Ask an aussie anything!

No. They are bad over here. We also have less Ozzie themed junk on the walls.

The service, food and the Bloomin' Onion are much better in the US based restaurants.

Well, I guess that that the OUTBACK Steakhouse restaurants in Australia are like "WHAT-ever, mate. We live here. We are in Australia." :biggrin1: That would be like having Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon in the States. We are like "WHAT-ever!!! Cowboy oriented steakhouse theme."

At the OUTBACK Steakhouse near where I live in the States...I get the OUTBACK Prime Rib grilled WELLDONE and double steamed vegetables. No dessert. (They never have a good dessert there.)

I have had the grilled pork chops with the marmalade sauce. THAT was really good. But they discontinued it.

 

[invisibleman]

of course! Vegemite on toast is one of my breakfast staples. It puts a rose in every cheek!

Funny; that's not what happened when I tried it. uke:

Vegemite and Marmite aren't palatable American breakfast spreads. More for Britons and Australians, though.

I actually love Marmite. I had it for the first time in Wales in September and brought a small bottle home which is rapidly being depleted. :biggrin1:

Let's stick to beer. Has Brisbane got a brew of its own? Or what brand is most popular there?

I dunno why we like it, but we do!

The main brewery in brisbane is castlemaine perkins, and their main beer is XXXX. Its a pretty run of the mill beer, however its very widely available and pretty popular here. My favourite australian brewers would have to be Coopers (from south australia) and Tooheys (from new south wales).

If you were any more bloody condescending towards the native people of Australia you'd sound like a fat arsed, over paid government spin doctor.

Is that based on something in this thread?

For US-based LPSG-ers:

I have found a website, based in the States, where you can order some things imported from Australia. You can order food...candy...shirts...hats...etcetera.

Check the site out: About Australia.
They take credit card, money orders, or checks for payment and shipping.

I think most australians have a good deal of respect and admiration for kylie. She's seen a bit like the girl next door who made it to international stardom. To be honest though i had to look up the other 3 :redface: maybe i'm too young, or just not music oriented enough

Does it piss you off when characters in a sci-fi movie say things like "It is Spring back on Earth" ignoring your entire hemisphere?

Is Clyde a common name in Australia and do you only put shrimps on Barbie or do you allow Barbie to play with other sizes as well?

 

[Calboner]

Are there any Australian philosophers not named Bruce?

We've already been ignored by christmas, we're pretty used to it

I can safely say that i do not know of anybody named clyde, so I suppose its not very common. Oh and Barbie can get some quite large pieces of meat here, shrimps aren't that popular really. :tongue:

Yes, but they aren't very successful. :biggrin1:
