Oh you need beetroot on a burger it just makes it so delicious. I’m an Aussie married to a Canadian and living in Canada. We only wear sunscreen in the summer and then some people still never put their sunscreen on.
I dated an Australian and ended up marrying him…lol. You are so right about the burgers especially. I love how they put ie or y on the end of words like lollies for candy, sunnies for sunglasses and breaking for breakfast….so fun
I'm an Australian. I rarely drink. I don't go the shops barefoot. I've never seen anyone do a shoey. When an American is in Australia, they have thick accents, not us. But beetroot on hamburgers is essential and a tub of Vegemite wouldn't go astray.
Is beetroot on burgers a NSW or QLD thing. I'm in Victoria. I've ordered hamburger with the lot. They never once put beetroot on it unless you ask for it. I went to havey Bay QLD to visit my brother several years ago and they added beetroot and pineapple on the burger. I took it back and told them to make another one without pineapple and beetroot. I thought that was really strange too. It must be only some states that does that. As here in Victoria they don't
Hi! Australian here. I love how you correctly use Australian slang and words in your sentences. It sounds so natural! From having lived in American for a little bit and always watching some American youtubers (and returning in early 2022!) I found that American use seasoning in their cooking a lot more than most Australians do. The egg and beetroot on burgers seems to be a lot more common with the older generation, but I wouldn't say no to either of them if I was in the mood for it at the time. Good luck on your move (especially at the moment)!
I've ordered hamburger with the lot many times. I've never had beetroot or pineapple on it unless you ask for it. Although I've noticed in QLD they add beetroot. I thought that was strange. I'm from Victoria
I had never heard of a "shoey" before about 2 years ago and I come from an aussie occupation which has a drinking culture! It seems a relatively modern thing here, and exactly as you say, almost no-one who has progressed past their teens actually does it. When my American brother in law came out here for the first time I took him to a local store which made fantastic burgers. He asked for one "no egg, no beetroot, no onion, no tomato". The cook replied "so you just want meat on a bread roll?" 😂 It's unpatriotic not to have beetroot on a burger here. 😉
That's not true. Unpatriotic to have no beetroot on burgers in Australia. Seriously mate. I'm Aussie descendants from the first fleet settlers not every Aussie have beetroot put on their burgers. You fabricated crap with that statement you made.. and I have never hurd of the phrase Shoey either. Although a lot of slang isn't practce in my home..
There is no reason why we love the Nutbush dance. It seems to get everyone up on the dancefloor whether you can dance or not. There is one thing I do know, Tina Turner was an icon here in the eighties, and we embraced her to the point that her song "Simply the Best" was used in advertising the Footy "Rugby League" season.
Yes, appearing in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and the subsequent success of the song 'We Don't Need Another Hero' almost made her Australian by adoption.
the nut bush was required learning , teachers taught us to do it for school socials , we would all be in a square and just follow the lead of our teachers , and in my day they all wore mini skirts .
In the footy bit it was " Simple at best " but otherwise... She didn't do herself any favours with Thunderdome. That movie is not in the canon. Nut bush... Always fun as a DJ to play with the BPM when the crowd have had enough to drink.
I'm a 68 year old granny, and I have to say that the behaviour of Aussies has changed a lot since I was your age. Then we were very polite, didn't swear and only the hippies smoked weed. People drank but really watched their limits. Road deaths advertisements kept people aware of the risks of overindulging. Personally I don't like Vegemite anymore, but I love other similar brands. I have never liked fairy bread even as a kid. And it was a kids' party food. In the 50's and 60's we did run around without much in the way of footwear or clothes in the summer. Our lives were about fresh air and fun, not which brand of dress we wore. We didn't care if we were sunburnt. I still do not use sunscreen except maybe a little on my face. Vit D is an important vitamin and is made in the non sunscreened skin from the sun. People were very healthy back then. We didn't eat much sugar either. We did use a lot of slang or 'strine" which of course was a bring over from our British roots, like the meat pie you mentioned. We were/are basically a shy people, not prone to garish or loud behaviour. But don't take our quiescence for non attentiveness or low intellect. We used to have a brilliant education system based on the 3 Rs and critical thinking, but like many other nations' school systems, it is sadly lacking now. We are a friendly people, until you show us hostility. Then we will let you know in no uncertain terms you are not welcome. Speaking of strange food combinations. When I was 18 I visited the US for about 3 months. I was once given a home made meal at some friends and told it was to be such and such with Jello, which here is jelly. So I looked forward to the main meal with jelly for dessert. You can imagine my surprise when the main meal was presented with the jelly situated wobbling on the same plate lol. It was part of the main course. Another funny incident was after being introduced to some new friends as having come from Australia, one lass complimented me on my good English skills. "You speak good English' she said. A bit stunned I think I went blank for a moment then asked her where she thought Australia was. She thought for a moment then hesitantly replied "South America?" lol
Good job, well presented and close to the mark. I haven’t heard of the shoe being used to consume beer. However it wouldn’t surprise me. Good luck with your travels, your fella is a lucky lad meeting and going out with such a bonza Sheila like yourself.
Beetroot is sweet but earthy , and boosts the vitamin intake on the burger 🍔 it's a unique taste to bite into a burger and getting all of those flavours at once .
We once bought a tin of beetroot in SE Asia, and it was made in the USA. It was a fair bit sweeter than the Australian version, and actually went off in the fridge after a week or so, whereas Australian beetroot keeps for weeks.
Nutbush CL is a Tina Turner song; she is almost an honorary Aussie having been part of a major ad campaign for Rugby League in 1989 (Simply the Best) on TH-cam. Nutbush was also played mercilessly in aerobics gyms for years! It became the drunk party dance for every wedding, party or large gathering.
I rarely use sunscreen, never in winter, autumn. Tho I have bought a hat now i'm a bit older. Rarely use gloves weeding the garden either and yes, we have spiders and snakes where i live. An Australian hamburger is a work of art, you can consider bacon, egg, pineapple as optional But lettuce tomato beetroot fried onions tomato sauce are absolutely essential.
Beetroot and pineapple on burgers? Must be a QLD or NSW thing. I've never seen anyone order beetroot or pineapple or onion rings on a burger in Victoria
I use sunscreen only during Summer when I go to the beach. But during Autumn, Winter, & Spring in Melbourne, Victoria where I live, the sun is quite mild & feels beautiful. It also makes the place look beautiful. Love living here. Beetroot etc in burger (works) is so normal in Australia. I always have vegemite & promite in the pantry; have to get spares early in case you run out.
I would love to see your reaction in another year of being in and around OZ. We treat our burgers as almost a gourmet delicacy. We also have a try anything on the burger attitude......I love the egg, but it has to be sunnyside up with some bacon and lotsa well cooked onions and cheese on a toasted bun (my wife likes brioche buns, I don't) Then mustard and sauce OR BBQ sauce depending on my mood. As for the beetroot, I usually don't like it on a burger. Anyway, we have taken something simple and transformed it to Take away, pub food or a delicacy......Burgers ain't just burgers! There are so many things I would love to hear about in another year....PS we don't spoil good wine or beer by doing a shoey, that was a young racing driver who drank out of his boot and it went viral!!
The burger itself is a gourmet delicacy LOL. One does not need to put all that stuff on it if they love burgers. Trying anything on it sure, but if one loves burgers they will like it just fine without all that AU 'The Lot' on it (not the US 'The Lot' which is salads and usually bacon with cheese). But what really gets me is aussies have no clue what a burger actually is. A chicken burger LMAO, there is no such thing. That would be a chicken patty PLUS the burger with it. Oddly enough every time I order a chicken burger, the burger is always missing and I only get the chicken patty. So it clearly does not exist.
