Common misunderstanding - Chicken Salt is not chicken flavoured, it's a salty seasoning mix to use on rotisserie chickens to give the skin some flavour, which people started using on the chips.
actually some ppl use salt that is flavoured with chicken.. not the chicken seasoning.
And no matter what any fun police at Bunnings claim, the onion definitely belongs on TOP of the sausage, not underneath.
Onion under the snag, then sauce on top only to roll it around, so there is sauce on the onion too. Alas I haven't been able to have a bunnings one in my life 😭 just play pretend at home.
Yep, onions on top. A nice straight line of tomato sauce, and depends on my mood, a snake pattern of mustard wriggled across the top. Mmm Mmm.
💯
Or between a double sausage I guess.
No if you put onions on to bread then the sausage on top it holds the onions down and is much easier to eat, IMO of course.
I entered the front seat of a taxi in NY. Driver's first reaction was to claw at the window to get out, maybe. I said "Gidday, Mate". The panic left his face, and he said "Oh, Australian!". "Yeah!" We then had a pleasant trip to my hotel, and we talked about stuff you normally talk to a cabbie about. This was soon after Croc Dundee came out, and that helped. In USA, be careful getting in the front seat. The driver thinks you are a mugger. At least, that was my experience.
They all have massive hand guns in their glove box, so that's definitely a risky move. An NYC town car driver showed us the gun in his glove box as a way to impress us about how "safe" we were going to be in his car 😲
@@bluewren65Yeah, don't worry about an accidental discharge with it bouncing around in there. It'll be fine mate. 🤦♂😂
@@28russ accidental discharge of my bowels when the cabbie shows me his gun in the glovebox?
Agree about beetroot! Not a real burger without it.
Definitely agree. A burger with the lot. All those juices running down your arms and dripping off your elbows. Runny fried egg, beetroot, and pineapple perfectly melding into a taste sensation. 😋
@@stephanieyee9784, you nearly got it right, but the egg has to be as hard fried as possible, while still being recognisable.
I don't care if the yolk is hard or a little runny, as long as the whites of the egg are cooked, it makes a burger taste GOOOOOOOD 😋
Beetroot, pickles & BBQ sauce.
Maaaate soon as you expressed your new found love of beetroot i said thats it ..your Aussie now
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Beetroot on a burger is definetly one of the things I miss about living in the US. I would love to be able to wander down to a local fish and chip shop and buy a steak sandwich with grilled onions (not diced as so often is given in the US when asking for grilled onions) and beetroot. Thak you for the cool video.
Can you not just buy a small tin of sliced beetroot, like you can also do in Australia?
I'd buy the steak sand (or anything that's the closest thing to an Aussie burger from an Aussie fish and chip shop) and then take it home and add my own beetroot.
No gambling in WA pubs. No , thank goodness we still have Bunnings Sausage Sizzles in rolls!! I love beetroot in my hamburgers , it's part of how we had burgers before Maccas come to Australia _ beetroot, lettuce, fried onions, fried egg (if you wanted one) tomato and tomato sauce, yum. No cheese or pickles. 😊
One of the things I love the most about being in WA is no pokies in pubs. Not that anybody can afford to drink in them anymore anyway, sadly
There’s the comment I was looking for. Sandgropers represent!
Thank goodness we don't have pokies here (other than at Crown) When visiting SA years ago, the constant noise from the machines was so annoying. Hope it never changes here.
I'm over 50, lived in 4 east coast states, never seen a sausage in a roll; Do love cheese on my burger...
Beetroot on burgers, pineapple on pizza, sausage sizzles, riding shogun in the taxi. Happy days!
Sorry, no pineapple on pizza. That started as a Canadian thing. (Yes, Canada.)
"Chicken salt" isn't chicken flavoured, it was invented as a seasoning for roast chickens.
Stop imagining chicken flavour and it will stop tasting like shit.
I HATE it! Plain salt only!
👍👏🎯
I prefer celery salt...
@@R0d_1984 = MSG!
