@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.

I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Anyone want to be a USA food consultant?

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?

Might I suggest for voting that each contestant take a pic of the food they created and post them in a poll? The one people are more likely to want just by the looks of it wins 🤔

Ooh, you could invite any country to enter to win then do brackets to pick the grand Prize winner!!!

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.

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. 

Yea, I think I got confused about the game lol. So mac cooks a recipe you give him and he gives you a recipe to cook?

Ok, Jillar is on the same page now despite the edibles and Coors light.  😂

This definitely sounds like fun.

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???

Knock yourselves out!

Here in Canada, we already have our three main food groups figured out and we don't deviate from them for nobody😆

Scouse anyone ????.....All the way from Liverpool ....our dish of the Day !!!!

Scouse is yummo. I make this in winter.

 

 

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.

Yum! Biscuits and gravy is a weekend breakfast special around here! I don't make lumpy gravy tho, unless you're talking about the sausage; which is the only way to make true biscuits and gravy😋 If you want the whole breakfast bowl experience, add a little scrambled eggs on top

Jesus wept!!!

Enough muckn about. I’ll fire the first shot across the bow.

Breakfast.

Keep it simple. A freshly egg layer this morning at dawn. Yes I’ve got chooks.

Poached in the microwave and onto a warm unbuttered toasted English crumpet. Cut through and watch the warm yolk run into those holes!

Salt cracked black pepper and consume 

 

I'm okay with chicken, steak, sausage, turkey and even pasta. You choose either main course, stater(soup or appetizer), sandwich or even breakfast. If chicken is picked we will give each other a chicken dish and so on. 

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

 

Alright let's start with breakfast.

 

 

Scusey.......Biscuits and gravy......you kiddin me ....

A hobnob with thick lumpy gravy......where,s the bucket !!!!😖😞

Of course biscuits and gravy.

I Think I'll Pass Thank you kind sir !!!!!

You don't know what you're missing Doreen, especially since you LOVE sausage!!!

@Doreensfree, those lumps in the gravy are cut up sausage, so yummy!!!

So please.....

Someone send me a recipe for this ...maybe I need my taste buds to decide for me ...

Biscuits and sausage ...I don't get it ....

Hobnob..sausage... thick gravy ...I carnt see it working lol...

@Mac#23 send these guys the recipe and let the fun begin! I think you guys are really going to like it. And then too our foreign friends will be able to make a true biscuit and won't have to call their cookies that anymore hee,hee....

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 ??