I have an Australian roommate, we live in the USA, and I am originally from Michigan even though we don't live in the state. He had me try vegemite and...eeeew....the good thing is that Michiganders talk very fast and use a lot of slang too so we keep up with each other even though our slang are different. He says that he likes the Michigan accent because it is different from the accent from this state, it is nasally. We also like to shorten our sentences for example I'll say "c'meer" or "dja eat?" I told him that I used to run around in the snow bare foot with a sleevless shirt and shorts back when I lived in Michigan. I like his laid back attitude and it is contagious.
@@TheNakedWombat Fair point.How ever most US burgers I've eaten have Pickle (Gerkin in Oz) on them, which many Strayans find "different". So I hold my ground " If it ain't got beetroot it ain't Stayan" .
@@TheNakedWombat LOL in other words you do not pickle it. Pickling is fermenting the vegetable / fruit so that it is preserved and will store for a long period of time. This can be done via several methods, but all of them cause it to ferment or slightly ferment so that it is preserved. Common methods are done via vinegar, or really any type of acid (aka low PH). Another is using brine / salt which again creates an acid to pickle the vegetable as well as dries it out which also helps to preserve it. Sugar water or sweetened water will not do any of that. What you mean to say is that US and UK use pickled beetroot, while you just have beetroot.
The 'shoey" was the brain child of an Australian Formula One driver, Daniel Riccardo, definitely Bogan. I went for a Sunday morning breakfast in LA, what in Aus we call a 'big breakfast,' fried Bacon, fried tomato, deep fried chips or a potato cake, fried or poached eggs, sausages, and toast. I was horrified when I received my meal on the Santa Monica water front, LA The plate contained fried ham, tomato puree, powdered eggs, crisps and a heated canned hot dog. I laughed left $20.00 on the table and walked out. My experience in the USA was Americans use toppings, sauces to give junk food flavour. In Aussie cafes etc we are usually served fresh foods. with hamburgers, steak sandwiches etc I have never eaten Maccas, Hungry Jacks, or Wendy's so I can not offer an opinion on those outlets Kaitlyn. The bucket of Vegemite blew me out. Hahahaha. You will certainly have heaps of material for your videos. So many differences, yet so much alike also. Keep up the good work.
What you say?? Everybody know we talk proper, depends where we got schuled. Seriously, a shoey? Never heard of it. Beetroot on a burger? Of course! And bare feet was normal for me until the age of about 7. Distances in AUS are commonly given in terms of time, rather than kilometers (or miles). Melbourne to Brisbane is about 20 hours by road, or two and a bit by plane.
Sort of depends on what part of Oz you are talking about. It's a little less common now, mainly due to increased health risks (contaminated needles left in parks and beaches, etc), but it is also less common now for clubs to force dress standards. If you hit the main tourist areas in northern NSW and in Queensland, you will see a lot of barefoots. The centre of Sydney? Not so much.
We absolutely know we can get sunburnt. We have VERY strong sun in Summer due to the earth axes but is much weaker in winter so we dont bother much then. :P Beetroot is salad here So if you have salad on a burger it may be included. For some reason an egg means its "Aussie" flavor. Like pizza. I dont know why. I wear bare feet often in summer Cos I hate thongs. I cant stand the sound they make. Our streets are pretty clean here outside the big cities.
The nut bush thing… we all got taught the “Manhattan” dance at primary school (in the 80’s at least) which we danced to the music “popcorn”. So everyone knew how to do it and it’s an easy one to remember . Later everyone started dancing it to Nutbush City Limits - it has a similar tempo. * we also learnt various country/bush dances, the Pride of Erin, etc.
On the celebrities, more likely in my experience to be Aussie musicians. John Farnham, Jimmie Barnes, AC/DC, Midnight Oil, Sia, Kylie Minogue, Jessica Mauboy, Keith Urban, Slim Dusty, etc).
Skip the pineapple on the burger but the rest is great. Nutbush City Limits goes back to when Tina Turner was establishing herself as a solo artist after she split from Ike. Australia was one of the first places she toured, I know I went and saw he in Perth in our concert hall. She rocked. I was already a fan, after watching her that night, she wowed the place, did several encores and the crowd (it ia only a small concert hall) went nuts. She got the same reaction everywhere she went here, so she kept coming back every so often because she loved the people and their enthusiasm, and Nutbush was a song she always did. It become her Aussie theme song hence the dance was invented. Later I suppose her Aussie theme became Simply The Best, but that was much later. But she loved coming down under as when she was struggling to establish herself, she was so warmly welcomed here and became a legend. That is why she was asked to do Simply the Best as the Rugby League theme and she said yes. By then she was a worldwide headliner, but loved coming down here and never forgot how welcome she was made to feel, which apparently wasn't always the case then in the USA>
Hope you enjoy your time if you come to our country(I'm sure Mark will be happy). As always, things have changed over time. In the 70's as a person just going into my teens, in summer we would walk around in just a par of short, the heat didn't really affect my feet, had more pain from overgrown three corner jack bushes encroaching onto the footpath from peoples lawns. As for sunscreen what the hell was that, we would put tons of coconut oil on, the radio station use to play every 15 mins a little commercial "it's time to turn, so you don't burn", by mid-summer most people hair was two shades lighter and our skin was golden brown(these days I do use sunscreen if I'm working outdoors for more than 1 hour in the summer). My fondest memory of my first few girlfriends was the aroma of coconut oil on their skin and the fad of the time of apple smelling hair shampoo they all used. Did some strange things, but never drank from a shoe. Snakes don't scare me, but I will scream like a little girl at a spider. I would rather go to the local fish and chip shop and get a burger with the lot, than go get a crappy burger from McDonald's.
I have a friend who married an English girl (she is a lovely woman). They have lived in England the last 25 years, have 2 girls who are now adults. He was a very well known sportsman in his youth. Each Christmas they host Christmas lunch for expats. The lunch is great, after lunch, sometimes in snow, the traditional game of back yard cricket is played. The game goes on for hours, usually so long as players can stand. Some epic innings have been recorded, one by a Policeman who came after a noise complaint, left and came back when his shift ended. Another by a former international cricket player who was finally bowled out by a rather tubby female IT professional who had bowled against her brothers for years.
What Americans don't seem to realise, is that the beetroot on our burger is equivalent to your pickle. The beetroot we use is pickled in vinegar type solution and comes in a can. We would never use fresh beets unless they were grated in a coleslaw like concoction. The pineapple is for the sweet tooths (I can't stand the stuff, burger or not), and the egg, well we do like to put fried eggs on stuff. It's our British heritage.
The beetroot and pineapple take the place of the sour flavour in the burger that would be occupied by sliced dill pickles in the US. Not sure why but Tina Turner was massive in Australia in the late 80's/Early 90's so that's probably where the Nutbush got popular. There's a thing called a 'Blue Light Disco' that most school age kids will have been to that were very popular in the 90's and songs that had associated dances were very popular. She sang a duet of The Best with Jimmy Barnes (ask your better half to explain who he is) for use in advertising the NRL, back when it was the Winfield Cup in like '92 I think?
Haha Nutbush, was at a function last night & it was played, goes back to the 70’s when Tina did the song on stage & stuck around through the 80’s because Tina was so popular then ( as people have mentioned)
Yep, it's now a tradition passed from older siblings to younger, from daggy parents to their hip kids, it's communal and tribal in suburbia and small country towns. What's not to love about it?
We don't go around bare-foot most places because the road and paths gets so hot in summer that you will get blisters on the soles of your feet. We wear thongs to the shops which is acceptable wear. Even on the beach the sand gets so burning hot that you need to wear thongs.
