Oh yes !!!......I buy these Mac.....now ya talking !!!...marmite is more tastier ...trust me !!!

LIES! LIES! LIES! Marmite is totally cacky...textures wrong, colour is wrong, flavour is wrong, nothing us better than vegemite.

I'm with you @Doreensfree...wouldn't know a fried okra from a pickled one. Dunno I I can even source that here. It must be good if our Mr Health n Fittness like a it. SO @Boo ... einquiring minds wanna know, what do you eat it with?

They're not Golden or Trip Top but yeah mate there the real deal. They will work. You still need to toast then before you eat them. I usually have to drop the toaster 2 times to toast them enough.

Then butter them while hot and pop ya s off poached bum nuts on top.

Surely, somewhere near you sells vegemite. Be brave, just don't spread it super thick, it's like chillies you have to build up your tolerance.

Try one with honey too....not with the egg, just butter/marg and honey.

Peanut.  Shorty.  Welcome to the family boys

Oh, I see what you did there, Boo and Cash needed to rectify the gender balance, the boys are in the majority again, with a spare.

And they are delicious!  Savory or sweet. You can even have em with penisbutter. I'm usually have them with vegemite, it melts into the holes. Don't mind em with golden syrup either, or honey.

@Mona did you like them?

@Mac#23 crumpets and English muffins are you 100% not comparable. If you can buy crumpets I'm cool with that. There are a tonne of recipes online for crumpets that might suit you better. They be Aussie or Brit so the ingredients might be called something else. The recipe I put in is very similar to what I remember my great aunty pat making.

I'll be doing biscuits and gravy this weekend. So @Cbdave who is now the sausage guru, do you reckon I should use some sausage mince dressed up with sage?  

It is so hard to do an iconic Aussie breaky without vegemite....but I'll give you a recipe for crumpets...then you can make the breakkie @Cbdave suggested:

https://www.recipetineats.com/crumpet-recipe/

When you get to the bit about how you to eat them, you still need to toast then as described, you then need to butter them and top with a soft poached egg, letting the yoke seep into the holes. Crack of pepper and salt then ya done.

If that's too tricky, toast some sour dough, smash some avocado on it and top with poached egg.

So what if I do an I see your biscuit and raise you biscuit and you have to make the most Aussie biscuit of all...????.... cos to make an iconic Aussie breaky ya have to do vegemite.

Yeah nah hot dogs are different...texture, 'meat....Um do you have Italian/continentsl sausages?

Wot do your sausages look like?

1. Wondering if Boo got a mini ass.

2. Trying to frickin pick something f or Mac to make for Breckie 

Um are sausages the same in Aus as US???

Sausage: 

@Doreensfree ... you've been down here, is there something we do for Breckie that's particularly Aussie? I was thinking big breakkie ??

@Cbdave how the he'll is the poor bugger supposed to find crumpets in the USA.

Alright let's start with breakfast.

Hmmm....need some direction here Mr America...I'm thinking...

A desert

A soup

A main

Yeah, nah, maybe kinda sorta...

Maybe a chicken dish, we both have that readily available.