As an Aussie that lived in the US for a number of years I used to take delight in jumping in to the front seat of a taxi just to see the reaction. But one day the driver pulled a gun on me in fright. We laughed about it eventually but we were both a bit spooked.
Back in 1990 in Frankfurt, I went to jump in a taxi in the front seat and to make it even more of an infraction I automatically went to the left side. The taxi driver nearly had a heart attack as he thought I was going to drive off.
Where in the US? I lived in DFW for nearly seven years and never experienced that with a taxi.
Reverse here, Yank in Oz. Still find it freaky to get in the front seat of a cab. And yah, the cops are surprised when I show hands on dash of car if pulled over. Little American anxieties that don't translate here.
@@JanCarol11 Hope your having an "interesting" time, all the best.
I live in a large town and it would feel weird to get in the backseat of a cab. More people need to embrace beetroot on their burgers!
yeah, I never really thought about it. it just seems 'normal' to jump in the passenger seat, particularly if your on your own. I have got in the back seat with my partner on occasion, particularly when in Melbourne, but when its just me I always get in the front. I feel I would be being rude to get in the back. Like as if you think your better than the cab driver and above having a chat with them.
I get in the backseat out of respect for the driver. Up front is their area.
.. and pineapple
.. and fried eggs..
@@bobhawke7373
I'm with you.
I've never been in a lot of taxi's throughout my life. Can probably count on both hands how many taxi's I have caught in my lifetime.
But I've always sat in the back and it has absolutely ZERO to do with me thinking I'm better than them. Just something I did since I was a child.
Don't even know how that became a reason to insult people for simply sitting in the back of taxi's. Good grief.
@@mebeme007
I'm thinking of it from the drivers perspective. If I was a driver, I would prefer my passengers in the back.
I'm sure they aren't upset if you get in the front, but day in, day out, I feel that passengers become cargo to them in a way. Cargo always goes in the back. And then there's personal space. There is nothing wrong with allowing someone space. Space is always appreciated.
Even just their phone in their phone holder with phone notifications and stuff that are going off in front of them
I can't read them in the back. Little personal space things.
And I assure you that late night taxi drivers, would prefer the drunks in the back.
How can you argue over Parma or Parmi, says a bloke from a country where they can’t agree if it’s a roll, breakfast roll, bap, cob, dinner roll, barm cake, buttery, Scot’s roll, or one of a dozen others! 😂
Like you, I’m a blow in, and it’s one of the best things we’ve done.
Definitely a parma - it’s a pronunciation thing.
That, and I’ve never heard of an 80s pop singer called Robert Parmi.
They're all different. Learn your bakery goods. Baps rule though.
@@grantleyhughes Buttery for the win, but a morning roll/bap for bacon and egg.
Other things I've found is the cold meat I knew as Hasslet in the UK is meat loaf over here in Sth Aus.
Aussie beetroot is definitely sweeter, due to being in diluted vinegar compared to the Heinz from the UK thats in the supermarkets.
If you do a comparison of beer glasses, the SA 'pint" is just 425ml, - or a schooner in other states- but some places ask if you want SA or an Imperial (570ml) pint.
@@threepot900 A world standard would take the fun out of it. Life is an adventure. My drinking is mostly " a diet soda in the big glass please".
@@grantleyhughes, you would likely get a slap on the face if you asked the girl at the bakery if you could sample her baps.
5:39 - from experience, if you hop in the front seat of a taxi in Bangkok, the driver will look at you and say 'Australian'?
I did the same in China. The driver told me he felt honoured that I would sit up front. His English was pretty good too, like many of the younger generation I came across when I was there who had grown up in the big cities. Little did he realise I just wanted a better view (and video + photo ops) on the 3 hour journey, that I could only get from the front. But I didn’t say anything about that as I didn’t want to spoil his moment of joy.
