Childhood Memories
1.Choc Mint Minties


Oh Wow! I almost forgot about these, we used to get them from N.Z. (yes that is an awesome lolly that we couldnt get!) My Mum used to bring us back a bag each as kids. Why did you never release these here Allens ?you bastards!

In case you dont have these in America here is a picture of the original version that is still easily avaliable


2. 'Hamburger with the lot'

We used to get a hamburger with the lot from the local take-away. The problem is the shop has since closed so we can partake in thier version of Aussie Hamburger perfection no longer.
This is a sample shot so you can see kind of what I mean, but these ones were better!

FYI the old standard Aussie hamburger with the lot: Beef patty, cheese, bacon, egg, beetroot, grilled pineapple, tomato, lettuce, fried onions, sesame seed bun and TOMATO sauce. Available everywhere in Aus, before some crap US chain came.

3. Making Indian with my little Sister

When I still lived at home, my mum brought home an Indian cookbook. This book inspired my sister ans I so much. We would get home from High School and spend the next few hours preparing and Indian feast for my parents. An Entree (appetiser to you crazy Americans who dont know french!) A couple of currys, a few raitas and some flavoured rice. It was great! The recipes where full of spices, chilli and ginger and garlic. We had so much FUN!. I really miss doing this with you little sister. The best part was that mum would get home from work and be so happy :) hmm I have to make some of those recipes, there are discussions about who actually should be in possesion of the book going on for the last few years.

4. Oma's Apful rice and custard! or Milk Rice and Custard and apful mousse

My sister and I loved having dinner at Oma and Opa's and having this for dessert! hmm I think I need to pay Oma a visit (and bribe her to make this for me ;)

5. Oma's Butter Cream Cake for birthday's
When we were kids, Oma would make a butter cream cake. It was sooooooo goood! I think I have written about this before... 3 layers butter cream, cherries or pineapple. Yum! and she never makes it anymore... But I hardly ever got it for my birthday as it is in december and it would be too hot. I was always so jealous.

A new question courtesy of Me!

What is one food that you never ever wish to have again from your childhood?
When I was in 5th grade we went on school camp (this is for you farmgrl!) and we went with another primary school that was considered disadvantaged. Because they were disadvantaged the goverenment gave them lots of camping equipment and this is why we went with them as we had none!
When it came to dinner we were dished up a spoonful of instant mashed potates, a spoon full of dehydrated peas and 3 chicken nuggets. The first day I thought "yay mashed potatoes!" Then I had a mouthful, blurgh what is this crap? I have never liked it since then, I guess that's what happens when you grow up on the real stuff. To make matters worse we all got, I mean about 60 kids got food poisioning and there were only pit toilets!. It was horrible. I remember getting off the bus and my mum being shocked at how much weight I lost.
Ok now I get to tag 3 people!

Reid cause I know it will involve spam :P
Michele cause you must pay to be my friend LOL!
Lyn cause I want to here some more about the beautiful place where you grew up!
Stephanie cause your wish is my desire :)
