We've made a fairy bread redemption video! We definitely messed it up the first time but with your feedback we think we got it right. 🤗 Check it out here: th-cam.com/video/OvatFaLx5Hk/w-d-xo.html
Fairy bread is a staple at children's parties, especially for the ages from 3 up to about 9. Slices of bread are usually cut into 4 triangle shapes, so there is no big corner crust for young teeth. Don't worry about leftovers, the parents picking up their little darlings will scoff (eat) any leftovers, usually with a comment like;- "Oh, fairy bread, l haven't had that in years." Which actually means not since the last party l took my child to. It's nice to see visitors trying our foods, and enjoying them. You'll have to come back sometime.
My mum used to stick fairy bread in my school lunches sometimes :) Untoasted is the way to go though. I’ve never eaten it toasted. BBQ shapes are the best. The left over tomato powder at the bottom of the bag is the greatest.
@Duane Dibbley and I don’t think they left the Anzac biscuits open on the bench for a few days either, so they won’t get the proper experience there either🙁. We all know that is the only way to eat store bought right?
do yourself a favour and don't eat those shit mass produced lamingtons. if you buy them you get them from a bakery they come with cream inside usually. and they taste 1000 times better. you could easy get the recipe and make your own fresh ones. lamingtons are also common fund raisers for schools and sports they call it a lamington drive similar to a sausage sizzle being the name for a fund raiser using a snag on bread. alao got a chuckle about the solo "its very carbonated" solos ad slogan is light on the fizz so you can slam it down fast.
Ha! We have to take full credit for that, we just weren't sure how to do it. Seeing the comments we've received, it's obvious we did not get it right. 😂 We'll have to try again!
@@twotravelingkings Fairy bread is one thing that the PC (Politically Correct) crowd can't change because it's not a brand. There used to be Fairy Penguins. Now they're called Little Penguin (Australian penguin).
Funnily enough I ordered a ginger beer at a Doubletree by Hilton in Philadelphia and they bought me a bottle of Bundaberg ginger beer. So you do have it in the US.
Well done guys. Open minded and you smashed the Vegimite spread. Research how the ANZAC biscuits came to be. It an interesting fact and one of the reasons we still hold them dearly in our culture. Your choices were quite fair as well. I usually see foreigners trying stuff that I’ve never really heard off 👍🤓🇦🇺 Treat yourself to a real sausage sizzle 🌭
Hi Vegemite is a back up food that does not go off when siting in the cupboard for prolonged time, i often grab SAO's biscuits , snap them in half and smear into vegemite, but plain bread or toast bread its fine, just dont smear to much For me the tim tam slam is bite one end then use it as a straw on your hot coffee - better than a moccachino !! :)
Nice video guys & you're the 1st Americans doing this type of video that did the vegemite the right way. Some people prefer it spread on thick but i'm an Aussie that enjoys it the way you did it lol.
Thanks for watching! We became big fans of Vegemite, after Jenny's co-worker taught us how to eat it properly 😊 we brought plenty Vegemite back with us to the US. Our families however aren't big fans like us.. haha
@@twotravelingkings It divides families in Australia too. In my immediate family of four I am the only one that likes it. Also I eat it the same way you do, a thin spread is the way to go.
God bless your yankee souls for not just doing Vegemite the right way, but enjoying it also. If you apply for residency adding this to your application will go a long way.
Glad you now enjoy some veggie on toast... but your toast needs to be toasted more and spread with lots of real butter not margarine and to really enjoy have with a cup tea.
Try the Anzac biscuits in the bakery section from either Woolies or Coles they are more like a proper Anzac biscuits more of a soft crunch 👍🏼 they are delicious 🤤
@@twotravelingkings the best Anzac biscuits are the home baked ones from scratch. I have my grandmothers recipe and they are delicious. So much tastier than the ones you buy at a supermarket
Ah yes, an Aussie friend pointed that out to us. Unfortunately, it's all the IGA had during the crazy pandemic buying. We'll have to try it again with the real stuff!
If you like Woolworths lamingtons, then you will love going to a real bakery and getting lamingtons freshly made on the premises. Same with meat pies, there is a world of difference between pies bought from the supermarket and pies made by a real baker. There is a lot of coconut in Australian food because 54% of the country is in the tropics, and the country is a large producer of tropical fruits like bananas, mangoes, coconuts, etc. if you go to North Queensland you will see coconut palms all along the coast.
You are so right! We tried lamingtons and meat pies from a local bakery and they were so delicious! We made sure to get both during our last week in Australia. We definitely plan on seeing more of Queensland when we come back 😊 we'll look for the trees!
Lamingtons were originally home-made, using segments of day old cake that is beginning to go a bit dry. Rolling it in chocolate sauce makes the cake moist again, and the coconut enhances the flavour and makes it less messy to handle.