Later on that trip I had a 15 minute ride to the airport. The lady driver didn’t speak English. I had to ask the hotel concierge to see if she would mind if I sat in the front. She jumped out, opened the door, ushered me in with a huge smile. He spoke to her for a bit and he told me she asked him if I was Australian. Her cab was immaculate, with covers on everything. She wore a business suit and white gloves like she was a limo driver, but it was only a humble VW Jetta. Those cab drivers were better than almost any I’ve had in AU, across 6 states.
Parma for a farmer. It's a thing. Parmi is a weird thing a couple of strange states call it.
Parmy sounds gay.
Exactly...
@@MajorMalfunction and what's wrong with that?
Yeah Parmi sounds stupid trying too hard to make it Aussie..
@@queenslanddiva Never said there was. Each to their own. :P
Funny you mention hoping in a cab, I nearly always hop in the front seat and this caused quite a problem in Greece when I got in the drivers seat to the amusement of the driver, he just laughed at me. Quite embarrassing.😮
I took a taxi not long ago in Melbourne and I think I frightened my Driver when I jumped in the front. He relaxed pretty quickly as I realised he was uncomfortable. We were laughing like old mates by the time he dropped me off.
I've been a chef for 25 years and worked in all different types of restaurants all over the world and and just so you know it's a bloody parma mate, end of! 😂
Australia doesn't care what the pope calls a parmajana!
We call it a Parmy!
No big deal.
We don't call prawns shrimp.
We call McDonald's maccas
Peanut paste, because peanut butter was deemed illegal
By the dairy industry in the past.( not butter )
We call all football footy (played on foot)
We love parmajana, hence Parmy.
No disrespect meant.
Beetroot and caramelised onion. More sophisticated flavours. Pickled beetroot, earthy and a touch of tang. Caramelised onion, sweet, salty and unctuous. We grew up on pure UMAMI, that's Vegemite to you. So expect more from flavours.
Nothing better than a burger with the lot from your local fish-n-chip shop… need to include beetroot, pineapple and a fried egg. 🤤
And bacon!
And bbq sauce. 😂
Amen
I live in NSW and say Parmi. I don't know if I should be but I don't care. That's what I call it.
The classic corner shop Aussie Burger is awesome. I don't understand why the country is now going towards the American 'grease feast' Burger. They taste ok sort of but are just a feast of greasy slop. Bring back the beetroot.
I've only ever known it to be called a chicken parma.. The name comes from age I think, I've been eating them for 20+years now and have always seen it on the menu as a Chicken parma but I guess they call it parmi now..?
A burger without beetroot is not a true burger!
@@Matty12787I rarely eat them. If it's pub time, it's steak in my books.
I'm in NSW and almost always use & hear parma or just parm.
Surprised you didnt mention all the different beer sizes and names depending on the state you are in. Pint, middy, schooner etc.
I'm surprised he didn't complain that it was cold.
Perhaps he hasn't travelled to several different states to know the difference.
And only knows about the "Parmi/Parma" debate through friends or social media or something.
It's practically illegal to not have beetroot on your burger in Australia.
Absolutely nailed it cobber, the world needs to try a burger with the lot.
Loving the content mate, keep it up 🤙
ah cobber , thats a rare one these days ay😉
@CLAWCUZBRO bloody oath mate, the saying cobber (mate) is as rare as tits on a bull these days but I'm doing my best to keep it going.
Cobber went out with bonza, and hasn’t yet returned as an airline.
Chicken salt can vary a lot between brands.
i prefer Saxa over Anchor
Johno, it's one of my rules of life to never go to a pub that has gambling. Good pubs survive on good food and live music.
Legalised gambling was the death of the Aussie music scene.
You need to find a 'good' pub, the couple I go to only have about 4 pokies but thrive off the band playing.. They have a ton of local talent so never short on getting a band together! I suppose you still have Keno and the TAB but that's not their main income..
Although I live in a rural area and with our pubs, they keep it old and traditional with a little bit of the new age (gambling)..
A pub without gambling? Good luck 😂😂😂😂😂
@@gloryglory5688 Western Australia. They're not allowed to have them (except at the casino in Perth). But yes, otherwise I'd agree with you.
