Peas & with a Roast Pork, Roast Beef or Roast Lamb & you have a bloody perfect meal. Pan Juice Gravy with flour & you have the best Sunday Dinner. Asian & European Foods here tend to be more HOME COOKING as the Ethnic Food & Asian Food was very oily / greasy in the USA.
Greeks make the best kebab. They call it souvlaki. Delicious. Also Yiros. Yummy.
The thing about Australia is that it's a melting pot of cultures. We are one of the most diverse countries in the world and have food from peoples all over the world. Most European foods can be found in some form or another in Australia, most Asian foods as well, South American/African is about the only area where we might be a little lacking but there is still a fair amount of that too.
Had laksa for lunch. Might go for Japanese chicken bento tomorrow, or a kebab, who knows!
Had Pho for breakfast/lunch. Still full so Ive skipped dinner. We have a vietnamese restaurant in Brissy called Pho Queue. How cool is that name lol.
@@mattp6089 Its been ages since ive had a kebab, my kebab store is next to a japanese takeaway, the noodles win every time!!
Had Mexican and Spanish the other day in Sydney. Life is good
Marmite is BRITISH....and YUKKY
I love vegemite ..small amounts on buttered toast or crumpets
It's interesting that people say they hate Vegemite, but love chicken salt. Chicken salt is essentially plain salt, which enhances flavour, and powdered chicken stock, giving it a "umami" taste (savoury, or more-ish). If you were to eat a tablespoon full of chicken stock, you'd rightly say it tasted awful and overpowering. But in the right proportion and combination, it is delicious. Same as Vegemite. Would you eat a raw beef stock cube? No, same overpowering flavour, though it is still a umami taste. Same with Vegemite. The trick is to just use a smear of it, just enough to get a slight salty taste, while still being able to taste the underlying stock flavour (it's actually a vegetable by-product, not beef). I believe it comes from yeast used in making beer. THEN when you get used to it or more adventurous, you can try a higher concentration. It makes it easier when you start to include a slice of processed cheese, it will make the taste more mellow. They actually sell pre-mixed jars of Cheesy-bite for just that purpose (Vegemite and cream cheese).
With pavlova, there is a friendly dispute as to whether it is Australian or New Zealand's invention. It is firmly whisked egg whites which is lightly baked, leaving the outside merangue crust, but the center is more gooey like marshmallow. Then fill with whipped cream and top with fruits. You can think of it as an inverted Baked Alaska without the ice cream. The type of merangue used is originally French, but there are also Italian and Swiss versions. Most of them are firm all the way through.
Pavlova is very sweet so even if you have a sweet tooth you might find it too sweet,but give it a go who knows,try a curry meat pie they're really nice,Michelle's Pastiserie is where you'll find a tasty one.
Pavlova - whisked egg white (think meringue) but soft covered in whipped cream, and fruits like berries and passionfruit. Mostly eaten in warmer months. Staple at any family xmas, along with trifle.
Kangaroo is like venison, must be eaten / cooked near raw - think medium-rare in a steak.
We don’t eat unhatched ducks in Australia!
No. What the hell third world crap is that !
guy at the end was confused with Asian fruits......Durian, bitter melon ect
they are not Australian
Nah, just mentioning the different cusines there. You can get most of those things at your local (if you have one) asian markets, though if you want them- although some woolies have durian and bitter melon, just depends on your location.
They are sold in Darwin at the markets!
@@jenniferharrison8915 Durian is sold in some supermarkets here in Melbourne as well. ( I've been warned about it tho, so it's a no from me!)
Pavlova is made from meringue and decorated with piped cream and fresh fruits; usually passionfruit pulp, covered with strawberries, kiwi fruit, blueberries, sliced banana and raspberries. You can also get it as a log, or in individual shells.
Some things are exclusive to certain States and regions. I'm originally from South Australia but live in Victoria and I've tipped people to try a Balfours Frog Cake and a Kitchener Bun. Unknown outside of SA and yep everyone who's tried them have asked why they're only limited to there. A Pie Floater is also a favourite but not sure if it's available anymore since the Pie Carts stopped operating in Adelaide. When in Adelaide there's a seafood restaurant chain called Barnacle Bills and it's so consistently brilliant and hasn't changed since I was a kid, I'm 53 now and it's always at least a stop in for a feed when I'm back in the old grounds. Port Adelaide forever!
Durian is known as the king of fruits. It stinks!!! But once you overcome the smell, oh boy! Creamy, custardy, sweet heaven! And once you've had the experience, the smell is actually inviting.
What the hell is corjule? I think he might of meant cordial. Cordial is amazing
and to explain how to pronounce Cordial as an Australian "CORE-DEE-AL"
Pav is S-tier when done right.
