Mmmmmm Corn Dog.
*seconds later after photo was taken*
NOM NOM NOM NOM
I miss corn dogs.. nobody here knows what they are.. Instead we get beets on McDonalds.. Beets! Can you imagine anything more disgusting on a hamburger?
-
I’d kill for a corn dog right about now..
I love fresh beets with some butter and salt and pepper but on a hamburger? From McDonalds? Ewwwwwww.
It’s called an Aussie Burger.. I call it crap..
I don’t even know what to say. That sounds horrible. What makes McDonalds corporation think Australians like beets on burgers?
WTF kind of logic is that?
“Well their country is it’s own continent, so they probably like burgers that taste like crap, I know! Lets put beets on them!”
Not McD’s, but other places that have an Aussie Burger also put an egg on it. Now with an egg it’s not too bad, as long as they hold the beets. Oh, and they also have an Aussie Pizza that has cheese, ham, onion, tomato sauce.. and an egg. I know, you’re probably going ewww.. but truthfully, since the pizza here is horrible, the egg actually makes it quite good.
-
And for those out there that are Aussie.. pumpkin soup?!?! I’m sorry, I just can’t get my head around pumpkin soup. And personally, it tastes horrible along with roasted pumpkin.
At least it’s not vegemite on a burger.
I’ve tasted good pumpkin soup before, but what’s this dish Terry Pratchett discusses: a meat pie floating in pea soup? With ketchup? Without the ketchup, I might actually like that…
I’d take vegemite over beets any day on my burger. FTW, I’m sure there is someone out there that does put vegemite on their burger.
Uh, FTW = FWIW.. *sheesh*
LOL too much PK for Eddie. He’s using too much of that young people Netspeak. LMAO
I recently learned that fried beets (beet crisps, basically) will make your poop bright red. Fun fact.
That said, if you voluntarily eat McD hamburgers you forfeit the right to complain. Read the fine print.
Aah yes. Boiled beets too. I see that as a bonus!
Ok, I can understand that. But even reputable places put beets on them. So it’s not just McD’s that has it messed up, everyone does it. And my wife swears that it’s ‘good’. I don’t see how it can be.
Actually… pickled beets might work, now that I think about it. Perhaps in a sweet flavor, with habanero… hmm…
We eat our beets pickled. They’re great on hamburgers or just on their own. And I love pumpkin soup, roast pumpkin, pumpkin scones etc Never tried a witchetty grub, they’re in short supply in 95% of Australia (and easily confused with lawn grubs etc to the untrained eye)
My mom used to pickle beets when I was a kid; also cucumbers. Plus canning strawberry/rhubarb jam, which I miss terribly.
Actually, the beets were only one year, after which, never again lol.
(BTW: care to go waltzing?
)
Speaking of fried foods… who wants fried oreos? Or fried snickers?
I tried a fried Snickers bar last year at the Oregon State Fair; I was disappointed. It was just a big, gooey mess.
I use to work at a place that did fried cheesecake, though, and it was excellent: wrap the cheesecake filling in a flour tortilla and freeze it until it’s hard as a rock. Fry it until the tortilla is cooked; the cheesecake will be similar to ice cream at this point. Top it with dulce de leche, fried plantains, fried sugared tortilla strips, and hand whipped cream. It was so good I couldn’t sell it! Guests would start out excited, but by the time I was done describing it they’d say “No, no, I couldn’t possibly eat something that rich!”
I’ve never been able to eat deep-fried pizza. Watching people prepare to eat it by holding it vertical so that a river of grease runs out just puts me off.
A deep-fried favourite of my mother’s is ice-cream…
A good indication that your local chippies don’t keep the oil in the friers hot enough. If they did, the bread wouldn’t absorb that much fat because the surface would seal in the first few seconds.
Hmmm, very interesting, O all knowing one…
But I can’t say that: my friend’s family owns the chippie…
Portland one of the worst things we do is vegemite and cheese sangers (sandwiches)…. Vegemite is bad at the best of times, to add cheese *shudder*
i personally prefer mashed peas On the pie, sounds odd but it is very good.
and yes we do some crazy sh*t with our pies… for the floater pie ketchup is voluntary, and it’s more likely to be tomato sauce
What kind of meat in the pie (drooling)?