Another great video from one of my favorite Poms. Keep up the good work mate, you are doing your new home proud.
For ever an average hamburger with the lot from the local fish and chip shop has been better than any crap burger from an American chain store. It’s a shame that they are getting harder to find these days.
It frustrates me when a so-called burger shop either doesn't have beetroot or has the gall to charge extra for it. I can kinda understand it from an American franchise chain that likes to keep menus similar, though they could still include an "Aussie style" burger option, but for an Australian owned place there's no excuse.
There are three reasons why American "crap" is more popular. It's cheaper, it's more convenient, it's more family-friendly. If Australian shops won't embrace these three basic principles, that's our fault.
@@davidhoward4715 No, it's because they can spend millions a year on advertising, did you know they get millions in tax breaks, i've brought MDs once in the last year...
Born and raised Aussie.... Chicken Salt is poison, Gambling in pubs is hell on earth.
We discovered Chicken Salt last year when we came over. My son loved it so much I had to find some on Amazon after we got back to the UK...certainly couldn't get it in Asda that's for sure 😅
My pommie niece who has visited us in Aus maybe several times, always goes home with, and asks for, family goin there, to bring CHICKEN f*#*n SALT- I reckon the English fisn chips joint staple of currie sauce on ya chips is BRILLIANT! Why dont we have that here in Aus???
I prefer celery salt...
My go to burger recipe: Toasted buttered (NOT margarine) bun with burger (obviously), tomato, beetroot, cheese (grated not the plastic stuff), fried onion, egg (sunny side up) bit of sauce and I am as happy as kitten following a leaking cow.
Great advice to the foreigner especially if you end up in Qld.
Good luck getting in the front seat of a cab in another country, it'll work in some but not others. In Hong Kong the front door was locked and they looked at me funny when I tried to open it. In Singapore but they get enough Aussies that they'll know whats up, but most Singapore cabbies are pretty friendly too.
Brilliant. Ex South Aussie, now in Victoria. That’s as expatriate as I get. Lol.
You got so much correct, with a great attitude and much humour. Had to subscribe.
Great video. Grew up in Adelaide and certainly chicken salt was an option, but most people used tomato sauce (oddly with 'ketchup' printed on the label) or just salt, unless with fried battered fish in which case people used vinegar. But then these were habits at the family owned roast chicken/ hamburger/ fish n chips shops or the Pie cart (food truck for you North Americans), not the imported American fast food chains. Maybe an Adelaide thing?
Beetroot on burgers, absolutely amazing and the biggest thing i miss living in Canada. Canadian family and friends think it's weird til they try it. Really no difference from the ubiquitous dill pickle on burgers here. Bewdy!😊👍🍔 Which are rarely as good as an Aussie made burger.
Chicken Salt was invented in Adelaide, specifically Gawler in the 70's
According to my parents it didn't become a stable though till the late 80's and early 90's
So that might be why you saw plenty with Tomato sauce, or perhaps you just travel in circles that prefer sauce
as you know@@Freshie207 Gawler is a separate place to Adelaide (though you can catch a commuter train between them). My dad and his family are from Gawler. They never used chicken salt but its interesting to learn it was developed there. 😀👍
When my Canadian wife and I lived in Adelaide in the early 1990s chicken salt was common (unlike when I was a kid in the 70s) when you bought 'chicken n chips' at a family run take away food shop.
But then I have always eaten chicken flavoured potato chips (crisps in the UK usage). Smiths!
I did not realise that sitting in the front seat of the cab seems so weird outside of oz. I cant recall where i sat on my lone trip to the states, but in the UK, definitely sat in the back.
I loved chicken salt from the first taste
I'm a 63 year old Aussie sheila and I have always jumped in the front seat of a taxi...
It wouldn't even occur to me not to
I’m not a fan of chicken salt, but a burger is not a burger unless it has beetroot
great vid, you have got it all down pat
A works burger aka burger with the lot has all the food groups when you think about it 🙂. Parma . Front seat . Beetroot . Chicken salt . Used to go to pubs to socialise and play pool , pool tables disappeared when those mongrel pokies came along , not worth going anymore sadly .
