Hi there all. The name's Michael ( or Mick if you prefer ). I live in Australia and like the finer foods in life. I enjoy dining out ( in restaurants and by the BBQ ! ), and a nice wine with my meal ( or beer - depends on the fare )
Lurked for a while and decided we Aussies are little represented here, so hope you don't mind if I stick my big nog in. There's not really any NG's with local content ( will have to fix that maybe one day ? ). But hopefully, you'll let me rest here for a while.
Cheers !
Mick. =========
Welcome to the crew Mick! Nice to have you...
Any particular favorite foods (as in specifics!!)?

I find Australian cuisine ( as I know it ) similar to Californian cuisine ( as I know it ).
Michael, we don't have meat pies nor beetroot in our hamburgers. We are lacking in some essential nutrients here in California. I do have a personal supply of Vegemite though.

Doesn't Ovaltine fill the same nutritional niche as Vegemite?
I consume lots of Ovaltine, and I justify it by telling myself, "this is taking the place of Vegemite."

I like Ovaltine too (Chocolate flavor), but it cannot replace Vegemite. They are entirely different. I doubt that Ovaltine would be very good spread on toast.

LOL ! Ok - got me there. I did however have a VERY authentic meat pie in SF once. Just like home, it was terrific.
As for beetroot in the burgers ... well, you've got to have beetroot at a barbie too ! People would look at me a bit weird over there for that 😉
That's pickled beetroot, right? I make my own several times a year, but hvae never tried it on a burger.

yup ! here's a recipe ( although I would call this a 'burger with the lot' ... an aussie burger shouldn't have pineapple, IMO )
I'd be skipping both the pineapple slice and the egg!
Wayne
Don't miss trying it Wayne! The egg makes a nice addition. The pineapple is pretty good too. I have to admit that I don't like all this together though -- mostly because I can't open my mouth far enough. The beetroot is the best thing though - substitute it for the usual dill pickle.

I've had Hawaiian burgers with pineapple and it didn't appeal. I've had a fried egg on a breaded veal cutlet (Veal a la Holstein, I believe), and I did like that, but I can't feature it on a burger.
I absolutely love pickled beets, so I'm sure I'd love that on a burger.

Yep. Schnitzel a la Holstein should also have 2 anchovy fillets crossed over the egg as well. Yummy!
How could I have forgotten the anchovies! Yes, they were there. The place where I used to order this is back in Ohio. Have been there in over 5 years. I have found a great German restaurant here in Mesa, but of all the veal dishes they offer, this is not one of them.

Oh yeah!
Do you make your own? I have a great recipe from my great aunt.
Hee, hee! Just the "Original" and "Chocolate" as far as I know. Original is fine, I just happen to be a lover of chocolate.
Charlie
Didn't they make an "orange" for a very short time? It was terrible.
BOB
Lordy! I can't imagine!
Charlie
It was *BAD* (as in terrible). I'm pretty sure it was Ovaltine. Whatever it was, my Mom only bought it once, thank goodness. My sisters didn't like the regular or the chocolate so Mom was trying to find something that they would drink. I guess nobody else liked it either because a few years later I tried to find it as a joke gift for a sister and nobody could find it.

No I don't. I have in the distant past, but I have grown quite lazy these days. I now purchase them in a jar. Not like my mother made them, but satisfactory. I'd love to see your recipe! I might get inspired!