When I lived in China i went to the local Holiday Inn where an Aussie ran the steak restaurant. A mate and I went there and he cooked an Australian burger for each of us. Four different Americans came to look at our burgers (they weren't on the menu) and asked if they could also have one. He managed to satisfy them and they all came over and said it was a totally different experience to what they were used to and they would be more than happy to have one again.
I walk around the shops barefoot, maybe it’s a Queenslander thing. I’ve retired & haven’t worn ‘those white fella curse’ (shoes) for years. Thongs yep, but NOT shoes!
Americans use Vegemite incorrectly as they think it’s the same as peanut butter which it’s not. Whereas Aussies use a ‘thin’ scrape of Vegemite on top of toast and butter, also on a soft buttered bread roll or with cheese and crackers. Most Aussies don’t spread it thickly, just a smear to give the toast, bread roll or crackers extra flavour.
I only get sunburned when I put sun screen on, any time of the year. If I get a bit red from the sun I will go brown in a couple of hours. I live on the Gold coast and go everywhere without shoes in spring autumn and winter. Never in summer the roads get to hot and can seriously burn your feet.
You might think we talk fast, because we talk in what's called strine. Years ago, there was a well known add on TV for a bug spray. The catchphrase was "Have a good weekend", but they advertised it as we say it. "Avagoodweekend" We are lazy talkers. Americans enunciate, where we don't.
Nut Bush has a dance, it was the last or second last song played at nighclubs before the ugly lights were turned on. it got everyone on the dance flloor and thus off their rases and ready to leave. Now you might play Closing Time
As a Tasmanian I am proof that you point no. 3 is redundant. We burn quickly down here. Have you heard of the "hole in the ozone layer"? I cover up every time I'm outside. Sunscreen (sunblock) is essential!
If you head to far north Queensland where it rains over 200 days a year and the humidity rarely gets below 60 percent you will see people walking around with no shoes on as wearing shoes can lead to foot rot. I know of a number of primary schools north of Port Douglas up to 10 years ago had a shoes optional approach because of this reason. You can dry feet easily but shoes and socks not so much.
I remember when I visited america I had to really slow down my words to the point that I even thought I sounded condescending and patronising. Really made me feel uncomfortable
I'm an Aussie but, don't eat Vegemite, don't drink anymore, pretty much barefoot except for my work boots or thongs. Its not a hamburger without beetroot/egg/bacon/pineapple. Put sunscreen on my face or use zinc. Talk fast but the slang/accent/swearing can be removed/adjusted for the company you're in. Its bloody hot about 320 days of the year. That was fun, hope the govt lets you 'come on down' sometime soon. Cheers
Oh don't worry Dear, hot cross buns for Easter are already out and it is only 28th December 2021😲 so over commercialised stores are here in Australia too
Oh my goodness, I have never seen a tub of Vegemite that size ever! The barefoot thing is overstated you might see it in tourist or holiday areas during summer but not in urban areas. The shoey seems to have been promoted by Australian formula one driver Daniel Ricciardo so maybe that’s where the association of it with Australia comes from. Christmas would inevitably have a different feel to it as late December is summertime here. Halloween historically not been celebrated here although in recent years there has been a push for it from the retail sector for entirely commercial reasons. Thanksgiving is not a public holiday here either and not really something Australians concern themselves with.
Sorry to break it to you, but Christmas is still highly commercialised in Oz. Once father's Day is out of the way, it's all about Christmas in the shops. It's like with Easter's Hot Cross Buns. They now appear in supermarkets a week or so after Christmas. But, I will admit that we're probably not as commercialised as some other countries. Do, however, forget about ever seeing a white Christmas again when you move here - unless you count Christmas on a white-sand beach.
Don’t knock Nutbush City Limit it’s the one song no matter how much you say you can’t dance or non matter how hammered you are , everyone knows the moves to, not to mention it’s cool song
We had some English friends visiting, and we took them from Sydney to Canberra for a couple of days to see the sights. The next week, we asked where they would like to visit next weekend. They suggested Alice Springs...
So true - "See Ya "Round Like A Rissole" was said to a work colleague in USA & he grabbed me "did you call me an Asshole ?". I had to explain to him that a Rissole was a round ball of minced meat. I did cook them some when I came back to work on Monday.
Nut Bush city limits. When Tina Turner released the song the Australian pub culture was very different. The most significant change came when they changed the Sunday drinking laws allowing pubs to be open from memory 11 am to 7 pm. Gone was the Sunday session of 2pm to 5pm were everyone would nose dive in to the schooners and leave so blind they couldn't find their car let alone how to drive it home. It was during this time Nut Bush hit the top of the charts and the whole pub, usually closer to closing time, would all rise to do this line dance. It's something funny the millennials saw their parents do after a few. It's just a harmless funny dance. Bit like people dancing around flapping their arms like chooks, which in my opinion is it's a pretty poor choice for expressing your dance floor prowess. Unless of course your a kiwi bird in which case it looks rather natural, mate.
I’m Australian and I only ever put sunscreen on if I’m going to at the beach for like a few hours I never put it on just for my every day. The barefoot thing I live rural and we’re barefoot most of the time I’ve picked up people at the airport barefoot.
Aussie here. Older guy. We used to go barefoot all the time when we were kids (in the 70s). Not seen much now. Culture changing in the last 20 years or so. Women used to go topless on the beach but they don't now. Nice vids. Welcome to Oz. I hope you have a good time here. Regards.
As an Australian I think we tend to not give a shit about celebrities, we notice them but that is about the size of it. I volunteered a lot in motorsport and basketball so maybe I am less awed by meeting multiple world champions and national champions but in the main they are just ordinary people with extraordinary talents who do ordinary things most of the time.
for a marriage to be recognised by the government there are certain legal requirements that must be followed, like having a witness, etc. for over a decade it has been a legal requirement to play nutbush at the wedding reception.
another cool vid. i find vids like this interesting because i also "dated across borders" at one point in oz (back in L.A. now thangs didn't work out with me and australian gf). as far as vegemite i think it's safe to say if ya didn't grow up eating it you prolly won't like it. it's really nothing personal. i wasn't crazy about their tv or movies either again nothing personal. there's nasty foods in every country and bad tv and movies. also, ya gotta remember first of all generally anywhere you go in the world males have stronger accents than females no matter where it is or what language but plus that australia is flooded with americana and has been fer decades now so they have a thousand times more exposure to yankee accents than we do theirs so that's a big factor in potential communication gaps too. and i think they def. have more alcoholism but i think here in the states we have more drug addiction esp. script drugs so 6 of one hald dozen of the other.
I'm an Aussie, I hate Vegemite so do my 2 sons my wife loves it. I put sunscreen on in the summer months only, no need for it in the cooler months because your fully clothed and the sun is not fierce. Oh some people use Vegemite in cooking apparently it adds a little extra flavour, similar to beef stock guese
Unlike seat belts, if the sun feels a bit hot, I'll use sun screen, but i'm a bit gang-ho about it. I lost a cousin from Melanoma in the 1960's but, aside from a few acquaintances who've had skin cancers removed, it is not at the top of my mind. Drinking? If you are driving outback you will invariably have a "traveller" or two.
Beetroot is great on a burger. I only occasionally get a burger with the lot. Sunscreen depends on how intense the sun is on the day but in autumn (fall) / winter we tend to wear long sleaved clothes so inherent protection from the sun. But I must point out when I visited a friend in Florida we were laughed at at our constant application of sun screen before we went out for the day. As for fairy bread I have the opposite opion as I consider it a children's party food or special treat food not something that is that enjoyable give me Vegemite on buttered Turkish bread any day. Distance yes were are a big country it is reflected in how we see distance. If asked how far is Sydney from Brisbane most likely you get an answer of 12 hours. How far is the city from Liverpool round 45 to 50 minutes depending on the traffic. Aussies it important how long it will take to drive there not how far that is distance wise.