Pokies in every pub so true
@@HardCandy-fd4vz None in W.A. pubs!
@@marieravening927 W.A sounds like a nice place in Victoria there’s pokies in every pub ..
Chips - Chicken salt and vinegar for sure.
Parma. It is chicken parma. Not sure what part of Queensland you live in, but in SEQ I have not in my many decades heard anyone local calling it "parmy".
Sausage sizzle - yep, simple and glorious.
Front seat of taxis - I thought this had actually waned. Even in Australia it freaks out some drivers.
Beetroot on a burger - yep. Although, the full works is where the magic happens - patty, cheese, tomato, lettuce, bacon, egg, pineapple, beetroot. Man, I'm hungry now.
Lol! I love your 6 things. The only thing is, I call it a parma. And I don't have pineapple on my Burger with The Lot . I save that for my pizzas. But lots of beetroot on my Burger with The Lot - notice the Capital Letters? We're serious about our burgers! Ps. Sards Wonder Spray gets rids of beetroot stains. Whenever I wore a magnet (a white top) I'd wear my beetroot too. Thanks for the laughs. Enjoy Australia. 🙂
No pineapple on pizza.
Chicken salt is delicious! I once heard that it's just MSG, but I think it's MSG with chicken bullion in it, and a few other flavours. Beetroot on burgers is great! I remember seeing a post online from Americans who were stunned that at Subway, we have things like beetroot and grated carrot as optional toppings. The pokies is a very NSW thing. There's a great old song by The Whitlams called "Blow Up the Pokies" that was released in the nineties and deals with the issue of them destroying lives. They were introduced the help sure up NSW's govt finances "so the trains run on-time" but they were not worth the societal damage they caused. Late trains are much more preferable to chronic gambling addiction tearing apart communities.
Seems like you're settling right in.
Great video mate.
I am 59. Always lived in Australia. Born here. And I don’t know what chicken salt is……or at least not until a year ago when I started to hear about it on TH-cam🤷🏼♀️. I have never been offered it or seen it as an option at my local fish and chip shops. Don’t believe that it is ubiquitous it guys, it’s not.
However……..A sausage in bread outside Bunnings on a Saturday afternoon………classic and delicious. And beetroot…….yep, essential (also essential in the classic cheese and salad roll from the local milk bar)
Got all the main things mate, good 4 you!!
Fun fact, Bunnings had a 1 year stint in the UK in 2018 and my store in essex did have sausage sizzles
I love the fact that you're loving the Aussie way more and more, welcome mate. Burger with the lot, must have beetroot!!!
I am a fan of this channel. I am an American that is planning on studying abrod in Australia.
LOL this was funny. I must say I’m more partial to vinegar on my fish n chips. Also we go to our Irish pub for the parmi. 😁. It’s called the Shamrock and they actually sell 101 Parmi’s even desert ones. A burger isn’t a burger if it hasn’t got beetroot on it 😂.
lately i've been making my fully loaded aussie burgers on either turkish bread or garlic gread, you can spread the fillings out more which makes it managable, though the flavour changes as you go along.
Chicken salt is great...until you accidentally get way too much of it on your chips and you never want to have it ever again. I may be speaking from experience 🤣
You can never have too much chicken salt. One time I asked for extra, and the guy asked "To taste, or to choke?" I said choke. Best chips ever.
@@MajorMalfunction This was at home, the top of the container broke and the salt poured out. Trust me, there is too much lol.
@@RyanCMcD OK, fair enough. :)
if the entire chips aren't 50% yellowy-green you're doing it wrong
@@chrispekel5709 Yeah but if you accidentally dunk the entire container of chicken salt on them you're doing it a bit wrong too lol.
It's Parma, people further north are wrong.
🤦♂️🤦♂️
Nah, nah, it's Parmie.
It's Parmi, why would parmigiana become parma?
@@justkerry173because we said so.