Pavlova is meringue. Egg white and sugar whipped until it screams, then baked on a tray in approximately the shape and size of a round cake, then cooled. Then you top it with whipped cream and fruit like passionfruit, kiwifruit, banana, berries, some sort of melon or other, whatever you like here really so long as it is colourful!
Shrimp and prawns are actually different critters. Prawns are typically larger so we'll still often talk about a shrimp cocktail that has little shrimp in it, but prawns at other times.
Pavlova (Pav) is DELICIOUS. It’s a firm meringue on the outside, and almost marshmallow-y on the inside? But a lot softer/fluffier and does dissolve in your mouth. Topped with whipped cream and seasonal fruit - very typical Christmas dessert, but it’s so good I would always request for a birthday cake. 😄
I used to eat a spoonful of vegemite to get out of school. A spoonful makes you vomit. Vegemite needs butter or cheese to tame it down. I love it
Pavs are like a meringue but with vinegar so the inside somehow goes gooey yet stays fluffy and light so it all just melts in your mouth.
Roo is just like she said. Strong beef venison and very lean
Bunderburg also make rum.
You like the byron bay cookies.....wait until you try their brownies lol
Vegemite is good with a tiny amount with melted cheese, it gives it a nice sally taste. . I'm not a fan of pavlova its no sweet for me. But lots of people love it.
Yep,butter and a thin spread of Vegemite..try Vegemite on toast, with avocado, a squeeze of lemon or lime...a taste sensation
Diversity works a treat when everyone is respectful of each other
Note for Americans cream is like thick milk not weird canned stuff
"Ya'll got another one" 😂
Pavalova, is like, what you would call cotton candy, but hard on the outside and soft in the centre, topped with strawberries, kiwi fruit, blueberries etc sitting on top of whipped cream.😋
Pavlova is basically marshmallow that forms a thin , hard , brittle shell ...... and is yummy inside.
You add anything to it.....fruit, passion fruit as a sauce, make some caramel as a sauce and add bananas, or pineapple...... whatever you want, but NEVER sauce from a can or bottle......always make your own topping and sauces or go to McDonalds.
If you are too lazy to cook or prepare, then pay too much to eat unhealthy, sterilised pulp...... or eat tinned spaghetti from a can, or maybe baked beans..... or shyte on toast, that’s easy and cheap.
It comes down to a couple of things . The varied cuisines from all over the world from European to Asian . Then there are the incredibly fresh and high quality products grown locally. We also have extremely highly trained chefs and most people can do basic cooking at home to with those fresh ingredients. Australia has picked the best foods and dishes from all over the world. Something she missed is the Aussie Sponge cake made by old ladies . Its as good as pavlova or better depending on the skill of the old lady.
You should do a reaction to GrazeLands in Melbourne to see how varied the food can be.
Pumpkin soup is the bomb 💣
Chicken Salt.
It will change your life.
This made me drool. I haven’t had a kebab in ages. never put veggies on there tho. Tomato is a fruit! Pavlova is still a fight NZ/OZ honey & butter on carrot. Got great diverse food here.
GDAY..COLES ( supermarket chain )…sells VEGEMITE ..BASTED HOT COOKED CHOOKS…..WHAT A CULINARY SURPRISE..
Vegemite is best under sliced tomato or grilled cheese on toast.
OH no, we are busted..... Thats how we recruit new Aussies with the Vegemite.
Both Australia and New Zeland claim the pavlova as their national desert. The debate was finly setteled An Australian sheff was living in NZ at the time and he came up with the pavlova while in NZ
You're not a fan of veggies or seafood? You're my kind of person. 😆
I moved to Australia over 20 years ago from Scotland so Christmas day food took a little bit of getting used to.
Yes the prawns are there and salads but a lot of the other stuff we do would be sliced cooked ham and a BBQ chicken ripped up. Then get some boomer/vienna bread sliced thick, butter it up and slap that meat on it with cheese, coleslaw or whatever you want or nothing. Delicious. And when its stinking hot, it really works. You do not want a hot meal at Christmas when your brain is melting. 👍
Also has the benefit that it's dead easy to setup.
Vegemite is like a savoury vanilla essence....... too much might kill you, but just a drop or smear can taste like heaven.
Kiwi Fish 'n' Chips is Da Bomb. Then there is the argument of who invented Pavlova, Kiwi's or Aussie's? As a Kiwi......well go figure.Kangaroo is like a lean rich flavor meat, kangaroos maybe a national emblem but we've got billions of them, Emu, another national emblem, meh, strong, dark, bit tough. Crocodile chunky fish/chicken, mild flavor. Certainly not endangered. We consider shrimp as tiny things. Meat pies, bacon 'n' egg pies Yum-as, da best. Marmite is Kiwi. Vegemite, start with a smidge of a smear. Cordial, pronounced Cord-dee-all. Your biscuits are our scones. CrankyGranny Western Australia
Take 1 fresh as shell roll ..add butter Vegemite and a potato cake, a potato scallop of your a banana bender A taste sensation.