@@tacitdionysus3220 So nostagic. I am 83 and my Mother made a batch of lamingtons once week. With four young children in the house a sponge cake never sat around long enough to become "A day old" to form the basis of a traditional lamington. As we lived in Sydney a day old sponge was always dried out, so my Mother used to make an additional sponge, which she cooked in a rectangular tray, instead of the traditional 8 inch round cake tin. Then she would leave it for a day before she let me cut it up into cubes. But the real treat was that because she always made the lamingtons on Sunday, she would make an extra bowl of choclate iceing and stir the remaining desiccated coconut into the very stiff icing mix, then roll the mix into balls, which she would pack into the brown paper bag that contained our sandwiches packed into brown paper bags. But the big treat was when I was given enough money to go to the Bakery, in the shopping strip near the school to buy a pie with sauce and a freshly baked Boston Bun. 75 years later that's still my favourite lunch snack, because there is still an old fashioned Lunch Shop, in Clarendon Street South Melbourne, that still make their own pies, pasties and sausages rolls, along with a range of traditional "Biscuits" while the nearby Old Paper Shop Deli makes what are the best lamingtons that I have ever bought. Phil.
Love this video guys. Logan, fairy bread isn't supposed to be toasted...lol You're definitely Aussie when you like Vegemite toast. Go and get yourself a vanilla slice. A real one with custard middle and the nice slimy white topping. Best found in good bakeries.
These guys are pretty likable. Tips: The best Anzac biscuits are homemade, they're super easy to make. Try the Wagon Wheel instead of the Arnott (pronounced AR-Not) Iced Vovo. I think Iced Vovos are a favorite of little old ladies. Fairy Bread - children love it at birthday parties due to how pretty it is, not so much the nutritional value or taste. You need very soft white bread and you need to press the hundreds and thousands into the bread a bit for it to stick to the butter. I'm glad to see you like Vegemite and eat it properly (sparingly). Try it on crisp buttered toast cut into strips (soldiers) dipped into a soft boiled egg. The best way to enjoy Vegemite! Good effort guys!
Thanks for watching and for the tips on expanding our Aussie pallets! 😊 We might have to try to make Anzac biscuits (don't think they have them in the US). We love Vegemite toast with egg but haven't tried it that way. Will have to give it a go!
Just a tip with the tim tams, get the double thick chocolate tim tam in the blue packet and refrigerate it first. The outside doesn't dissolve as quick so you can really suck the guts out of it.
I really enjoyed watching your video. You seem such a nice couple. Good on you for doing your research before trying these snacks. That saved you making fools of yourselves like some Americans do in this type of video. ;)
Thanks so much for the kind words Graham, we're so glad to know you enjoyed the video! 😊 We definitely tried our best to research though we now know we did fairy bread all wrong 😂
I found that out the hard way when I was travelling through the States with my mother in the early 1980s. We stopped at a diner in Charleston and ordered lunch and a pitcher of lemonade, and were surprised at what the Americans call lemonade - very different from what we Aussies call lemonade (which Americans refer to as 7 Up)
Just came upon this video by chance. Nice to see someone try our Aussie food with an open mind. Thankyou. Fun video. Hope you had a great time over here.
For anyone interested in trying the ginger beer, you have to invert the bottle (not shake, just slowly turn it upside down and back again) a few times to get the ginger to mix into the drink, then cheers!
I agree - these two probably just about earned themselves citizenship with this effort, after all, they've proven that they can pass the "Australian Values" test :D
@@TheSummerWarrior12 I know right? I'm 36 and I have never heard of toasted fairy bread. It's supposed to be something served at a kids party, so it has to be untoasted or it would go cold
Try eating Milo dry out of the container with a spoon, and see what happens... LOL.. (It sucks all the moisture out of your mouth, but it's fun and very tasty!)
@@lancetuckey6403 I remember I made this for me kids. They called it Milo icecream. I do put them in the fridge to cool down, it's their treat after school. Incentive to make their home works.
@@twotravelingkings Next time you have a Bundy ginger beer read the label. You are supposed to invert the bottle first to get the "dregs" off the bottom. PS. The lite is as good as the heavy.
@@twotravelingkings don't apologise for toasting the bread...even though that is really wrong.... I mean really wrong...apologise for not using butter....health is not the point when your making fairy bread.....is the sarcastic Australian humour coming back you.... I bet you miss it
Didn’t realise iced vovo’s were still a thing. Even when I was a kid they seemed like the kind of old fashion thing your grandmother would serve with tea.
I used to like them as a little girl, but that was probably because they were pink. I remember using my teeth to scrape off the icing and jam first before finishing the rest of the biscuit.
Hey Jenny and Logan, there’s a major rule with ginger beer. You’re supposed to invert the bottle before you take the lid off. This is because a lot of the ginger settles at the bottom. It improves the overall taste also :) ......check the label :)
Two Traveling Kings - You’re welcome. Loved your video. So awesome to see people’s opinion of Australia. (I’m Australian) so yeh loved ur video guys!!!
You 2 are virtually true blue dinkum Aussies and Ive only watched 3 vids so far. As I said before take out citizenship and with all your annual leave you can go home for the fall and occasional NFL match. Just kidding..........or am I. Loved all your vids. Stay safe.