@@Stratocaster893 we're also told that some women have p*nises, doesn't mean it's right 😉
As a Victorian, I can handle "parmi" as an acceptable alternative to "parma". What I can't handle is potato cakes being referred to as "scallops".
Southern heathen! 😝😁
Easy a scallop of potato. Scallops are nothing like cake. Potato cakes therefore is a misnomer.
Potato cakes are like a patty. Scallops are slices of potato. Scallops all the way.
@@genie674 Scallops are a shellfish found in the sea.
@@mickm6309, potato scallops aren't. They are delicious fried battered sliced potatoes. And they are yum.
They're definitely not potato cakes.
Well done!!! Your best video yet. Beetroot adds such an interesting sweet taste to a burger (not like the sour, spicy pickle flavour of Gerkin or pickles that the Americans want!). Beetroot is like a tomato, but with a more interesting flavour! Thank you for your huge assessment on Aussie trade. and culinary takes. You are welcome at my BBQ at anytime...BYO of course.
It's a wonder the smarter people at Mecca's haven't worked out that rather than beetroot make an aussie burger with beetroot instead of a minuscule pickle maybe some coleslaw even?
@@bruceblunderfield5431 Actually Macca's have done that a couple of times as a limited menu item. It sold quite well.
@@gbsailing9436 well instead of " It worked well" , stop trying the crap Maccas food in Australia! Give us a great greasy Wog burger like every great burger shop did till Maccas sent them broke! They were cheap, buns toasted, lettuce beetroot tomato , Mayo and some BBQ sauce! Not by the USA standard of a cake with a pickle, so they were legally able to call it a burger! One thing Australian people hate is 2 faced liars and overseas thugs! Remember what happened to USO? In Brisbane? The USA guys got annialated! USA service men could buy anything yet Australian service people were denied access! The Riot ensued! I believe that USA had a very bad day that day? USA is not a friend! They are users!
You've got it. I noticed you'd got it in your first weeks. I have a very strong belief that you'd got it before you even arrived (that school trip perhaps?) Welcome home, mate.
It's definitely a Parma!
You missed the most important thing. Vegemite. Watching a foreigner put Vegemite on a piece of toast and eating it never gets old.
I know, I chuckle every single time.
Parmi, sausage sizzle - I'm only half-way through and I realise this bloke has Australian Kulture sorted...
As a aussie i have my chips with salt and cornwells vingear
I go to the pub for the food and live music and curtsey bus
Our burgers are so healthy just think of meat and salad on a bun
I'm a tall female and I don't fit in the back of small cabs, so I always opt for the front seat. I don't like it because I've encountered a few sleazes in my time, but I have no choice if I want to travel comfortably. I love your videos. You have such a positive attitude, I think you must be a great teacher, too.
Lived about equal time uk and aussie smaller cities really underrated live in cairns the tropics just about everythings weird night noise birds aka curlews bats friar birds and early morning bird calls that give u the true Jurassic experience.v green trees plants v different to everywhere else travelled in oz
You forgot to mention chips with gravy!! It's yum. It's always offered in our state..
I have been hanging for chips with gravy for days! I could really go a chip butty right now. Full of fat potatoey chips with gravy. Oh yum. 😋
@@stephanieyee9784 totes!!
You do you, but keep any sort of thixotropic liquid away from my chips. Great way to ruin what should be a crunchy experience, by making it soggy. The Canadians do this as well though, as an aside, with Poutine.
If you get chips with chicken salt here you will only get to eat about 4 of them if people are around you. Life hack put vinegar as well and only 1 in 4 people will go near them. Personally chicken salt and vinegar and tomato sauce all together is a big winner. Also don't be afraid to get some fresh white bread and make it a sandwich. It is a huge winner....
Ah, the chip butty. Magnificent. I have many memories of family visits where dinner involves getting $5 of chips and a couple of loaves of bread. Feast for the masses. These days $5 of chips is about enough for 1 or maybe 2 people.
I love chicken salt,my favorite is chicken parmi with mushroom gravy.😊
Chicken salt does not, and never has contained chicken. It was invented by a man to sprinkle on the fried chicken he sold.