The only 2 exceptions of Celebrity Australian us Aussies love and are proud of are Heath Ledger and Steve Irwin. Besides that everyone else we’re like “nah I saw how shit you were in Neighbours before you went to Hollywood” 😂
When Tom Sellick was in Alice Springs for the filming of Quigley Down Under both he and his bodyguard couldn’t believe they could walk around in public or go to a restaurant and be totally ignored or at most get a wave and hello.
Re Vegemite: You could probably buy a 44 gallon drum of the stuff as bacteria and fungi are too frightened to have a go at it because of the salt content.
I never eat Beetroot, I really dont like it... But, oh my , Ironically , when you have a burger with the lot, It just works... I shite you not...Its like Alchemy... Something happens when you add it all together. It really adds something that must be experienced.
a burger without beetroot is like a pub with no beer, and i never wear shoes unless i'm getting paid or formal attire is required it's not gross it's normal. gross is people that have slimy, sweaty stinking feet from wearing shoes 16hrs a day.
Yeh I only slap on sunscreen on days when it's over 40° and I'll be outside for more than an hour. . . Which is rare coz if it's over 40° I ain't doing shit outside lol. Saying that I do tan ridiculously fast so scoring a summer tan just involves a couple of days of shirtless walking the dog and a bit of aloe to solve the inevitable burn :D
As a Queensland carpenter I'd apply sunscreen 3 to 4 times a year. Saying that I get skin spots cut out on a regular basis. And excuse me but American put so much sauce or katchup on things how could you possibly taste good quality meats. At least you can distinguish the difference between beetroot and our quality Aussie beef and bacon
I'm in Mildura Victoria and I am Irish Born so fair skin. I only use sunscreen if I'm near the water or outside for a long time in Summer usually. We just get used to the heat and skin cancer is a big killer. Beetroot makes it sweet, and the egg tops it off. Pineapple- is the great Australian Debate. I'm a YES
Beetroot only makes it sweet in AU because you use sweetened sugar water instead of pickling it. Pineapple would also make it sweet, except naturally. If you want to add a touch of sweetness to a burger, that is what caramelized onions is for.
@@margaretmax-community Ah so you are not buying it from the shop. Most beetroot they sell in cans here in AU is with sweetened water. Again unlike most in the US and UK where it is normally pickled. Idk about natural beetroot, never cared for it and I am sure I had it raw before, but that was likely when I was a kid and no longer recall. My aussie wife likes it and buys some once in awhile but always forgets about it and so it sits lol. To be fair she is not the one who usually cooks though. Coles beetroot ingredients: Beetroot (61%), water, white sugar, salt. This I find odd, because most aussies are more into savoury foods. And not a fan of sweet meals ... yet you all usually like sweetened bootroot on so many things. My wife is a huge fan of bananas, her favorite flavour and fruit, so I really had not noticed if that is a thing here in Perth or not.
@@kevinfisher1345 well there you go, I didn’t know. Just grabbed the tin out of the kitchen. Yes I always have a tin handy next to the tin pineapple 😉 and it has beetroot water sugar salt and food acid. I did not know 🤔 And yes fresh roasted it’s sweet as well. A must if you like roasting
Barefoot in shopping centres isn't common as it once was due to company dress standard policies decided by insurance companies and I guess, some State legislations. Regarding sunscreen, it's largely a summer thing but it also depends on where you live and the weather conditions on the day. I did not wear sunscreen as a child as I only burned when I had it applied. I assume it was by an ingredient that is no longer included. Vegemite is more than a toast spread. Rub it on your chicken before you roast it. As a spoon in a vegetable stirfry and there's other delicious uses of vegemite.
sunscreen? what is sunscreen? and thats coming from an Australian to be fair a Queenslander. barefoot it depends on the area you live in and if i know im only going to be less then say 5 minutes in town then ill go barefoot becoz i dont see the point of putting shoes on for just 5 minutes if im barefoot all day, but if i know im going to be in town for an hour or more or not at home all day then ofc ill wear shoes it just depends on what im doing and that is the same for some aussies
"why do you put beetroot on a burger" - tinned beetroot is a sweet pickle. It does the same job as - well - as putting pickles on a burger. The "shoey" might be a military thing.
You are absolutely right! Lose the pineapple. Unless you are promoting Queensland or Hawaii, pineapple shoud not be on pizza or a hambuger. HOWEVER, bacon, sgg, onion , cheese, and beetroot on a " Burger the Lot" is a must. (Unfortunately a lot of fish and chips shops are dropping the beetroot from the burger)
I've never seen a person drinking out of a shoe, and certainly don't use the term goonbag. Beetroot on a burger is very good, as is putting an egg on a burger. Hippies walk around in Nimbin without shoes, but ordinary Aussies are mindful of wearing shoes outside.
Oh you need beetroot on a burger it just makes it so delicious. I’m an Aussie married to a Canadian and living in Canada. We only wear sunscreen in the summer and then some people still never put their sunscreen on.
It was at that moment I knew, she'll never fully be one of us.
If you live in a beachside suburb, barefoot is OK everywhere - even in the supermarket (tested personally in Woolworths at Mona Vale ...)
I grew up barefoot, and had soles like leather!
And I am from a posh family.
Ooh watch out for "Goobies" on the foorpath.
I dated an Australian and ended up marrying him…lol. You are so right about the burgers especially. I love how they put ie or y on the end of words like lollies for candy, sunnies for sunglasses and breaking for breakfast….so fun
I'm an Australian. I rarely drink. I don't go the shops barefoot. I've never seen anyone do a shoey. When an American is in Australia, they have thick accents, not us. But beetroot on hamburgers is essential and a tub of Vegemite wouldn't go astray.
Is beetroot on burgers a NSW or QLD thing. I'm in Victoria. I've ordered hamburger with the lot. They never once put beetroot on it unless you ask for it.
I went to havey Bay QLD to visit my brother several years ago and they added beetroot and pineapple on the burger. I took it back and told them to make another one without pineapple and beetroot. I thought that was really strange too. It must be only some states that does that. As here in Victoria they don't
I'm a bit disappointed about you letting the team down with the drinking mate, but I've done my bit to take up the slack you. cheers.
Only Daniel Ricardo does shoeys
@@Nathan-ry3yu I would have just removed the beetroot and pineapple and be done. That's a more Australian thing to do. Good manners.
@@Malc664 I've never gotten beetroot or pineapple on my burgers to even remove it. What fish n' chip shop serves that?
Beetroot on a fish n chip shop burger with the lot is absolutely necessary.
Hi! Australian here. I love how you correctly use Australian slang and words in your sentences. It sounds so natural! From having lived in American for a little bit and always watching some American youtubers (and returning in early 2022!) I found that American use seasoning in their cooking a lot more than most Australians do. The egg and beetroot on burgers seems to be a lot more common with the older generation, but I wouldn't say no to either of them if I was in the mood for it at the time. Good luck on your move (especially at the moment)!
I've ordered hamburger with the lot many times. I've never had beetroot or pineapple on it unless you ask for it. Although I've noticed in QLD they add beetroot. I thought that was strange. I'm from Victoria
I had never heard of a "shoey" before about 2 years ago and I come from an aussie occupation which has a drinking culture! It seems a relatively modern thing here, and exactly as you say, almost no-one who has progressed past their teens actually does it. When my American brother in law came out here for the first time I took him to a local store which made fantastic burgers. He asked for one "no egg, no beetroot, no onion, no tomato". The cook replied "so you just want meat on a bread roll?" 😂 It's unpatriotic not to have beetroot on a burger here. 😉
So true! Except for beetroot on a burger. That pretty purple crap is disgusting 🤣
Never heard of a "shoey" until Daniel Ricciardo's performance after winning a Formula One race.
