. . . you got Father's Favourite on there though, right?

I'm American, but I lived with an Aussie dude for years. He couldn't understand why Americans like pickles so much. Getting used to beetroot on burgers was a trip, but now I like it. He was big on Father's Favorite, though when he explained it to me, I could not imagine why anyone would want to eat it, but after visiting an Aussie owned pie shop near our house, I feel like I understand Aussie food ways a little better.

I wish I'd never discovered Tim Tams though . . . so, so good.

Not familiar with Father's Favourite; but I'll generally throw a smoky BBQ sauce on for sure! Must admit I love pickles served on and as a side with burgers, can't get enough of them.

Pies are amazing, and there's a multitude of flavoured Tim-Tams as well; Honeycomb, dark chocolate, double coated, caramel, mint.. And they'll do limited run flavours as well every now and then.

Hope I haven't sparked any cravings now :)

I wonder if you've heard this Duke Ellington tune. My favorite is Ella Fitzgerald's version. It uses a great colloquialism in the lyrics: "lower than a snake in a wagon track."

That's the way I feel about people that mention Tim Tams when they aren't available in country! :)