It was invented by Peter Brinkworth to season his rotisserie chickens. His shop was in Gawler, South Australia.
You get a palmy at a massage parlour.
LOL
I miss Brissie.
Lived in South Bank at UniLodge. Highly recommended if you're a student! 5 min walk from the river.
PS: It's keno, not bingo. Just watch the pretty numbers pop up.
I'm an Aussie, and I despise beetroot and BBQ sauce , 2 staples on a typical Aussie burger, I always ask for these to not be included. I do, however, love egg and pineapple with tomato sauce and all the other usual ingredients on my lot burger.
oh and chicken salt is a must on hot chips!!
I find it so interesting that over east y'all put your sausage sizzle's in bread. In Perth they come in a bun, and having had it the other way, that's the way it should be!
In a bun, wtf you Western Australians are a weird mob. 😂😜😝
From Ipswich Queensland used to buy my Hawaiian burger, chips and coke of Pauline Hanson. Grew up in Silkstone. The Best.
My favourite pubs in Canberra do not have any pokies. They have Happy Hour ( cheap drinks), great meal deals, Trivia nights, comedy nights, bands....
Commieberra...
You need to move west mate, no pokies in pubs over here :)
As someone has lived in Sydney for the last 47 years, but grew up in North Queensland and Bundaberg, I still miss burgers made in Queensland. The Queensland works burger is an amazingly delicious taste sensation. And it is not a Queensland hamburger unless it drips down your front. Nothing better than a Queensland works burger with chips with PLAIN salt. Chicken salt is as bad as Vegemite and fairy bread in my opinion.
Another thing I miss about Queensland is growing bananas, mangoes, Monstera Deliciosa, paw paws, and custard apples in the back yard, and eating freshly picked tropical fruit.
As a born and bred Aussie, i never heard "parmy" although we do like to put -y on the end of things. I think some of these are local slang.
Never heard of Parma ?
Your local pub must be up market. Ours has it right there on the menu.
@@aussiemiss1442 Parma ... Maybe.. parmy.. no
@@xpusostomos oops parmy yes … slip of the fingers.
@@aussiemiss1442 and what state are you in, country or capital?

Vinegar on chips always! Malt vinegar is best but white will do. I stay neutral in the chicken wars and just stick with chicken parm. Keno at the pub is for the poor person who has been dragged along by the partner and needs entertainment :)
So common thirty years ago, but really rare now, only 1 F&C shop does it in a city of 200K...
Wrong wrong wrong ! It’s Parma champ 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s Parma and this is the hill I die on. Now I’m hungry and pondering a trip to the local Bunnings 😂
worked in a beetroot cannery near 50 years ago, never eaten it since
Know we have different names for same things but in England you speak differently in different areas. Married to a pom, daughter - in- law English. Both have different accents
Chicken salt sounds good. You can get roast chicken potato chips in Canada but it's just artificial flavoring which I suspect chicken salt is as well.
Shame due to inflation they aren't a gold coin. $2 snag was great coming from the UK in 09!
I remember them being 50 cents...
Chicken PARMI?? Bloody foreigners… (yes, I’m talking to you QLD’rs)….
Great vid mate. Love your cheeky attitude. Wonderful stuff.
Love from Melbourne…. ;)
"Riding shotgun" is an American expression. It was the seat next to the driver on a coach, which was usually a person armed with a shotgun for bandits.
Thanks for the info
As a native Australian I thoroughly enjoyed your video
aboriginal?
From Sydney here. As to chips -: I love salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon on mine. Also I’ve fallen in love with a Japanese dressing called Kewpie Roasted Sesame. And I love that on my chips as well. I absolutely despise tomato sauce. I also occasionally put a large dollop or two of Napoletana Sauce with cheese on my chips… As for Beetroot -: Roast it as a vegetable with other veggies or shred it raw in a salad or burger but never put vinegar on it if you’re gonna give it to me. Don’t like straight vinegar on anything. Yuck…. ⚛️☮️🌏
Chicken salt isn’t an acquired taste , everyone loves it. Every turist I’ve seen they always like it, not even foreigners say it tastes weird or like an acquired taste
Sorry matey, I'm an Aussie and my family and I hate it!