You might be on to something there . . . 😏 It was so hard to leave Australia has a lot going for it. We can't wait to make a trip back soon when it's safe. Thanks for watching! 😊
Great video guys, and nice to see you back! Glad you're surviving the lockdown. There's other sweet treats such as Minties, Fantales, Fry's Turkish Delight ... and the iconic Vanilla Slice, the best ones come from bakeries. 👍👍👍👍 I'm not a fan of Iced Vovos either ... many years ago, the fondant was more of a marshmallow base and it was way nicer.
I came on here to mention the Iced Vovos too. They were very much a marshmallow , jam coconut biscuit back in the day. Much nicer.Vanilla slice purchase them from small bakeries ONLY. Great video guys. Stay safe at home.
They should check that their health insurance includes dental before trying Minties or Fantales. Oh, and they should try Jaffas, too. The Fry's Turkish Delight really doesn't do it for me. I like real Turkish delight, not that other stuff that's a strange shade of pink and way too similar to gristle in texture. I've never really been an Iced VoVo fan, so I didn't realise they'd changed the recipe.
+@@kayelle8005 Me too, way, way back they were more of a cross between a coconut ice and marshmallow with real rasberry jam spread thickly on a softer biscuit base. Hence the name.
Australian power points have on/off switches. Just plugging an appliance in as Americans do won't make the appliance work. It's an extra layer of safety.
pw510577w Yes, It’s probably because the Australian electricity supply is 240 V and if you had no switch and just pull the plug out like you do in the US you would get more sparking and burning of the wall socket and probably it’ll be a bit more dangerous
Two Traveling Kings You can get vegemite from amazon if you run out of your supply. But much more expensive because it’s imported. Will be great if you bring some of aussie anacks back home and let your friends have a taste in a future video when it’s safe to do so.
OMG THIS! I only just discovered this combination about a year ago (34yo Queenslander).. I feel like I’ve robbed myself so many years of this amazing combo 😩
@@hailskatean : Americans often have a tendency to put the emphasis on the second syllable, instead of the first. They do this with a lot of words, not just "Arnotts".
Pro tip : those pieces of ginger in the bottom of the ginger beer - you're supposed to tip the bottle upside down for a bit before opening (don't shake) so they are throughout the whole drink instead of just at the bottom.
@@twotravelingkings It is a very weird USA english thing I notice. UK english pronounces all the letters in the correctly spelt caramel, maybe you mis-spell the word??
I know you two like Vegemite. I'm an Aussie who doesn't like it general. But my family has a way of eating that tastes amazing. 2 Nephews of mine came to visit, they hadn't wanted to eat it for years. Their Dad was a Vegemite fanatic, who liked to slather it on. I made myself some Vegemite and Cottage Cheese. I gave them some to try and they were hooked, they went through Cottage Cheese like it was going out style. Simply Toast your bread, then spread on Vegemite and Top with a Thick layer of Cottage Cheese. In Australia we have a variety called Creamed Cottage Cheese, it best for Vegemite and Cottage Cheese. People complain that Cottage Cheese is too Bland and Vegemite is too Strong. But together it balances out. It's the only way I eat Vegemite, as far as I'm concerned It's Heaven.
The proper way to eat Cheezels is to put one on each finger wiggle your fingers around for a second and then chomp them off each finger without going through to the finger itself xD
Glad you chose the right brand of Ginger Beer. I grew up in the city of Bundaberg. It's also famous for Bundaberg Rum. You should try a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the ginger beer. It's the best!
Wow how interesting! We'd definitely try the vanilla ice cream in the ginger beer even though it sounds like it could be quite a different flavor. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching 😊
@@twotravelingkings This makes me think of something called spiders not the arachnids but a soft drink/soda with vanilla ice-cream in it, although I have never had one with ginger beer I might also try that.
+@@plypayj3 They are the best spiders, though I suggest Stones, Saxby's or Kirks for spiders. Bundaberg is much sweeter as are most things produced in Queensland.
Your Aussies with an american accent because true Americans don't like Vegimite. On a serious note when you get back to the states and you are invited to a child's birthday party make them some fairy bread .
2 things first with Bundaberg you give the bottles a bit of a lite shake or rotate end over end because they have more solids in their drinks and you should try Bundaberg Lemonade its so good also do the end over end to mix a little
Nooooo they toasted the fairy bread LOL.........you don’t have it on toast....someone was pulling your leg......your also cut off the crusts. Also you do it with hundreds and thousands....not sprinkles.
@@twotravelingkings i hope you get to continue your travels soon once this pandemic ends , and as for flat white coffee it is just coffee and milk that has been heated and frothed , easy peasy
Love it! Yes us too, we miss traveling. Good news is a coffee shop where we just moved serves Flat Whites. and they do it right 😊 might have to make a video about it
Some of us Aussies don't like to admit it, but that brand, 'Arnott's', who produces a couple of the products you tried, is owned by an American company - Campbell's. They were once Aussie owned but the big money Campbell's corporation came in and bought them. There's a better way to enjoy your Tim Tams - straight out of the freezer. Crisp as crisp and delightful. Not many Aussies know of this one.
So happy to see American's apply the correct amount of Vegemite! I've been eating it my whole life & you applied more than even I do! I like several dabs over the slice of toast but I know people who like it quite thick😕 Mostly we just see videos of American's eating a spoonful of it & gagging...duh?! I'd gag too!