I can honestly say I haven’t had a floater pie, but I’ve had lot’s of meat pies, they’re like a staple here. The conversation usually goes, “What do you want for lunch?” “Maccas (McD’s)?” “Nah.. how about KFC?” “Nah.. how ’bout a pie?” “Yeah, sounds good.. what kind do you want?” Then you have another 10 minutes of trying to decide. But, the key is you better be getting it by 12:30 or you won’t have much of a selection or they will be completely gone.
-
@Meglets: The first time I had a 4&20 and I was hooked. Then I discovered that the pies from either Brumby’s or Baker’s Delight were HEAPS better. Now I go to the bakery around the corner.
Oh, and as for the type of meat, it’s usually steak or chicken. But there’s a lot of variations of each. You can steak & mushroom, steak & onion, steak & cheese, chicken & curry (which I detest), chicken & mushroom, etc, etc, etc.
Dammit, it’s 3:30 am and I am wondering if I could whip up a quick meat pie… not that I know how to make one or anything…
I get envious when I read about people eating meat pies (usually in Pratchett, yes – they can keep the pea soup and ketchup, though) and though I’ve looked high and low, the closest I can find here is pot-pies, which are of course too drippy to eat as meat pies are described. I just know that I’m going to spend my life yearning for a meat pie and when I’m 87 and decrepit, I’ll finally get to try one, and it’ll be nasty, and I’ll die a bitter, broken soul.
I’m going to the NADWCON this year; I wonder if any vendors there will have meta pies? Maybe I can get to the “bitter broken soul” part before I leave 40…
Yep, the meat pies are very similar to pot pies, but much tastier and quite a bit smaller. What makes them different is the crust is a bit thicker, which makes it easier to pick up and eat.
My son sometimes puts a fried egg on top of his burger. I’ll have to tell him they do that in Australia!
This will be a test for your son; if he finds it awesome, he is cool. If he doesn’t, then he isn’t.
Slip a beet on there and see what he says.. if he gags, he’s truly and American. If he doesn’t, ship him on over!
Fried eggs and pickled beets on pyttipanna is great!
(As seen on the picture on wikipedia’s article on Pyttipanna)
…aaand I had a point which was that even though I can’t really imagine it on burger, it shouldn’t be all that awful, methinks.
How startling! When I make that (usually starting with jalapenos, onions, potato, bacon, and ground beef) I just call it “bachelor chow”. Now I can tell people it’s actually it’s actually a “Mexican/Swedish fusion recipe”
Indeed! My significant other’s brother-in-law is Mexican, and we’re all Finnish but we live in Sweden, so we tend to have a Rather Exciting Cuisine when we all get together. Guacamole and pickled herring, anyone?
Sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
Um, Finns and Swedes don’t eat Gefeltefisk, do they? ‘Cause that would be just wrong…
Nope, that is not part of our food culture.
I actually didn’t deliberately eat the quacamole and the herring together, but they were certainly sharing the same plate (with Other Things(tm) as a barrier between them. ;p)
I can relate to Mexican, I was raised on it. Plus lot’s of German food that I can’t possibly pronounce. But yeah, Mexican was #1 in our house and it was all homemade.
Interesting thought; I do fusion, but I’m not sure how well guacamole and pickling vinegar would go together.
I’m pretty sure he won’t go for the beet. He tends to be somewhat anti-vegetable.
As are most normal people. Unless said vegetables are baked (or grilled) with Tony Cacheries (sp?) and a stick of butter.
Cavender’s is good too, but, yeah, Tony Cacheres rocks!
Cacheres with some of the cheap store brand season-all from Walmart.
-
I like Cavenders on raw tomatoes. Does that make it weird?
Not a big raw tomato fan so I can only imagine Cavender’s would be an improvement. I used that on both the fish I cooked tonight and the pasta I served with it!
Mom eats peanut butter and raw tomato sandwiches with onions. I think she’s going to die a horrible death one day.
oh eddie, tsk tsk…
why would you call a hamburger ‘with the lot’ if it doesn’t have every possible food on it?
We do things differently here, mate… including naming the ladies after men according to flight of the conchords… (linky)
Mostly i don’t rate the behemoth burgers but after a really hot day at the beach sometimes things look edible that shouldn’t be…
Maccas Aussie burger is pretty rubbish with or without beets… nuggets on the other hand, so wrong and yet so right with sweet and sour…mmm nuggets
I don’t mind a pizza with the lot (except my wife doesn’t like prawns, anchovies, or olives) but a burger with the lot is just to much. I don’t usually get maccas unless it’s for the nuggets. Oh, the one thing I will give on though is bacon on my burger.