The "shoey" is totally fabricated bullshit, from arse-hole to breakfast-time!
That's not true. Unpatriotic to have no beetroot on burgers in Australia. Seriously mate. I'm Aussie descendants from the first fleet settlers not every Aussie have beetroot put on their burgers. You fabricated crap with that statement you made.. and I have never hurd of the phrase Shoey either. Although a lot of slang isn't practce in my home..
Look up Frenchy.
There is no reason why we love the Nutbush dance. It seems to get everyone up on the dancefloor whether you can dance or not. There is one thing I do know, Tina Turner was an icon here in the eighties, and we embraced her to the point that her song "Simply the Best" was used in advertising the Footy "Rugby League" season.
Yes, appearing in Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and the subsequent success of the song 'We Don't Need Another Hero' almost made her Australian by adoption.
&, in the 80’s, we were taught to dance nut bush at high school PE classes
the nut bush was required learning , teachers taught us to do it for school socials , we would all be in a square and just follow the lead of our teachers , and in my day they all wore mini skirts .
They should know it because Tina Turner sang it
In the footy bit it was " Simple at best " but otherwise... She didn't do herself any favours with Thunderdome. That movie is not in the canon.
Nut bush... Always fun as a DJ to play with the BPM when the crowd have had enough to drink.
I'm a 68 year old granny, and I have to say that the behaviour of Aussies has changed a lot since I was your age. Then we were very polite, didn't swear and only the hippies smoked weed. People drank but really watched their limits. Road deaths advertisements kept people aware of the risks of overindulging. Personally I don't like Vegemite anymore, but I love other similar brands. I have never liked fairy bread even as a kid. And it was a kids' party food. In the 50's and 60's we did run around without much in the way of footwear or clothes in the summer. Our lives were about fresh air and fun, not which brand of dress we wore. We didn't care if we were sunburnt. I still do not use sunscreen except maybe a little on my face. Vit D is an important vitamin and is made in the non sunscreened skin from the sun. People were very healthy back then. We didn't eat much sugar either. We did use a lot of slang or 'strine" which of course was a bring over from our British roots, like the meat pie you mentioned. We were/are basically a shy people, not prone to garish or loud behaviour. But don't take our quiescence for non attentiveness or low intellect. We used to have a brilliant education system based on the 3 Rs and critical thinking, but like many other nations' school systems, it is sadly lacking now. We are a friendly people, until you show us hostility. Then we will let you know in no uncertain terms you are not welcome. Speaking of strange food combinations. When I was 18 I visited the US for about 3 months. I was once given a home made meal at some friends and told it was to be such and such with Jello, which here is jelly. So I looked forward to the main meal with jelly for dessert. You can imagine my surprise when the main meal was presented with the jelly situated wobbling on the same plate lol. It was part of the main course.
Another funny incident was after being introduced to some new friends as having come from Australia, one lass complimented me on my good English skills. "You speak good English' she said. A bit stunned I think I went blank for a moment then asked her where she thought Australia was. She thought for a moment then hesitantly replied "South America?" lol
Good job, well presented and close to the mark. I haven’t heard of the shoe being used to consume beer. However it wouldn’t surprise me. Good luck with your travels, your fella is a lucky lad meeting and going out with such a bonza Sheila like yourself.
Beetroot is sweet but earthy , and boosts the vitamin intake on the burger 🍔 it's a unique taste to bite into a burger and getting all of those flavours at once .
We once bought a tin of beetroot in SE Asia, and it was made in the USA. It was a fair bit sweeter than the Australian version, and actually went off in the fridge after a week or so, whereas Australian beetroot keeps for weeks.
Nutbush CL is a Tina Turner song; she is almost an honorary Aussie having been part of a major ad campaign for Rugby League in 1989 (Simply the Best) on TH-cam. Nutbush was also played mercilessly in aerobics gyms for years! It became the drunk party dance for every wedding, party or large gathering.
I rarely use sunscreen, never in winter, autumn. Tho I have bought a hat now i'm a bit older. Rarely use gloves weeding the garden either and yes, we have spiders and snakes where i live. An Australian hamburger is a work of art, you can consider bacon, egg, pineapple as optional But lettuce tomato beetroot fried onions tomato sauce are absolutely essential.
Gotta love the Dead-Horse, mate!
Beetroot and pineapple on burgers? Must be a QLD or NSW thing. I've never seen anyone order beetroot or pineapple or onion rings on a burger in Victoria
I use sunscreen only during Summer when I go to the beach.
But during Autumn, Winter, & Spring in Melbourne, Victoria where I live, the sun is quite mild & feels beautiful.
It also makes the place look beautiful.
Love living here.
Beetroot etc in burger (works) is so normal in Australia.
I always have vegemite & promite in the pantry; have to get spares early in case you run out.
Hi, Boxing day can be considered a good opportunity to eat Christmas day leftovers and nurse hangovers.
Cheers from Australia
We often refer to distance in terms of time. "How far is it from Perth to Adelaide?" "Oh, around two days by road". That kind of thing.
I would love to see your reaction in another year of being in and around OZ. We treat our burgers as almost a gourmet delicacy. We also have a try anything on the burger attitude......I love the egg, but it has to be sunnyside up with some bacon and lotsa well cooked onions and cheese on a toasted bun (my wife likes brioche buns, I don't) Then mustard and sauce OR BBQ sauce depending on my mood. As for the beetroot, I usually don't like it on a burger. Anyway, we have taken something simple and transformed it to Take away, pub food or a delicacy......Burgers ain't just burgers! There are so many things I would love to hear about in another year....PS we don't spoil good wine or beer by doing a shoey, that was a young racing driver who drank out of his boot and it went viral!!
The burger itself is a gourmet delicacy LOL. One does not need to put all that stuff on it if they love burgers. Trying anything on it sure, but if one loves burgers they will like it just fine without all that AU 'The Lot' on it (not the US 'The Lot' which is salads and usually bacon with cheese). But what really gets me is aussies have no clue what a burger actually is. A chicken burger LMAO, there is no such thing. That would be a chicken patty PLUS the burger with it. Oddly enough every time I order a chicken burger, the burger is always missing and I only get the chicken patty. So it clearly does not exist.
I have an Australian roommate, we live in the USA, and I am originally from Michigan even though we don't live in the state. He had me try vegemite and...eeeew....the good thing is that Michiganders talk very fast and use a lot of slang too so we keep up with each other even though our slang are different. He says that he likes the Michigan accent because it is different from the accent from this state, it is nasally. We also like to shorten our sentences for example I'll say "c'meer" or "dja eat?"
I told him that I used to run around in the snow bare foot with a sleevless shirt and shorts back when I lived in Michigan. I like his laid back attitude and it is contagious.
it is so wrong NOT to put beetroot on a hamburger although I do agree about the pine apple that's probably some thing that we caught from you people.
I think the reason people in the UK and USA find out beetroot idea horrendous is because they pickle it in vinegar while we pickle in sweetened water.
@@TheNakedWombat Fair point.How ever most US burgers I've eaten have Pickle (Gerkin in Oz) on them, which many Strayans find "different". So I hold my ground " If it ain't got beetroot it ain't Stayan" .
Pineapple on a burger is as Aussie as it gets
@@TheNakedWombat LOL in other words you do not pickle it. Pickling is fermenting the vegetable / fruit so that it is preserved and will store for a long period of time. This can be done via several methods, but all of them cause it to ferment or slightly ferment so that it is preserved. Common methods are done via vinegar, or really any type of acid (aka low PH). Another is using brine / salt which again creates an acid to pickle the vegetable as well as dries it out which also helps to preserve it. Sugar water or sweetened water will not do any of that. What you mean to say is that US and UK use pickled beetroot, while you just have beetroot.
