Megaz Posted December 24, 2008 I have english muffins all the time. I've never heard of an Australian muffin. I'm also Australian. 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted December 24, 2008 Are you not talking about "Australian Toaster Biscuits"? Because I much prefer those over the (similar) English muffins. They're less spongy and taste better with butter. 0 Share this post Link to post
GreyGhost Posted December 24, 2008 "Australian Toaster Biscuits"? Am I the only Australian who's never heard of them? They might be similar to a yeastless bread we know as Damper - only smaller. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kyka Posted December 24, 2008 GreyGhost said:"Australian Toaster Biscuits"? Am I the only Australian who's never heard of them? No you aren't the only Australian who has never heard of "Australian toaster biscuits." Though I would probably try some if I ever get the chance. Here's a thought... Maybe we should import some from the States. Just on a side note, does McDonalds in the States sell "Aussie Burgers" by any chance? They sell those here. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes said:The same thing as an English or American muffin, only baked by smiling, sun tanned guys with corked hats saying weird things like "G'day mate" and asking you some random stuff about putting some "shrimps on the barbie". Oh and sometimes they wear crocodile leather pants, too. I'd also add that said smiling, tan guys also say "crikey" and have keep kangaroos as pets, instead of dogs. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sharessa Posted December 26, 2008 GreyGhost said:"Australian Toaster Biscuits"? Am I the only Australian who's never heard of them? I've known a lot of British people who didn't know what an English muffin is too. Kind of like how Hawaiians don't know what Hawaiian pizza is and Canadians don't know what Canadian bacon is and French don't know what French toast is. They might be similar to a yeastless bread we know as Damper - only smaller. That actually looks just like them. 0 Share this post Link to post

Its like old style lemonade that tastes like it has actual lemons in it. Really sweet and bitter at the same time. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted December 26, 2008 And let's not forget liberty cabbage...although in Greece we are quick to use "Greek coffee" or "Byzantine Coffee" to indicate what the rest of the world calls Turkish Coffee. Similarly, I've seen normal filter coffee being called "French coffee", "American Coffee", "German Coffee" etc. in Greece, Italy and Germany respectively :-p 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted December 26, 2008 Creaphis said:So it seems that foods are only labeled with nationality outside of that nation. Or from whatever nation is perceived for using them. E.g. Italians think that (mostly) Americans drink "that watered down coffee", Greeks think that filter coffee was brought/used by the French etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
