@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.

Scouse is yummo. I make this in winter.

Did anyone else just imagine a little miss in a tutu and gumboots off to get her eggs with a basket....wait, nope, backpeddle...no chooks n eggs for Maddie...Boo had a copperhead or something slithery like that in his yard and they like chook pens.

See.... so this challenge might go over a few weeks. I'm going the through me list of Aussie food...it's not all gunna be readily available overseas....fark, mighta bit off more than I can chew here. At the moment everything I think of is dessert or soup or salad... or kiddy party food. Hmmmm. Anything you won't eat @Mac#23???

We have pen1s butter, vaginamite is just better. Do you ever kid your peanut butter with honey? (Don't have a peanut butter brand named Skippy..Skippy is act show kangaroo)

Wot you talkin bout Willis, isn't Skippy a kangaroo?

I think we, the cooks, could also have points...I mean if we just leave it up to a vote all the Brits will vote for the Scots and all the yanks will vote for Mac and well little old me will just have Dave...that's too biased a system....cos well national pride. Lol... Public vote could be a part of it....Then we could have a point system.....look, smell, taste, would you eat again, ..... so maybe 3, 3, 3, & 1....so a p possible 10 points for each.

So...will need to remember that things that are not too expensive here and really common, maybe not so up north. Hmmm....rules out most native ingredients for me....might take lamb off the table too. Do we have 3 categories...1...4....???? Breakfast Snack/sandwich Biscuit ....So for me that would be a "cookie" for Mac that would be some wierd looking mutant scone. Main Meal...so meat and veg type th ikng, pasta..etc Dessert Kids party food....seriously though we better not have this, I mean it's a given that I'll win...Aussies kick arse at kid party food, it's just a fact. Soup.

No roo, what's wrong with eating skippy?

So Team USA ... will be Mac, with @Jillar in the corner with a bucket and towel. Team Scotland ... If they front ...will be Weegie, with Fluffy....just remember we won't have porridge draws. Oright, @Cbdave you got me back mate?

Vegemite would probs be out as an ingredient, cos it's kinda hard to get where you are isn't it?

@Mac#23 is trying to convince me biscuits should be served with gravy. Lumpy white gravy that looks not too pleasant. Now the first issue language biscuits are what Mac calls cookies. But a friendly bit of food sledging later I had a cunning plan....why don't we swap recipes and make each other's stuff...then taste it and rate it. Then I thought that @WeegieWoman is a keen little cook...she'll might be in on this...that would give us a tri nation tournament for our cup. Australia v US v Scotland....we could invite Reci, but really what does he have to offer maple syrup and poutine. Step one...convince Weegie and Mac to play. Step b....set the rules of engagement...inc scoring system. Step iii.... select recipes...might wanna consult with your compatriots for that. Step next....make sure the others can get the ingredients in their countries. Step e.... set the date, make & rate.

Do you think I would deliberately suggest something unpleasant?

^ You know you don't right. Ok if I think of an Aussie dish (with ingredients you can get easily) do you wanna cook each other's stuff and taste and compare? Edit : (^ for @Mac#23 and @WeegieWoman.. cos @jillar has already told us she can't cook for sh1t....we could have a whole tread about ... the Try Nation Cup....so you won't get what I did there, it's a rugby think.)

I reckon all things considered you should also get a miniature pig, and a miniature goat...our Princess Maddie would love a mini menagerie and you could do real farmer walks...Oh get a couple cooks while your at it and Maddie could get the eggs each morning....you could knock up some pens and coops with your awesome skills...and we could help name all the critters (see I know the merican lingo)...go on, go on, I dare ya.

And you mob reckon you have the right to dis vegemite?

Is that cheese sauce?

Dunno, I'd have to smell it first it doesn't look much chop. Seriously though have I ever refused a taste test?

Of mutated scones convered in lumpy, odd, looking goo? Should I be?

You know those are biscuits, or bickies if you like. So says everyone in the world, except you mob. Why do you call scones biscuits?

Use...free lawn mowing, although won't do much for ya street cred, defo a few points off the man card fircsaying I've got a pet miniature donkey.. Hmmm keeping with the theme of your other fur baby you could name it June if a girl...or Carter if a boy. If it was me I'd call a boy Mini donkey Trevor or Deefa (d-far)....as in Deefar Donkey Other names you might prefer: Gains ....have you seen me gains (<proof that Jillar was speaking Aussie not pirate) Macros Dumbell HIIT Reps Boof...actually like this one for a boy Groove Carp Eddy Riffles ...cos s/he's just itty bitty Skeg Oright I got it....NOPE

Why on earth would you put gravy on biscuits? What is wrong with you people????

Why would you put gravy on biscuits?

On the day after the night that the ' worst QLD team ever' proved it's heart not talent that wins it's a NOPE...and suck sh1t cockroaches!