-
As for names, yeah, I noticed that. Or if possible, the name will get shortened (Rachel = Rach, Simone = Sim, Darren = Daz, Tyler = Ty) I like the idea though, even for tradesmen. It sort of gives things a more casual air, if you will. I mean, calling a bricklayer a brickie has a good ring to it.
Plus the accents. Those are sexy.
I agree.. but to be honest, I don’t hear Aussie and American accents anymore. I work with a guy that’s American and it took me 10 minutes to realize he didn’t have an Aussie accent. I’m guessing that’s because most of the TV is American. I can tell the difference between an Aussie accent and a Kiwi now though..
I love Kiwi and Aussie accents, Eddie. Did you know in Australia, when England was using it as a prison, people were sent there for life for stealing “three yards of lace”?
I can imagine, lace was probably a bastard to make back then. Also, did you know that Australia had their own penal colony? It was on Tasmania and if you got sent there, you were one bad S.O.B.
I thought* it was Norfolk Island and then also Brisbane? Maybe you had three? You crazy people.
*) I blame Douglas Adams.
Brisbane and Norfolk are possibles, but I wouldn’t know off hand. I do know that Port Arthur in Tasmania was a pretty big prison.
Oh, and the guy who got sent for life for two socks…. /Sigh. England in those days, eh?
The transportation was a life sentence, but it was usually something like 10 years imprisonment, and then the rest of your life as a free colonist unless you got caught thieving againt.
The key to pizza with a fried egg on it is to get a good pizza in the first place, then note that you will have to eat the pizza with knife and fork.
Not even vaguely Aussie; I was introduced to the idea about 20 years back by Michael Winner (yes the director. No I’ve never met him, but he used to write a food column in my Sunday paper).
Fried egg on pizza? As in fried in a pan then placed on the pizza?
I really like pizza with egg on, but it’s oven-cooked with the pizza then – gets a particular texture. Or maybe I mean surface. Very coagulated, at least.
Yes, fired separately and then placed on the pizza. I think what you’re doing is a baking technique.
No, don’t fry the egg first, but do make sure the yolk is broken. Then the egg gets poured over the top and you toss it in the oven.
-
At least that’s the way it’s done here.
Eggs are awesome, I don’t have any problem with slapping a fried egg on top of my burger, while you’re at it toss in some lettuce and tomato and you have a BLT with a cheeseburger in it. I bet that would be pretty good, but beets? WTF.
I normally like my eggs sunny side up, but I thiink this idea calls for them easy over (like an egg roll, which is exactly what it sounds like)!
Know what’s really awesome, though? Make a salad with a variety of baby greens, some mushrooms, a little crumbled blue cheese, dried cranberries, bacon, and sweet/spicy glazed pecans, then top it with a balsamic vinaigrette and a poached egg. Salad heaven.
My guess is, Australia, being in rather isolated part of the world with rough beginnings, had to go with certain foods that were inexpensive/low maintenance/ readily available. Hence the eggs and beets everywhere…. Now…. Vegemite.. my powers of assumption cannot even fathom the origins of something like vegemite.
Really? I mean, it’s a byproduct of beer production, thought it’d be pretty obvious why people tried eating it eventually. There must’ve been tons produced daily. ;p
biproduct*
I am having the worstest of spelling days. Sorry.
LOL. (not)
It’s “biprodukt” in Swedish, so I figured it must be bi-product in English, yet spelling it by and … Ah well, turned out I was right the first time.
*mutters* buggery…
S’ok those of us who know where you’re from know whatcha mean!
Didnt know it came from beer… interesting… and explains a lot, beer isnt the best tasting stuff in the world either…
But I think Kraft makes it without the aid of beer..
Most likely today, yes.
(But: “In 2007 Marmite launched a limited edition version, made with yeast from the brewing of Guinness.” source: wikipedia)
I believe it’s a derivitive of marmalite, which also tastes horrible and I believe is from the UK.
Marmite! (YUM)
Sorry, yes it’s marmite.. I don’t know why I was calling it marmalite. Anyway, yuck.. if it’s like vegemite (which it sounds like it is), I’ll take a pass. I just can’t get used to the taste.
That’s ok. Loving Marmite and/or Vegemite is fine, as long as you don’t expect me to eat them. Hating them is fine too. There’s something very suspicous about people who claim to be ambivolent about them though!
marmite (less intense), promite (sweeter) are OK
Vegemite = too far
“marmite (less intense)”
British or Aussie Marmite?
I thought they were the same? dunno
Sounds like a logical evolution given Australia’s history.