Here in Australia it's Impossible to make Smores. You can get Hershey Chocolate and the Big Roaster Marshmallows. But the Company Refuses to Import Graham Crackers. I don't even know what they're like, so I don't know what I substitute for them.
As an Aussie I *CRINGE* whenever people use vegemite incorrectly like adding too much on the toast and not even adding butter and also just eating it by itself
And if you look at the shapes box, the background is the shape of the shape you will find inside. My favourite flavours are the original barbeque, vegemite and original savoury. Hopefully some day you get to try a real sausage sizzle Edit: You can cook homemade anzac biscuits (my favourite treat) at home. My favourite is the chewy kind, so if you look up a recipe for chewy anzac biscuits you can have that as well. ANZAC bisucits were made to send to Australian loved-ones soldiers during World War (idk if it’s 1/2) because it wouldn’t go off when you sent it.
You didn't do the Milo right! You're meant to eat heaped teaspoons of it out of the tin, and it sticks to the roof of your mouth, and you inadvertently breathe in and nearly choke to death! hahaha! I love these videos though, guys. It's awesome to see ppl from other countries trying our foods! xxoo
Oh yuk, musk sticks are disgusting! My husband buys them sometimes and even the smell revolts me. When I was a child I loved Choo-choo bars. They were thin, longish, chewy rectangles of licorice lolly. I was forbidden to eat them because of likely tooth decay. However I did buy them sometimes as a walking home (slowly) treat after going to the kids' matinee at the local picture theatre. I had to rub my teeth clean of the tell-tale licorice stain before I arrived home. 🍬
@@twotravelingkings if you like Milo on ice cream, you've gotta try Milo on Weet-Bix - 2 Weet-Bix in a bowl(side by side, not stacked on top of each other), ice cold milk, a light sprinkle of sugar, and then smother it in Milo, let it sit for a minute or two to let the weet-bix get a little bit soft, then hook in...manna from heaven! or if you don't have time to wait, grab a Sanitarium "Up & Go", according to advertising, it's the "equivalent of 2 weet-bix and milk in a handy brick" (like a juice box). I like either the banana or the vanilla flavoured, but it's gotta be cold! Hope you can come back when all "this" is over, also hope you made it home in ok. :))

Toast is Australia’s National dish. You need to roll the Bundaberg ginger beer around to get the sediment off the bottom
Did not know that tip about the Bundaberg. Will be sure to do that next time 😊
Iced Vovos always seem better in theory than they are in reality.

Ahhh! Vanilla Slices also colloquially known as 'Snot Blocks'.
+Jackie Walker The traditional topping was passionfruit icing.
They sent ANZAC biscuits over to the army because they didn’t go bad
Loved the ANZAC biscuits! Even brought some home from Australia 😊 thanks for watching!
they were also popular because they did not require flour to make them.
that's the originals recipe anyway. Modern ones do use flour.
Interesting! We loved them as after dinner treats or as a sweet treat with a coffee. Thanks for sharing some of the history 😊
Though the biscuits at the time compared to what they are now is quite different, they were bland (sugar included now) and much tougher
These guys are pretty likable.
Tips:
The best Anzac biscuits are homemade, they're super easy to make.
Try the Wagon Wheel instead of the Arnott (pronounced AR-Not) Iced Vovo. I think Iced Vovos are a favorite of little old ladies.

Thanks for watching and for the tips on expanding our Aussie pallets! 😊 We might have to try to make Anzac biscuits (don't think they have them in the US). We love Vegemite toast with egg but haven't tried it that way. Will have to give it a go!
Hugo perfect Post! And yes the Wagon Wheel “Eat the Wagon Wheel”
Vegemite is also great with avo instead of butter and topped with a sprinkle of cracked pepper if you like :)
Not even old ladies like vovos, they only buy them because their grandchildren won't eat them.
Skalicon lol 😂😂😂 so true😂😂
Just a tip with the tim tams, get the double thick chocolate tim tam in the blue packet and refrigerate it first. The outside doesn't dissolve as quick so you can really suck the guts out of it.
Solid 👍
I really enjoyed watching your video. You seem such a nice couple. Good on you for doing your research before trying these snacks. That saved you making fools of yourselves like some Americans do in this type of video. ;)
Thanks so much for the kind words Graham, we're so glad to know you enjoyed the video! 😊 We definitely tried our best to research though we now know we did fairy bread all wrong 😂
Solo would actually be referred to as lemon squash, what us aussies call lemonade is basically Sprite or 7up
Huh! We had no idea. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I found that out the hard way when I was travelling through the States with my mother in the early 1980s. We stopped at a diner in Charleston and ordered lunch and a pitcher of lemonade, and were surprised at what the Americans call lemonade - very different from what we Aussies call lemonade (which Americans refer to as 7 Up)
Tod Davis O yes you’re absolutely right, spot on!
What of Schweppes Lemonade? Another brand is Kirks.
You build up a tolerance to Vegemite over decades, until it ends up being 1/4" thick on toast with cheese or cream cheese.
