Greg, when you’re out and about, look for an individual cake shop that bakes their own. Buy a Lamington with fresh cream, an apple turnover with cream, and a sausage roll, then take them home to enjoy them! Way nicer than anything the supermarkets sell!
We have Ovaltine, and Akta-Vite which leans more towards a health drink than Nestles Quik and Ovaltine.
Old Gold chocolate company was taken over by corporate, like so many other confectioners around when I was growing up.
Yea I'll have to give a proper bakery lamington a go! Me and my italian roommate were puzzling over the "old gold chocolate" for so long haha
@@gregjameson327 Yeah, you guys are young so you’ve never known a life without corporate business. My memories go back to the corner store owned by the Levi family. Arnott’s Biscuits were sold loose, taken from a large Arnott’s tin with a colourful parrot on the lid. The shopkeeper weighed out the biscuits you wanted and placed them into a brown paper bag. Fresh Milk was delivered to your door each morning, in glass bottles. The washed empties were left out next morning for the milkman to collect. Life was much simpler then. 😍🇦🇺
Can't believe you didn't give them sauce on the sausage rolls. Match made in heaven.
Still good anyway haha
I couldn't believe it either, it just elevates the taste so much.
If an Aussie told you to eat Vegemite from a spoon, he wanted you to hate it so you wouldn’t eat it ever again. No one in Australia eats a spoonful of Vegemite all at once!
Haha we didn't do that until after we had it on toast. It's not bad but I feel like its just one of those things thats an acquired taste
@@gregjameson327 Americans love sweet stuff, really sweet stuff, even American bread is sweet!
lol what?! I eat it from the spoon and I know others that do
@@Dr_KAP I’ve eaten it from a spoon but I lick it like a lollypop, never all at once.
@@Jeni10yum 😂 but yes while we enjoy an occasional spoonful we don’t sit down and eat it like a yogurt 😂
If the Aussie doesn’t like vege, he wasn’t brought up right!
Hahahaha
I think your Vegemite to butter ratio on toast was good! But you could always have more butter than Vegemite 😊
Good range of snacks, there are different qualities/types of pies, sausage rolls and lamingtons (my favourite is the raspberry jelly covered lamington)! Australian snacks have far less additives than the American snacks! Vegemite and Milo are actually healthy! 👍 Cherry Ripe! 😋 Tim Tams, depends!? 🤔
Definitely the Tim Tams haha
hahah i hope you're joking about milo, you know the content is half sugar right - that isn't hyperbole, there's 40g of sugar for every 100g of milo. its also got a lot of maltodextrin and soy lecithin. i mean, enjoy by all means but its really, really bad for you and your kids.
@@oxlip I don't actually drink it, but I thought the malt was a healthy additive, so better than drinking chocolate! Nestle! 😏
@@jenniferharrison8915 unfortunately no, drinking straight up melted chocolate or even cocoa powder with sugar is far better than milo.
Chicken in a biscuit started in oz, had too much competition, was sold to the USA, then folk who liked it in oz, got it back, in a different box.
I could see that. Chicken flavor seems to be a lot more popular here
As a Gen X I do remember chicken in a biscuit!
Bakeries can't do good meat pies? Is this guy high? Who prefers factory frozen over a real pie?
Lmao the bakery one we that had that day was worse than frozen ones I’ve had in the past
@@gregjameson327It's really pot luck with bakeries - but when ppl find a good one, they'll often drive for miles just to get their fill 😅
@@gregjameson327You probably went to an Asian cheap bakery that sells crap pies.
Well he is from Melbourne.. LMAO. Have to go and protest that.. LOL. Aussies would get it
@@jasonfield8823I live in Melbourne.I agree with Fiona.Just the other day I drove past three bakeries to buy a superior bakery pie and a sausage roll.
NO!NO!NO! Pies are meant to be eaten hot straight from your local bakery none of this frozen crap from the supermarket
Haha we did put it in the microwave but yea it wasn’t straight out the store
@@gregjameson327 my heart hurt when I watched that lol
Vegemite is spread to taste. Bit less on the toast is better. I've never had it on toast just on bread. Spoon full is ok too it is an acquired taste. And yea vegemite is an industrial leftover from brewer's yeast extract a byproduct of beer manufacturing.
Need to also try wagon wheels biscuits and milk chocolate chocolate royals biscuits
I’ll throw it my 100 days video :)
10:25 no way. Frozen pies are pretty terrible. The best pies are the ones where the bottom case is hard enough to keep it's shape but soft enough that when you bite down, the filling doesn't fall out everywhere.