I like pineapple on a burger with the lot. In the 70's and 80's they seem to put it on a burger called Hawaiian.
I live in Sydney and my girl is US Army. She thinks I'm hilarious.
Good on ya' mate.
The 'shoey" was the brain child of an Australian Formula One driver, Daniel Riccardo, definitely Bogan. I went for a Sunday morning breakfast in LA, what in Aus we call a 'big breakfast,' fried Bacon, fried tomato, deep fried chips or a potato cake, fried or poached eggs, sausages, and toast. I was horrified when I received my meal on the Santa Monica water front, LA The plate contained fried ham, tomato puree, powdered eggs, crisps and a heated canned hot dog. I laughed left $20.00 on the table and walked out. My experience in the USA was Americans use toppings, sauces to give junk food flavour. In Aussie cafes etc we are usually served fresh foods. with hamburgers, steak sandwiches etc I have never eaten Maccas, Hungry Jacks, or Wendy's so I can not offer an opinion on those outlets Kaitlyn. The bucket of Vegemite blew me out. Hahahaha. You will certainly have heaps of material for your videos. So many differences, yet so much alike also. Keep up the good work.
I used to live in Port Hedland (NW of Western Australia) , where there was a weekly flight to Bali - 2 hours.
What you say?? Everybody know we talk proper, depends where we got schuled. Seriously, a shoey? Never heard of it. Beetroot on a burger? Of course! And bare feet was normal for me until the age of about 7. Distances in AUS are commonly given in terms of time, rather than kilometers (or miles).
Melbourne to Brisbane is about 20 hours by road, or two and a bit by plane.
People definitely walk around barefoot, including into the stores.
Sort of depends on what part of Oz you are talking about. It's a little less common now, mainly due to increased health risks (contaminated needles left in parks and beaches, etc), but it is also less common now for clubs to force dress standards. If you hit the main tourist areas in northern NSW and in Queensland, you will see a lot of barefoots. The centre of Sydney? Not so much.
Yep I’m one of them
We absolutely know we can get sunburnt. We have VERY strong sun in Summer due to the earth axes but is much weaker in winter so we dont bother much then. :P Beetroot is salad here So if you have salad on a burger it may be included. For some reason an egg means its "Aussie" flavor. Like pizza. I dont know why. I wear bare feet often in summer Cos I hate thongs. I cant stand the sound they make. Our streets are pretty clean here outside the big cities.
The nut bush thing… we all got taught the “Manhattan” dance at primary school (in the 80’s at least) which we danced to the music “popcorn”. So everyone knew how to do it and it’s an easy one to remember . Later everyone started dancing it to Nutbush City Limits - it has a similar tempo.
* we also learnt various country/bush dances, the Pride of Erin, etc.
Welcome to Australia, you will love it here.
On the celebrities, more likely in my experience to be Aussie musicians. John Farnham, Jimmie Barnes, AC/DC, Midnight Oil, Sia, Kylie Minogue, Jessica Mauboy, Keith Urban, Slim Dusty, etc).
Skip the pineapple on the burger but the rest is great. Nutbush City Limits goes back to when Tina Turner was establishing herself as a solo artist after she split from Ike. Australia was one of the first places she toured, I know I went and saw he in Perth in our concert hall. She rocked. I was already a fan, after watching her that night, she wowed the place, did several encores and the crowd (it ia only a small concert hall) went nuts. She got the same reaction everywhere she went here, so she kept coming back every so often because she loved the people and their enthusiasm, and Nutbush was a song she always did. It become her Aussie theme song hence the dance was invented. Later I suppose her Aussie theme became Simply The Best, but that was much later. But she loved coming down under as when she was struggling to establish herself, she was so warmly welcomed here and became a legend. That is why she was asked to do Simply the Best as the Rugby League theme and she said yes. By then she was a worldwide headliner, but loved coming down here and never forgot how welcome she was made to feel, which apparently wasn't always the case then in the USA>
Hope you enjoy your time if you come to our country(I'm sure Mark will be happy). As always, things have changed over time. In the 70's as a person just going into my teens, in summer we would walk around in just a par of short, the heat didn't really affect my feet, had more pain from overgrown three corner jack bushes encroaching onto the footpath from peoples lawns. As for sunscreen what the hell was that, we would put tons of coconut oil on, the radio station use to play every 15 mins a little commercial "it's time to turn, so you don't burn", by mid-summer most people hair was two shades lighter and our skin was golden brown(these days I do use sunscreen if I'm working outdoors for more than 1 hour in the summer). My fondest memory of my first few girlfriends was the aroma of coconut oil on their skin and the fad of the time of apple smelling hair shampoo they all used. Did some strange things, but never drank from a shoe. Snakes don't scare me, but I will scream like a little girl at a spider. I would rather go to the local fish and chip shop and get a burger with the lot, than go get a crappy burger from McDonald's.
I have a friend who married an English girl (she is a lovely woman). They have lived in England the last 25 years, have 2 girls who are now adults. He was a very well known sportsman in his youth. Each Christmas they host Christmas lunch for expats. The lunch is great, after lunch, sometimes in snow, the traditional game of back yard cricket is played. The game goes on for hours, usually so long as players can stand. Some epic innings have been recorded, one by a Policeman who came after a noise complaint, left and came back when his shift ended. Another by a former international cricket player who was finally bowled out by a rather tubby female IT professional who had bowled against her brothers for years.
What Americans don't seem to realise, is that the beetroot on our burger is equivalent to your pickle. The beetroot we use is pickled in vinegar type solution and comes in a can. We would never use fresh beets unless they were grated in a coleslaw like concoction. The pineapple is for the sweet tooths (I can't stand the stuff, burger or not), and the egg, well we do like to put fried eggs on stuff. It's our British heritage.
The beetroot and pineapple take the place of the sour flavour in the burger that would be occupied by sliced dill pickles in the US.
Not sure why but Tina Turner was massive in Australia in the late 80's/Early 90's so that's probably where the Nutbush got popular. There's a thing called a 'Blue Light Disco' that most school age kids will have been to that were very popular in the 90's and songs that had associated dances were very popular. She sang a duet of The Best with Jimmy Barnes (ask your better half to explain who he is) for use in advertising the NRL, back when it was the Winfield Cup in like '92 I think?
Haha Nutbush, was at a function last night & it was played, goes back to the 70’s when Tina did the song on stage & stuck around through the 80’s because Tina was so popular then ( as people have mentioned)
Yep, it's now a tradition passed from older siblings to younger, from daggy parents to their hip kids, it's communal and tribal in suburbia and small country towns. What's not to love about it?
We don't go around bare-foot most places because the road and paths gets so hot in summer that you will get blisters on the soles of your feet. We wear thongs to the shops which is acceptable wear. Even on the beach the sand gets so burning hot that you need to wear thongs.
Thongs in Aust are flip flops, jandals, or Japanese riding boots. Thongs in the us are g-string crack exposers.
Spiders everwere.
When I lived in China i went to the local Holiday Inn where an Aussie ran the steak restaurant. A mate and I went there and he cooked an Australian burger for each of us. Four different Americans came to look at our burgers (they weren't on the menu) and asked if they could also have one. He managed to satisfy them and they all came over and said it was a totally different experience to what they were used to and they would be more than happy to have one again.
I walk around the shops barefoot, maybe it’s a Queenslander thing. I’ve retired & haven’t worn ‘those white fella curse’ (shoes) for years. Thongs yep, but NOT shoes!