That's believable! We've already started adding more 😊
I've been eating Vegemite since I was 2 or 3 so I can lay it on thicker these days.
I could eat it straight I love it so much
There's no such thing as to thick vegimite. The thicker the better
Put it on crumpets, butter Vegemite and cream cheese. Yumm
FINALLY americans who know how to eat vegemite
We love our Vegemite! Thanks for watching 😊
Just came upon this video by chance. Nice to see someone try our Aussie food with an open mind. Thankyou. Fun video. Hope you had a great time over here.
Thanks for the kind words Julia 😊 we had a great time in Australia! Loved Sydney. Thanks for watching!
For anyone interested in trying the ginger beer, you have to invert the bottle (not shake, just slowly turn it upside down and back again) a few times to get the ginger to mix into the drink, then cheers!
We loved the ginger beer, spicy and sweet. Thanks for the tip 😊
Ginger Beer? Odd choice. Well done on the Solo though 👍🏻
Goes really well with a dash of Bundy rum
Hooray
Vegemite and tim tam slams done correctly
We tried! Thanks for watching! 😊
I agree - these two probably just about earned themselves citizenship with this effort, after all, they've proven that they can pass the "Australian Values" test :D
@@daveamies5031 I think so too. Honorary citizens lol. They both seem so lovely too. They should try BBQ shapes. My fav.
They TOASTED fairy bread!? Though wtf
@@TheSummerWarrior12 I know right? I'm 36 and I have never heard of toasted fairy bread. It's supposed to be something served at a kids party, so it has to be untoasted or it would go cold
Next one to try is the Pavlova
Pavlova was good! Someone made it at a new years party last year. Crunchy, light, sweet and delicious!
Try eating Milo dry out of the container with a spoon, and see what happens... LOL..
(It sucks all the moisture out of your mouth, but it's fun and very tasty!)
Lol may have done that before...
If you want to be really bad.....try about half Milo and half cream....mix to a thick paste..eat with a spoon....it doesn't get any better.....enjoy.
@@lancetuckey6403 I remember I made this for me kids. They called it Milo icecream. I do put them in the fridge to cool down, it's their treat after school. Incentive to make their home works.
Bundaberg is real ginger beer and it's actually good for an upset stomach
We liked it!
@@twotravelingkings Next time you have a Bundy ginger beer read the label. You are supposed to invert the bottle first to get the "dregs" off the bottom. PS. The lite is as good as the heavy.
hahahah after reading all the comments seems your biggest fans are the ones who are impressed you spread your Vegemite right , keep up the good work
We have Jenny's Australian friends to thank! They taught us how to make and enjoy Vegemite toast and we're still eating it back here in the US! 😋
You don’t toast fairy bread!!!
A few people have told us we did it wrong lol we did not mean to offend. But the toasted one was pretty tasty 😊 a delicious mistake!
I almost spat my coffee out when the word toasted was mentioned at this point lol
@@twotravelingkings don't apologise for toasting the bread...even though that is really wrong.... I mean really wrong...apologise for not using butter....health is not the point when your making fairy bread.....is the sarcastic Australian humour coming back you.... I bet you miss it
@@timothyjames9768 We made a redemption video! th-cam.com/video/OvatFaLx5Hk/w-d-xo.html
@@CMaiers We made a redemption vid... haha th-cam.com/video/OvatFaLx5Hk/w-d-xo.html sorry about that!
I’m so impressed that you guys actually eat the vegemite the way it’s supposed to be eaten with butter and bread not just on a spoon by itself 👍🏻👍🏻
We had a very kind Australian friend that taught is the right way 😊
The fact that you put Vegemite first both of you makes you both can live here in Australia quite easily
We love Vegemite now! 😊
Didn’t realise iced vovo’s were still a thing. Even when I was a kid they seemed like the kind of old fashion thing your grandmother would serve with tea.
Haha they weren't our favorites
I used to like them as a little girl, but that was probably because they were pink. I remember using my teeth to scrape off the icing and jam first before finishing the rest of the biscuit.
Iced vovos are the shit, i can eat half a pack in a sitting
@@nightrider7850 i might not eat half the pack but when ihave them I’ll have as many as possible
Love your videos. You both have great personalities for this kind of thing.
Thanks for the kind words! Had fun with this video 😊 even tho we felt a bit sick after eating all that sugar...
Hey Jenny and Logan, there’s a major rule with ginger beer. You’re supposed to invert the bottle before you take the lid off. This is because a lot of the ginger settles at the bottom. It improves the overall taste also :) ......check the label :)
Ah right good tip! Thanks for watching 😊
Two Traveling Kings - You’re welcome. Loved your video. So awesome to see people’s opinion of Australia. (I’m Australian) so yeh loved ur video guys!!!
@@CMaiers thanks! Means a lot 😊
Left off the Violet Crumble kiddos, you'll have to import some back to the States
Tried the violet crumble golden gaytime and wow 😍
Never ever have I had toasted fairy bread. That is weird
😂 Fair enough!
You 2 are virtually true blue dinkum Aussies and Ive only watched 3 vids so far. As I said before take out citizenship and with all your annual leave you can go home for the fall and occasional NFL match. Just kidding..........or am I. Loved all your vids. Stay safe.
You might be on to something there . . . 😏 It was so hard to leave Australia has a lot going for it. We can't wait to make a trip back soon when it's safe. Thanks for watching! 😊
When i was little i used to eat just the marshmallow part of iced VoVo's and then threw out the biscuit lol
😳 too much sugar! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Hi Jen, best part of VoVo, of course Mom never saw that. Year right!
whoops, thats yeah not year. Wow, this is a nice Cab Sav.
@@stephenmcdonald7713 Cab sauv!. My favourite!!!
Freak! 😁 🤣
I’m from Australia, I really don’t like vovos nither
Yeah just not for us!
I’m an Aussie and I hate vovos
There bloody terrible.....
Great video guys, and nice to see you back! Glad you're surviving the lockdown. There's other sweet treats such as Minties, Fantales, Fry's Turkish Delight ... and the iconic Vanilla Slice, the best ones come from bakeries. 👍👍👍👍 I'm not a fan of Iced Vovos either ... many years ago, the fondant was more of a marshmallow base and it was way nicer.
Thanks for watching Dean! We'll have to see if we can get our hands on some of those to try! 😊
I came on here to mention the Iced Vovos too. They were very much a marshmallow , jam coconut biscuit back in the day. Much nicer.Vanilla slice purchase them from small bakeries ONLY. Great video guys. Stay safe at home.
I miss the old iced vovos
They should check that their health insurance includes dental before trying Minties or Fantales. Oh, and they should try Jaffas, too.
The Fry's Turkish Delight really doesn't do it for me. I like real Turkish delight, not that other stuff that's a strange shade of pink and way too similar to gristle in texture.
I've never really been an Iced VoVo fan, so I didn't realise they'd changed the recipe.
+@@kayelle8005 Me too, way, way back they were more of a cross between a coconut ice and marshmallow with real rasberry jam spread thickly on a softer biscuit base. Hence the name.
The first video like this trying Aussie food I have seen without screwing anything up. Nice work!
Apparently we did fairy bread wrong... Haha many people took offence to that lol but thanks for your kind words! 😊
Australian power points have on/off switches. Just plugging an appliance in as Americans do won't make the appliance work. It's an extra layer of safety.
Ah yes, we missed that one! Honestly it makes so much more sense to have the on/off switches. Thanks for sharing! 😊
pw510577w Yes, It’s probably because the Australian electricity supply is 240 V and if you had no switch and just pull the plug out like you do in the US you would get more sparking and burning of the wall socket and probably it’ll be a bit more dangerous
Very impressed that you actually like vegemite and you spread it perfectly. Well done.
Had to bring some Vegemite back with us to the US! Thanks for watching :)
Two Traveling Kings You can get vegemite from amazon if you run out of your supply. But much more expensive because it’s imported.
Will be great if you bring some of aussie anacks back home and let your friends have a taste in a future video when it’s safe to do so.
Thanks for the tip! Check out our welcome home video, we had some family try Vegemite. Some liked it, some didn't 😁 thanks for watching 😊
For the chicken crimpies, you have to try them with french onion dip, it is delicious.
Love onion dip! We usually have it with plain Lays potato chips but that sounds delicious. Thanks for the tip! 😊
OMG THIS! I only just discovered this combination about a year ago (34yo Queenslander).. I feel like I’ve robbed myself so many years of this amazing combo 😩
lol, the brand Arnotts is pronounced AH NETS or R NETS .. ARE NOTS sounds so weird :p
Ha! 😂 Guess our accents got the best of us there
This is a typical thing Americans mispronounce I have noticed
@@hailskatean : Americans often have a tendency to put the emphasis on the second syllable, instead of the first. They do this with a lot of words, not just "Arnotts".
If anybody from o'seas likes a little alchohol on a hot day, for something different, try a Bundaberg rum and coke. Please grin and enjoy.
Sounds different, but good! Thanks for watching 😊
@@twotravelingkings Called a "dark and stormy"
@@allangoodger969 No a 'Dark and Stormy" is with ginger beer. I know because I love it and hate the taste of coke.
Pro tip : those pieces of ginger in the bottom of the ginger beer - you're supposed to tip the bottle upside down for a bit before opening (don't shake) so they are throughout the whole drink instead of just at the bottom.
Sounds good, will do that next time :)
Wow, it would never have occurred to me to toast the fairy bread bread! Do we really do that somewhere in Oz?!
It wasn't bad to be honest! Thanks for watching 😊
The clue is in the name, fairy bread, not fairy toast.
This was the first time I have heard of this and I have been an Australian for 44years now.👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
I know from your fairy bread video that you learnt that it must be with butter lol vegemite must be with butter also :)
😊
Carmel is a girl's name, carAmel is different
Funny you mention that 😂 I (Jenny) always pronounce it that way, maybe I'm just strange!
@@twotravelingkings It is a very weird USA english thing I notice. UK english pronounces all the letters in the correctly spelt caramel, maybe you mis-spell the word??