You gotta have tomato sauce with sausage rolls!
Cue: Aussies across the land stressing out because you're eating Vegemite off the spoon 😱😂 We had Nabisco Chicken-in-a-Biskit in Australia in the 70s and 80s. Might be called Chicken Crimpy now, I think.
lol I feel like you have to do the spoon of vegemite once ^
In 1919, following the disruption of British Marmite imports after World War I, the Australian company Fred Walker & Co. gave Cyril Callister the task of developing a spread from the used yeast being dumped by breweries.
What's old mate on about telling them a bakery pie isn't as good as a four n twenty lol. Bakery pies are awesome...
I can say 4n20’s are better than the ones we had ^
You have to put Tomato Sauce (Dead Horse) on the sausage roll.......
TIP! Open the top of the meat pie and place a thick slice of cheese on top of the meat.(Replace the top pastry.)Then heat until the cheese melts.. Enjoy with Rosella tomato sauce..
I actually cook some frozen peas to have with my meat pie! My favourite Angus Beef and Pepper, with barbecue or no sauce!
Tim Tam Slam.
Nahhh the slam is overrated^ too messy
I’m a senior, ok I’m 70😱lol. Born and bred Aussie and never had a Tim Tam slam in my life . U are ruining them lol. Just put my shopping away and yes, I bought a large pkt of original TimTams to be eaten, never to be dunked or slammed lol. 😊
@@bernadettelanders7306 no tim Tam dunk then you should try dunking ya Vegemite on toast in ya hot coffee mmm thank me later
@@shaneedwards6704
This is absolutely true. I don’t drink coffee, only tea. And I stopped eating Vegemite on toast and had jam for a few years. Went back to Vegemite and totally understood how foreigners don’t like it - it tasted so strong and so salty lol. I’m back on Vegemite & used to it again. And yes never a Tam Slam Gawd, I don’t even swear 😂. . I should be deported lol. Yes my ancestors have been in Aus from UK for a few generations lol
That must be the saddest looking meat pie ever. We have a saying for a really ugly beef pie; Someone's got a face like a dropped meat pie. wtf with the bit about a heated up frozen meat pie better than one from a bakery? Looks like it was microwaved too. Never! Milo too. Add a tiny bit of hot water and stir to partially dissolve the Milo before adding the milk to get both the flavoured milk and the crunchy floaters. Yes, like Ovaltine,,, a malted chocolate flavour. Vegemite, less is more, especially for beginners. Add more butter to the toast too. Classic fresh lamingtons from a bakery are way better than that prepackaged industrial preservative-laden thing from Coles that looked dried out and months old. CherryRipes are my opium. More calories in one than a whole day's allocation in day1 of WW diet. Someone forgot the Twisties though ,
Haha yea I’ve had better meat pie’s since being here ^I could definitely see lamingtons being better from a bakery^
He's not an aussie, doesn't like vegemite and never had a gaytime???
Haha I’ll tell him you said that
@gregjameson7338 and I forgot.....sausage rolls are Pork, my homemade are delicious 😋
Maybe it's a NSW thing.
@@ginagriffith2846 Most sausage rolls in Sydney are pork ones, I've never even seen a beef one.
100% agree!
That guy is definitely NOT Australian if he doesn't like vegemite!
I didn't grow up with vegemite but I like it and I have it every now and then. You have to be open minded and having Sam saying it's bad doesn't help.
Yea I don't think it swayed me too much to be honest. I would have again the proper way on toast. I could see it being pretty good if you made a breakfast sandwich with it
I've seen elite athletes down a tube of squezie Vegemite after a race. Full of vit B and stops the cramps
Shapes Chicken Crimpy is Chicken In a Biscuit.
Mate you need to hand ya Aussie card back your like the most unaustralian in the room
Lmao idt I ever had one. I’m not Aussie
You can’t be the control for Australia if you don’t even like Vegemite! Straight up Aussie fail!! And you definitely have to disregard any opinions about bakeries not being able to make better pies and sausage rolls than frozen equivalents, again just straight up incorrect!! Old mate needs to represent for himself and his questionable taste buds NOT as a true Aussie control! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Gahahaha
Sausage roll without Tomato sauce...nasty, and it's Chicken Crimpy Shapes or nothing!
Nah even without its pretty good
Vegemite is not Nutella. Good grief. Thinly, very thinly spread on toast or just plain bread.
Hahaha
A big thumbs down for dissing vegemite!
That Aussie is sketchy. No one with working taste buds prefers 4'n20's to a bakery pie.