I am a 67 year old Australian, and I detest the taste of chicken salt and when a place puts chicken salt on without asking I hand it back to them to make a fresh batch with plain salt. It has only been a common thing for the last 20 or 30 years, so I don't regard it as a traditional Australian flavor. It does taste weird, and is an acquired taste.
@@artistjoh Same! Give me plain salt, tomato sauce or vinegar any day. I always say NO CHICKEN SALT!
Comapare an Aussie Snack Bar Burger to say, Burger King or Maccas. At the Snack BAr for $8.00 aud I can get a toasted and buttered 6 inch wide roll with steak, a ground beef patty, bacon, egg, onion,cheese, lettuce,grated carrot,sliced tomato, beetroot and a slice of fried pineapple and a choice of sauces, for the same price at maccas I get a 4 inch untoasted bun with 2 beef patties, 2 slices of cheese, a tiny portion of onion, Ketchupand mustard. No Choice really. I'l see ya at the local Fisho.
Never heard of chicken salt and I am an Aussie aged 75. I've never played the "games" offered in a pub,
Never? Ever? Crazy.
Chicken salt was developed by a bloke in South Australia in the 1970s as a seasoning to put on rotisserie chicken, the seasoning contains no chicken itself nor does it try to mimic chicken flavour. It was bought by Mitani in 1979 who released a retail version based on the salt which became popular with other brands coming out with their own variations, it's a staple in local fish & chip shops these days using a bright yellow brand (I believe from Edlyn) and is typically the salt many will put on by default if you don't specify which.
So you would have been in your early 30s when it started becoming popular, and I guess if you never had hot chips from a local takeaway in that time since I can see how you may have never tasted or seen it though it is surprising not to at least have heard of it.
Nope, never in a pub although they are "In YA FACE". I have played the on armed bandits in the Casino though - that is where they belong.@@littlecatfeet9064
Here in Queensland I reckon they'd give you a funny look if you put chicken salt on your chips.
@@davidhoward4715 but I do and I’m a Queenslander 🤣
Pom here...I've always got in the front of a taxi (not a black London cab). Never knew it was even a thing
A pom down under, big mistake becoming a banana bender, move to a more enlightened state, maybe become a sandgroper? Better pubs, never heard of chicken salt (salt and vinigar only) and it's a parma! 😉😃😃
Chips and gravy.
Chicken Parma
Agreed
Agreed
Beetroot on a burger… yep!
Chips & vanilla ice cream for me. Lol.. don't even know when I started it.
When I was growing up in the 70’s and 80s it was vinegar on take away chips. Chicken salt was a later invention but there is nothing like it
vinegar and salt or just salt...
I have a beef brisket on cooking, but all I want to eat now is a burger with the lot lol I wonder if I cave a can of beetroot in the pantry..
I don't touch the chicken salt because of the chicken flavour additive.. for me it plain salt or gravy or tomato sauce or bbq sauce or vinegar.
The original chicken salt was invented by a fish and chip shop owner who mixed up paprika, onion powder, garlic powder etc etc etc into salt as an easy way to add flavour to chicken and then started to add it to chips when he sold them.
It is called chicken salt only because it was originally used to flavour rotisserie chicken.
He sold it to a condiment company,
Many people have made a version of it but the original mix is still the best. Even though it has MSG in it.
I was a customer of this man for years.
So my relationship with chicken salt is a long one.
It is a lazy way of adding flavour without opening a dozen different spices.
Sort of Aussie version of the KFC flavour.
I also never knew that the fly was Australia's national bird.
Ha. So right about sitting in the front of a taxi
Chicken salt is not a salt that tastes like chicken, is a salt that is intended to be put on chicken, but we put it on chips instead 😂
This man truly belongs in Australia.