I know you two like Vegemite. I'm an Aussie who doesn't like it general. But my family has a way of eating that tastes amazing. 2 Nephews of mine came to visit, they hadn't wanted to eat it for years. Their Dad was a Vegemite fanatic, who liked to slather it on. I made myself some Vegemite and Cottage Cheese. I gave them some to try and they were hooked, they went through Cottage Cheese like it was going out style. Simply Toast your bread, then spread on Vegemite and Top with a Thick layer of Cottage Cheese. In Australia we have a variety called Creamed Cottage Cheese, it best for Vegemite and Cottage Cheese. People complain that Cottage Cheese is too Bland and Vegemite is too Strong. But together it balances out. It's the only way I eat Vegemite, as far as I'm concerned It's Heaven.
Interesting combo! 😊
The proper way to eat Cheezels is to put one on each finger wiggle your fingers around for a second and then chomp them off each finger without going through to the finger itself xD
I'm sure it makes them taste better :)
Youse done the milo wrong,
When youse have it hot you add like 2 table spoons.
When u have it cold u have like 4 tablespoons and u don’t mix it in.
Lol nice!
Glad you chose the right brand of Ginger Beer. I grew up in the city of Bundaberg. It's also famous for Bundaberg Rum. You should try a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the ginger beer. It's the best!
Wow how interesting! We'd definitely try the vanilla ice cream in the ginger beer even though it sounds like it could be quite a different flavor. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching 😊
What's the Rum like? What's your mixer?
@@blinkybill2198 It's a dark rum. The most usual mixers are coca cola or ginger ale.
@@twotravelingkings This makes me think of something called spiders not the arachnids but a soft drink/soda with vanilla ice-cream in it, although I have never had one with ginger beer I might also try that.
+@@plypayj3 They are the best spiders, though I suggest Stones, Saxby's or Kirks for spiders. Bundaberg is much sweeter as are most things produced in Queensland.
Your Aussies with an american accent because true Americans don't like Vegimite. On a serious note when you get back to the states and you are invited to a child's birthday party make them some fairy bread .
Haha I'm sure fairy bread will be a great hit! If we make it correctly.. lol
Of course I literally have a pack of chicken crimpys in my hand as I’m watching this. Go us aussies and our legendary snacks 🤘🏻
Very tasty 😊
Cheezels are best eaten by having one on each finger.
Love it! 😊
Another favourite at kids parties. And yes as kids we would stock up and then eat them off our fingers, lol. Messy fun :)
2 things first with Bundaberg you give the bottles a bit of a lite shake or rotate end over end because they have more solids in their drinks and you should try Bundaberg Lemonade its so good also do the end over end to mix a little
Nice!
you did the tim tam slam the right way, i have seen so many americans do it the wrong way
Yes! We will admit it wasn't our first one but still good to know we got it right 😊
G'day mates, When y'all in Australia, I can tell you whoever told you to eat fairy toast be pulling ya leg.
No one told us to haha, our own doing 😊
Kids usually put a cheezel on each finger like a ring and then eat them😄
Was a fun way to eat them :)
Edible rings.
Nooooo they toasted the fairy bread LOL.........you don’t have it on toast....someone was pulling your leg......your also cut off the crusts. Also you do it with hundreds and thousands....not sprinkles.
you should make some chocolate crackles which is another kids birthday favourite and you can do that when u r back in the usa
Just had to google what they are, they look tasty! Thanks for watching 😊
@@twotravelingkings i hope you get to continue your travels soon once this pandemic ends , and as for flat white coffee it is just coffee and milk that has been heated and frothed , easy peasy
Love it! Yes us too, we miss traveling. Good news is a coffee shop where we just moved serves Flat Whites. and they do it right 😊 might have to make a video about it
All good.. Arnotts is pronounced arnets by the way.. Cheers
Oops 😬
Some of us Aussies don't like to admit it, but that brand, 'Arnott's', who produces a couple of the products you tried, is owned by an American company - Campbell's.
They were once Aussie owned but the big money Campbell's corporation came in and bought them.
There's a better way to enjoy your Tim Tams - straight out of the freezer. Crisp as crisp and delightful. Not many Aussies know of this one.
Ohhhh Tim tams out the freezer sound great, maybe with some vanilla ice cream and Milo?
@@twotravelingkings milo on weetbixs or any cereals
+Bill Saltbush Same can be said of Vegemite, bought by Kraft and no longer made to the original recipe and tastes nothing like it.
So happy to see American's apply the correct amount of Vegemite! I've been eating it my whole life & you applied more than even I do! I like several dabs over the slice of toast but I know people who like it quite thick😕 Mostly we just see videos of American's eating a spoonful of it & gagging...duh?! I'd gag too!
Love our vegemite! 😊
ARGH!! Second item on the list - fairy bread - THAT'S NOT BUTTER!! It makes a HUGE difference!
We've learned we did fairy bread all wrong 🤣 we'll have to give it another go
yeah and the wrong topping too, meant to use the little round ball hundreds and thousands
pizza shapes!!!!
😊
Here in Australia it's Impossible to make Smores. You can get Hershey Chocolate and the Big Roaster Marshmallows. But the Company Refuses to Import Graham Crackers. I don't even know what they're like, so I don't know what I substitute for them.