Still unforgivable….
And as an added bonus, try a witchetty grub. Mmmmmmm, my mouth waters at the thought.. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witchetty_grub]
I’d try to dip them in Vege-/Marmite before ingestion…
Oooo now those look good. The question is… where you find such an…. appetizing… crawler….
When we moved house I found quite a few of them under a pile of wood. My father-in-law suggested I try one.. I’m like, no, you first. Supposedly they are tasty roasted.. Not for me, thanks.
“My guess is, Australia, being in rather isolated part of the world with rough beginnings, had to go with certain foods that were inexpensive/low maintenance/ readily available”
You may not know it, but you have said something very deep. That is, in fact, the source of *all* ethnic foods.
The Chinese, for instance, didn’t invent “Birds nest soup” because they were tired of steak every day, they did it because someone was hungry enough to try feeding their starving kids a bunch of twigs fouled with bird stuff!
Which would also explain ‘head cheese’ and blood sausage.
Whoa dude… deep? *puffs* Really?
But seriously, you did lose me right after you said “tired of steak every day” I just dont see how thats possible.
I concur.. I love my steak!
I loved the Cohen the Barbarian comments from the Pratchett novel “Interesting Times”, traveling through the nation that analogs for China:
“You know what the big regional dish is around here? Pig’s ear soup! Do you know what that means?”
“They are a very industrious people who don’t waste anything?”
“No! It means some bastard stole the rest of the pig!”
The bird nests used for the soup are actually made of dried saliva.
Does that make it better or worse they make soup with them?
You are correct!
Still, the first guy to eat it was definitely very, very hungry.
The thing that always amazes me is how self-sustained the aboriginal population were… they were nomadic and populated some of the most ‘uninhabitable’ parts of Aus
They’re alot like the American Indians, including getting shafted by the government.
Ugh, the greatest mistake I ever made while visiting Australia was saying “yes” when asked if I wanted “the lot” on my cheeseburger. Seriously, I thought I’d get lettuce, onion. pickle…you know, the lot! Got all that AND beets and egg and all sorts of nasties. I died a little on the inside that day.
That’s just so many kinds of wrong. *has a sad for Eddie*
McDonald’s beets its meat?
Wait… whut?
ROTFLMAO
Not only that, but they advertise the fact on TV! Is nothing sacred?
What’s next with you convict wankers at McD’s?
Chicken chokin’? Snake spitting? Monkey mauling?
Muffin buffin?
Better call PITA to handle this one…
LOLLOLLOLLOLLOL
My dog is grumpy because I woke him with all the lolling!!
What a great thread!
this has probably been said up there already, but an Australian friend of mine said that beets on burgers is the same concept as the American practice of pickles on burgers – something crunchy* and a bit tangy to add a bit to the meat/bread combination. She finds the notion of pickles on burgers as gross a I find the notion of beets on burgers, but apparently we’re actually doing the same thing.
*In theory. I’ve *heard* of crunchy pickles on burgers, but…
Personally I’m not keen on the idea of beets or dill pickles on burgers, but then I don’t happen to like either of them in the first place. I’m fine with the idea of pickles made from something I do like, such as a proper (not most store-bought then) onion pickle, sweetcorn relish…
by the by, eddie, you should go to a local show/carnival/fair and get a pluto pup, basically the same thing
Or so wiki and my 1/2 yankee friend tell me…
They do look similar, but it looks like the batter is different. Now, if they could use our sausages with their batter, man, that would be a winner!
I’d talk to a corn dog… while eating it
in the left a longer mic
“And will 97.3 PLEASE put your dildo away!!”
Isn’t it funny how most microphones are fallic symbols shoved in people’s faces. Is it really the media saying “Blow me!”?
They had to stop interviewing Monica Lewinsky with those because she kept trying to deep throat them. You don’t want to know what Paris Hilton did with them. Let’s just say the reporter didn’t get it back. *gulp*
Is that *gulp* or another sucking sound?!?!? Then it’d def be lost for enternity, I think the midget from Austin Powers is still stuck in there!!!
This one is actually pretty funny.
Yeah I had a lol
Indeed, although it does have subliminal message of “eat a corndog… NOW!”
*looks up from corndog*
Huh?
“I’m a dorkfish…..he caught me on a corndog! I was just swimmin’ ’round underneath the ocean, and I thought to myself ‘what’s that corndog doing underneath the ocean?!’”

Eeeww, now I can’t look at the LOL anymore. Thanks guys.
