It's Common to eat.....

My favorite topic, FOOD! Now everyone puts different things on their burgers, but you ever put a fried egg and beet root on it? Well, that is pretty common here. Beet root is just slices of cranberry. The only time I see cranberry in America is during Thanksgiving dinner. To be honest, its all pretty good and worth trying.

When you go to 7-11 at home, you can get a Coca-Cola or Cherry slushie always. However, here everything is raspberry. You can get either the Coke or a raspberry slushie anywhere you go.




Almost any chicken sandwich or kebab is served with some type of chili sauce. I REALLY like the sweet chili sauce. It will defiantly be one of the things I miss. There is also a variety of what I consider exotic meats to try. Kangaroo is one of my favorite meats her. Similar to steak, but has a unique taste. Roo burgers are pretty common and delicious to get in Australia too. Crocodile is also delicious. When I was in Cairns, I ate this awesome croc-burger. Lastly is camel meat. Camel is a bit dry and chewy. You really have to cook camel to loosen up all the meats fibers. I had a camel pie (seen below) at "Bo-jangles" bar in Alice Springs. It was okay, but even better was camel sausage that my tour guide cooked while I traveled in Outback.



Today, I felt lost in translation when I went in the local Woolworth's grocery store. I wanted rice, but I never knew there were so many types of rice. Uncle Ben is not in Australia. Thinking about it, I haven't seen Aunt Jemima or Mrs. Buttersworth either.

It's not Ketchup, it's tomato (ta-mate-a') sauce here. For breakfast, most places offer bacon & egg Sandwiches rather than sausage & egg sandwiches. The bacon is not dark stripes either. It's more like Canadian bacon. It's more thin, pink, and round.