Only time I wear shoes is to work, i'd wear thongs there too if they let me
Americans use Vegemite incorrectly as they think it’s the same as peanut butter which it’s not. Whereas Aussies use a ‘thin’ scrape of Vegemite on top of toast and butter, also on a soft buttered bread roll or with cheese and crackers. Most Aussies don’t spread it thickly, just a smear to give the toast, bread roll or crackers extra flavour.
The West Coast Eagles (AFL) have a defender named Luke Shuey. I imagine he was popular at parties in secondary school.
I only get sunburned when I put sun screen on, any time of the year. If I get a bit red from the sun I will go brown in a couple of hours. I live on the Gold coast and go everywhere without shoes in spring autumn and winter. Never in summer the roads get to hot and can seriously burn your feet.
You might think we talk fast, because we talk in what's called strine. Years ago, there was a well known add on TV for a bug spray. The catchphrase was "Have a good weekend", but they advertised it as we say it. "Avagoodweekend" We are lazy talkers. Americans enunciate, where we don't.
Nut Bush has a dance, it was the last or second last song played at nighclubs before the ugly lights were turned on. it got everyone on the dance flloor and thus off their rases and ready to leave. Now you might play Closing Time
As an Aussie bloke I honestly never put sunscreen on love meat pies
Beetroot and pineapple on burgers taste delicious.
As a Tasmanian I am proof that you point no. 3 is redundant.
We burn quickly down here. Have you heard of the "hole in the ozone layer"?
I cover up every time I'm outside.
Sunscreen (sunblock) is essential!
Darling vegemite is packed FULL of vitamin B6 and B12 every little kids' energy bar
If you head to far north Queensland where it rains over 200 days a year and the humidity rarely gets below 60 percent you will see people walking around with no shoes on as wearing shoes can lead to foot rot. I know of a number of primary schools north of Port Douglas up to 10 years ago had a shoes optional approach because of this reason. You can dry feet easily but shoes and socks not so much.
I remember when I visited america I had to really slow down my words to the point that I even thought I sounded condescending and patronising. Really made me feel uncomfortable
Actually a flight from Darwin to Bali is very short for international travel.
Look up some recipes for vegemite. Basically, you can use it anywhere you would use soya sauce.
I'm an Aussie but, don't eat Vegemite, don't drink anymore, pretty much barefoot except for my work boots or thongs. Its not a hamburger without beetroot/egg/bacon/pineapple. Put sunscreen on my face or use zinc. Talk fast but the slang/accent/swearing can be removed/adjusted for the company you're in. Its bloody hot about 320 days of the year.
That was fun, hope the govt lets you 'come on down' sometime soon. Cheers
"Never Trust a Man who doesn't Drink" - My father.
And he was correct: 100%.
Prove me wrong...
You are NOT an Aussie. (no vegemite)
Aussie here. Must have beetroot on a burger, with egg and glad to see you used the word Bogan correctly
Pineapple optional. The rest mandatory
Nothing is "mandatory". We aren't carbon copy people contrary to what some believe.
Oh don't worry Dear, hot cross buns for Easter are already out and it is only 28th December 2021😲 so over commercialised stores are here in Australia too
Oh my goodness, I have never seen a tub of Vegemite that size ever! The barefoot thing is overstated you might see it in tourist or holiday areas during summer but not in urban areas. The shoey seems to have been promoted by Australian formula one driver Daniel Ricciardo so maybe that’s where the association of it with Australia comes from. Christmas would inevitably have a different feel to it as late December is summertime here. Halloween historically not been celebrated here although in recent years there has been a push for it from the retail sector for entirely commercial reasons. Thanksgiving is not a public holiday here either and not really something Australians concern themselves with.
So I just saw my name in the comments and thought - I never commented here! Then I realised, I HAVE A COMMON NAME!😯 Anyway, Hi John Young
@@JayWhy1964 Yes it is a reasonably common name.
challenging when she asks you do you want fries with that LOL
I don’t put sunscreen on at all. Doesn’t hurt that muc after a couple days
Sorry to break it to you, but Christmas is still highly commercialised in Oz. Once father's Day is out of the way, it's all about Christmas in the shops. It's like with Easter's Hot Cross Buns. They now appear in supermarkets a week or so after Christmas. But, I will admit that we're probably not as commercialised as some other countries. Do, however, forget about ever seeing a white Christmas again when you move here - unless you count Christmas on a white-sand beach.
I saw Hot Cross Buns in October at a supermarket. I couldn’t believe it. Earliest I’ve ever seen.
Don’t knock Nutbush City Limit it’s the one song no matter how much you say you can’t dance or non matter how hammered you are , everyone knows the moves to, not to mention it’s cool song
high uv count in summer vs winter. they actually have counters for uv level.
I’ve been to the shops barefoot before. So have my kids (when they’ve gotten in the car barefoot!).
We had some English friends visiting, and we took them from Sydney to Canberra for a couple of days to see the sights. The next week, we asked where they would like to visit next weekend. They suggested Alice Springs...
Sydney to canberra is like London to scotland, if not more. That would be a long trip for them. How many countries crossed in Europe?.
So true - "See Ya "Round Like A Rissole" was said to a work colleague in USA & he grabbed me "did you call me an Asshole ?". I had to explain to him that a Rissole was a round ball of minced meat. I did cook them some when I came back to work on Monday.
Nut Bush city limits. When Tina Turner released the song the Australian pub culture was very different. The most significant change came when they changed the Sunday drinking laws allowing pubs to be open from memory 11 am to 7 pm. Gone was the Sunday session of 2pm to 5pm were everyone would nose dive in to the schooners and leave so blind they couldn't find their car let alone how to drive it home. It was during this time Nut Bush hit the top of the charts and the whole pub, usually closer to closing time, would all rise to do this line dance. It's something funny the millennials saw their parents do after a few. It's just a harmless funny dance. Bit like people dancing around flapping their arms like chooks, which in my opinion is it's a pretty poor choice for expressing your dance floor prowess.
Unless of course your a kiwi bird in which case it looks rather natural, mate.
I’m Australian and I only ever put sunscreen on if I’m going to at the beach for like a few hours I never put it on just for my every day. The barefoot thing I live rural and we’re barefoot most of the time I’ve picked up people at the airport barefoot.
Hi
I rarely use sun screen even in summer. mainly when i go to the beach that is the only time
Aussie here. Older guy. We used to go barefoot all the time when we were kids (in the 70s). Not seen much now. Culture changing in the last 20 years or so. Women used to go topless on the beach but they don't now.
Nice vids. Welcome to Oz. I hope you have a good time here.
Regards.
As an Australian I think we tend to not give a shit about celebrities, we notice them but that is about the size of it. I volunteered a lot in motorsport and basketball so maybe I am less awed by meeting multiple world champions and national champions but in the main they are just ordinary people with extraordinary talents who do ordinary things most of the time.
for a marriage to be recognised by the government there are certain legal requirements that must be followed, like having a witness, etc. for over a decade it has been a legal requirement to play nutbush at the wedding reception.
And watch out for drop bears if you go bush on your honeymoon
another cool vid. i find vids like this interesting because i also "dated across borders" at one point in oz (back in L.A. now thangs didn't work out with me and australian gf). as far as vegemite i think it's safe to say if ya didn't grow up eating it you prolly won't like it. it's really nothing personal. i wasn't crazy about their tv or movies either again nothing personal. there's nasty foods in every country and bad tv and movies. also, ya gotta remember first of all generally anywhere you go in the world males have stronger accents than females no matter where it is or what language but plus that australia is flooded with americana and has been fer decades now so they have a thousand times more exposure to yankee accents than we do theirs so that's a big factor in potential communication gaps too. and i think they def. have more alcoholism but i think here in the states we have more drug addiction esp. script drugs so 6 of one hald dozen of the other.
Darwin to Bali is 2.5 hours and pre covid, $164 return, so a 3-4 day trip was common!
I go most places barefoot. Maybe because its Gold Coast
I'm an Aussie, I hate Vegemite so do my 2 sons my wife loves it. I put sunscreen on in the summer months only, no need for it in the cooler months because your fully clothed and the sun is not fierce. Oh some people use Vegemite in cooking apparently it adds a little extra flavour, similar to beef stock guese
Unlike seat belts, if the sun feels a bit hot, I'll use sun screen, but i'm a bit gang-ho about it.
I lost a cousin from Melanoma in the 1960's but, aside from a few acquaintances who've had skin cancers removed, it is not at the top of my mind.
Drinking? If you are driving outback you will invariably have a "traveller" or two.
Beetroot is great on a burger. I only occasionally get a burger with the lot. Sunscreen depends on how intense the sun is on the day but in autumn (fall) / winter we tend to wear long sleaved clothes so inherent protection from the sun. But I must point out when I visited a friend in Florida we were laughed at at our constant application of sun screen before we went out for the day. As for fairy bread I have the opposite opion as I consider it a children's party food or special treat food not something that is that enjoyable give me Vegemite on buttered Turkish bread any day. Distance yes were are a big country it is reflected in how we see distance. If asked how far is Sydney from Brisbane most likely you get an answer of 12 hours. How far is the city from Liverpool round 45 to 50 minutes depending on the traffic. Aussies it important how long it will take to drive there not how far that is distance wise.
The only 2 exceptions of Celebrity Australian us Aussies love and are proud of are Heath Ledger and Steve Irwin. Besides that everyone else we’re like “nah I saw how shit you were in Neighbours before you went to Hollywood” 😂
Depends on what part of OZ as too how we speak.
Mate.
When Tom Sellick was in Alice Springs for the filming of Quigley Down Under both he and his bodyguard couldn’t believe they could walk around in public or go to a restaurant and be totally ignored or at most get a wave and hello.
Re Vegemite: You could probably buy a 44 gallon drum of the stuff as bacteria and fungi are too frightened to have a go at it because of the salt content.
Spot on with the sunscreen.
I'm Aussie and I agree with you on Vegemite.
I never eat Beetroot, I really dont like it...
But, oh my , Ironically , when you have a burger with the lot, It just works... I shite you not...Its like Alchemy... Something happens when you add it all together.
It really adds something that must be experienced.
You obviously live in Sydney. There are a lot of us who don't live on the coast. I live on the Snowy River!
We don’t get crazy about any celebraties. They can walk among us with out being bothered
a burger without beetroot is like a pub with no beer, and i never wear shoes unless i'm getting paid or formal attire is required it's not gross it's normal. gross is people that have slimy, sweaty stinking feet from wearing shoes 16hrs a day.
The video screenshot was disturbing until I watched and realised you were referring to Vegemite….phwew!
You are obviously NOT an F1 fan . Danny Ric does a "shoey" on many of his podiums . He shared the last one with Lewis .
Yeh I only slap on sunscreen on days when it's over 40° and I'll be outside for more than an hour. . . Which is rare coz if it's over 40° I ain't doing shit outside lol.
Saying that I do tan ridiculously fast so scoring a summer tan just involves a couple of days of shirtless walking the dog and a bit of aloe to solve the inevitable burn :D
As a Queensland carpenter I'd apply sunscreen 3 to 4 times a year. Saying that I get skin spots cut out on a regular basis. And excuse me but American put so much sauce or katchup on things how could you possibly taste good quality meats. At least you can distinguish the difference between beetroot and our quality Aussie beef and bacon
I had to see what the thumbnail was referring to
I'm in Mildura Victoria and I am Irish Born so fair skin. I only use sunscreen if I'm near the water or outside for a long time in Summer usually. We just get used to the heat and skin cancer is a big killer.
Beetroot makes it sweet, and the egg tops it off. Pineapple- is the great Australian Debate. I'm a YES
Beetroot only makes it sweet in AU because you use sweetened sugar water instead of pickling it. Pineapple would also make it sweet, except naturally. If you want to add a touch of sweetness to a burger, that is what caramelized onions is for.
@@kevinfisher1345 I grow it and it’s still sweet roasted?
I love pineapple on everything and bananas. It’s a Queenslander thing
@@margaretmax-community Ah so you are not buying it from the shop. Most beetroot they sell in cans here in AU is with sweetened water. Again unlike most in the US and UK where it is normally pickled. Idk about natural beetroot, never cared for it and I am sure I had it raw before, but that was likely when I was a kid and no longer recall.
My aussie wife likes it and buys some once in awhile but always forgets about it and so it sits lol. To be fair she is not the one who usually cooks though. Coles beetroot ingredients: Beetroot (61%), water, white sugar, salt.
This I find odd, because most aussies are more into savoury foods. And not a fan of sweet meals ... yet you all usually like sweetened bootroot on so many things. My wife is a huge fan of bananas, her favorite flavour and fruit, so I really had not noticed if that is a thing here in Perth or not.

well there you go, I didn’t know. Just grabbed the tin out of the kitchen. Yes I always have a tin handy next to the tin pineapple 😉 and it has beetroot water sugar salt and food acid.
I did not know 🤔
And yes fresh roasted it’s sweet as well. A must if you like roasting
@@margaretmax-community I hear these things in the Expat group :P
Gday mate your description made me feel so proud to be an aussie oi oi oi thanks
What is difference between putting beetroot ona burger when McDonalds put pickles on theirs? It balances the fat.
Barefoot in shopping centres isn't common as it once was due to company dress standard policies decided by insurance companies and I guess, some State legislations. Regarding sunscreen, it's largely a summer thing but it also depends on where you live and the weather conditions on the day. I did not wear sunscreen as a child as I only burned when I had it applied. I assume it was by an ingredient that is no longer included.
Vegemite is more than a toast spread. Rub it on your chicken before you roast it. As a spoon in a vegetable stirfry and there's other delicious uses of vegemite.
sunscreen? what is sunscreen? and thats coming from an Australian to be fair a Queenslander.
barefoot it depends on the area you live in and if i know im only going to be less then say 5 minutes in town then ill go barefoot becoz i dont see the point of putting shoes on for just 5 minutes if im barefoot all day, but if i know im going to be in town for an hour or more or not at home all day then ofc ill wear shoes it just depends on what im doing and that is the same for some aussies
Beetroot absolutely belongs on a burger
Try Australian love our Vegemite sunscreen a lot of people don’t use sunscreen in winter unless ya it in the sun we don’t do the showier
"why do you put beetroot on a burger" - tinned beetroot is a sweet pickle. It does the same job as - well - as putting pickles on a burger.
The "shoey" might be a military thing.
Beetroot in a burger is sooo right!
You are absolutely right! Lose the pineapple. Unless you are promoting Queensland or Hawaii, pineapple shoud not be on pizza or a hambuger. HOWEVER, bacon, sgg, onion , cheese, and beetroot on a " Burger the Lot" is a must. (Unfortunately a lot of fish and chips shops are dropping the beetroot from the burger)
"Dropping beetroot from the Burger"? What a mess the floor must be. I think that is the reason that I ceased going to Con's in Semaphore.
Beetroot isn't added on hamburger in Victoria unless you ask for it. It isn't a must for everyone
I've never seen a person drinking out of a shoe, and certainly don't use the term goonbag.
Beetroot on a burger is very good, as is putting an egg on a burger.
Hippies walk around in Nimbin without shoes, but ordinary Aussies are mindful of wearing shoes outside.
I live in Sydney and haven't worn shoes all summer