Baby's dummys '' Pacifier '' are dipped in Vegemite ,that is where we acquire our taste for it
Sorry, the Tim Tam slam must be done with coffee, not Milo!!
I think these guys are returning church of later day saints missionary and would not drink coffee.
Hey mate,just for the record,us Aussies don't eat those eggs. Sounds hideous
Pavlova and Christmas , go hand in hand
Shrimp and prawns are actually two different species they are not the same animal
Bundaberg Rum is the best but their variety of soft drinks are top shelf
damn saw pavlova in the thumbnail..... and now damn..... I'm craving a pav.... lmao..... I'll make my own.... so good..... and mate.... frankly, yeah I grew up with a mum who boiled the crap out of veges and they tasted like water...... but I learned how to cook and honestly, my veges rock :D Agree with you though... I love vegemite but a vegemite scroll is disgusting to me...... that is just tragic......
Hi Neal!!, You know what, I've seen people, on TV, give American's Vegemite , the way I've seen it done is not the way most of us have it. Firstly, you need to have margarine, us Aussies aren't that game, Vegemite needs margarine, also they spread it too thick!!, A light coating of it is better, we're tough, don't get me wrong, but we are not suicidal, they need to calm down the amount and method of execution. Much love and kindness always Tracie from Australia ❤
It's Mormon time!
Aussie fish and chips are the best it's a lot to do with the oil. It gets cleaned regularly it must be hot. We do beer batter too.
Nope kiwi fish and chips are better
Pavlova= sugar and whipped egg whites basically
We don’t have a lot of South American food here cause we don’t have many South American people living here
Chocolate is fine but not Cadburys, unless it's their upmarket high Cacoa chocolates, .LIndt is the best here particulalry round Christmas when all Lindt is half price.Ginger beer will sting you if it is good better than ginger ale which is dry by comparison .Christmas day these days we have prawns, lobsters, fish, salads, Ham on the bone, balmain bugs, calamari , Mussels, Scallops . Avocado, Pineapple, Mangoes ,strawberries,lichee, etc etc etc
Aussie here, I dont really like Kangaroo, I do like Buffalo though thats the best. I think the main difference between aussie food and american food is how much sugar is in american food. Even the bread is sweet there and the butter is whitish.. whats with that???? When I was in the states I gave a horse a piece of bread with butter and vegemite on it.. The reaction was hilarious.. the horse stomped that piece of bread in the ground and was neighing as he did it.
Personally I think cadbury chocolate is not soo good, the chocolate from aldi is way better.
A kebab is your taste buds going to heaven , chicken, beef or felafel , it’s yum yum yum , tabouli , garlic or chilli sauce , homuss , lettuce , tomato, cheese if you want , pick and choose what’s inside your kebab, it’s easy and very sought after a big night out . 😋
Pavlova you fill it with fruit and cream
Pumpkin soup mate with a dollop of sour cream, it’s divine , pea and ham soup , you will loose your mind 😊
The Pavlova is from new zealand
By my count, Vegemite won hands down. There was only one “weirdo” in that video who didn’t like it. Two if you count Neal.😊
A bit of roast veg does you good. And roast beef to.
Pavlova and champagne with strawberries: Heaven
I don't know what that last guy was talking about but he didn't eat anything Australian from that interview!!
My wife is a Filipina and we've been together for 10 years and I have never and i think i will never eat balut!
Bundaberg gingerbeer and rum yum
😋
Yes yes and yes... It's that good
I love Vegemite but I would never, ever eat it by the spoonful like Nutella.
As Australia is in the Asian Pacific most of our Asian restaurants have to be top quality.
Infact in many cases better than Asia, because our cattle and fresh produce is far superior to that of most of Asia, the meat and vegetables in the dishes just taste more fresh and flavoursome.
Cookie dough bites in a round ball???? Could that be Maltesers?? Come in a red packet. We have them by the box full. They come in 190g, also 400g box. On special for $6. Can't help myself.
I'm sorry you've been scarred by Vegemite mate, glad you still love us.
Pavlova is common in the US and Canada.
Lol no
@@londonbeatz It is where we are in Canada
@@pvdogs2 still not a common thing
You should try "Cascade Ginger Beer" - much better!
Ginger Beer isn't Ginger Ale. What millionaires was she staying with that could afford to eat meat a lot? We don't call squash "pumpkin". We have both squashes and pumpkins of several varieties.