Haha you'll have to try them in the US sometime!
Filipino stores have them Graham Bikkies. That's where I buy them. A tip from a Filipino friends.
Wow, I will literally rip thru a packet of vovo’s in about 10mins if I’m not paying attention to how much I’m eating!
You can have em 🤢lol thanks for watching! 😊
Sorry but iced vovos are revolting.......and yes, I am Australian. You can have my share too. Golden Gaytimes on the other hand.......those are MINE!!
5:14 I hate solo, idk what you guys are gonna think but it’s way to sour and lemony for me... lol
As an Aussie I *CRINGE* whenever people use vegemite incorrectly like adding too much on the toast and not even adding butter and also just eating it by itself
That's definitely understandable! 😂
I do all of those but I'm Aussie😂
@@matthewkirk6373 me to
In Australia we call sausage sizzles, sausage sangas
👍
Me showing my family abroad how to do a tim tam slam all ,meanwhile it’s also my first time doing a tim tam slam 😅
Ha! 😂 Good luck!
FINALLY someone knows how to use Vegemite
We like our vegemite :)
And if you look at the shapes box, the background is the shape of the shape you will find inside. My favourite flavours are the original barbeque, vegemite and original savoury. Hopefully some day you get to try a real sausage sizzle
Edit: You can cook homemade anzac biscuits (my favourite treat) at home. My favourite is the chewy kind, so if you look up a recipe for chewy anzac biscuits you can have that as well. ANZAC bisucits were made to send to Australian loved-ones soldiers during World War (idk if it’s 1/2) because it wouldn’t go off when you sent it.
The chewy kind are my (Jenny) favorite as well! Thank you so much for sharing we'll have to make those 😊
You didn't do the Milo right! You're meant to eat heaped teaspoons of it out of the tin, and it sticks to the roof of your mouth, and you inadvertently breathe in and nearly choke to death! hahaha! I love these videos though, guys. It's awesome to see ppl from other countries trying our foods! xxoo
And the 'Tim Tam slams' are actually called 'bickie bongs' ;)
Thanks so much 😊
I'm Aussie and I've never even thought to have fairy toast instead of fairy bread. That's so weird that I might have to try it
It wasn't bad to be fair! Haha
I might try that for breaky this morning toasted fairy bread. Hahaha
With the Anzac biscuits they only have dry ingredients bc that is what families could send to their family out at war amd they wouldn’t go off
Interesting!
Omg thank you
Bread! Bread for fairy bread! Not toast. Never toast. And it has to be 100's and 1000's. Not sprinkles. Destroyed it. smh
Haha, expect a redemption video in the future 😊 thanks for watching!
Gotta have some cheese on your vegemite toast
True 👍
Love you guys and your videos. You are a sweet couple.
Thanks for the kind words! 😊
Another aussie favorite is a slice of bread , spread a layer of jam then add some whipped cream on top yum
That's a new one!
@@twotravelingkings you need to try it
Ummm, that’s not butter, it’s chemical waste. Try it with butter. 😉
Love the attempt at the Aussie accents lol after all these snacks you probably have a sore stomach,good video hope you enjoy your stay here.
Oh my we felt sick after this... haha
Finally some yanks who know how to spread vegimite 👍🏻👍🏻
We had good Australian teachers! :)
There are lollies that I love but all americans seem to hate and that's musk sticks and Frys Turkish Delight.
Don't think we've ever tried either of them! Will do if we see them now though 😊
Oh yuk, musk sticks are disgusting! My husband buys them sometimes and even the smell revolts me. When I was a child I loved Choo-choo bars. They were thin, longish, chewy rectangles of licorice lolly. I was forbidden to eat them because of likely tooth decay. However I did buy them sometimes as a walking home (slowly) treat after going to the kids' matinee at the local picture theatre. I had to rub my teeth clean of the tell-tale licorice stain before I arrived home. 🍬
@@lr5450 Funny, but each to there own I guess.
@@Toobeegort Definitely! 🌻
Milo is my life's blood. Best served in cold glass of milk & stir but it does not dissolve as Nes quik does.
Haha, my favorite was Milo over some vanilla ice cream! 😊
I mix the Milo with a tiny bit of hot water before adding the milk so that it dissolves.
Genius
@@twotravelingkings I do that too lol & sometimes i make a regular coffee & add a tea spoon of Milo. I call it a Milatte lol.
@@twotravelingkings if you like Milo on ice cream, you've gotta try Milo on Weet-Bix - 2 Weet-Bix in a bowl(side by side, not stacked on top of each other), ice cold milk, a light sprinkle of sugar, and then smother it in Milo, let it sit for a minute or two to let the weet-bix get a little bit soft, then hook in...manna from heaven! or if you don't have time to wait, grab a Sanitarium "Up & Go", according to advertising, it's the "equivalent of 2 weet-bix and milk in a handy brick" (like a juice box). I like either the banana or the vanilla flavoured, but it's gotta be cold!
Hope you can come back when all "this" is over, also hope you made it home in ok. :))
I don't mean to offend anyone. But I hate Cheezels!
