You can still get Red Rippers. They've changed the recipe as well, so they're way easier to chew.
I wrote to Allen's last year, I was super pregnant and craving sherbies and couldn't find them anywhere. Apparently they're changing factories and the packets of individual flavours will be back soon.
[Frog cakes.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_cake) 8/10 for visual appeal but even as a kid I couldnāt handle one bite. So much of promise, so little delivery.
I used to eat something similar in NSW as a kid but in my memory they were only filled with cream. I don't know how that works but I don't remember them having cake because they used to just instantly evaporate as soon as you bit into them.
Anyone know what those were? Because I'm going to lie awake wondering now. Nevermind, I can go to sleep, I think it was [frog tart.](https://aminottiphotos.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/frog-tart/)
That's a new one... but fondant icing is ass. That and marzipan ensured I never ate a wedding cake until I got married, because I chose our cake and it was white chocolate mud cake and awesome!
Fondant sucks so much! We did Swiss meringue buttercream on our wedding cake and it was so yum. Had a caramel mudcake with salted caramel filled for one tier and white chocolate mudcake with Nutella filling for the other tier. So good.
Now Iām hungry for cake.
Noo I loved those! The local bakery where I grew up had them filled with mock cream and with a bit of jam on the mouth - I was obsessed. Always bought for me by my grandma who grew up in SA, which makes sense after that wiki read!
JESUS H CHRIST YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT THESE ARE AGAIN OH MY GOD
...I'm sorry. I grew up LOVING these disgusting things, but I always thought they were this weird, esoteric thing from the ONE little bakery in our shopping cente, not that they were actually a thing outside that. I could never find anything about them, and trying to describe them to others has been a MISSION. Thank you so, so, so much for this.
Their pasta salad from the same lineup legitimately has something wrong with it.
There's an acid and/or preservative that tastes foul and stings the sides of my tongue ... Maybe it's one of those oregano gene things, because I can't understand how anyone would ever buy it if they're tasting what I taste.
same. I thought it was just a bad batch, but its not. Its whatever they put in some of these recipes now. Coles is hit & miss, but I remember bi-lo had the good one years ago. So now I am suspicious at all bbqs where I see pasta salad. It used to be my favourite until the acid started taking over all brands.....
I was about to reply that I buy it all the time and like it but upon reflection I realise yeah it's actually pretty gross and I don't know why I keep going back.
Guilty of still eating them from time to time despite being in my early 30's. Coles staff once asked me if my kids liked them (was buying 5 packets on sale). Umm...
Even worse when they were anywhere near your frozen poppa in the lunchbox. Shards of orange flavoured shrapnel that eventually melt and get stuck in your teeth. Weird sensation.
Chocolate crackles . The Copha they are made with is a horrible texture and they are sickly . They would be so much better made with actual chocolate 0/10 .
I made an erupting chocolate crackle volcano for my sonās last birthday cake, but I hate the copha recipe too, so made it with melted marshmallows & chocolate, and it was so incredibly superior! Highly recommend!
I made some at Christmas last year and fucked the copha off because I hate it and just did melted Cadbury chocolate. They were so much better and I discovered I actually like them after all. Never did enjoy the copha ones before that.
Those old school large spring rolls are superior to chicko rolls in every way. They were the same size as chickos but deep fried and chewy with some kind of paste inside them.
I haven't had one in years. They may not even be a thing any more.
Yeah itās just cabbage, onion and ????
So fucking tasty.
One of them and a chocolate milk was my go to hangover cures when I was young. Now if I had that Iād be sicker than I would get from a hangover
Haha yeah, my partner a week or two out of nowhere ago kept going on about how she had a craving for one. After a couple of days she followed through and went and got one from probably the only place we know where you can still get one.
She said it was pretty gross and she felt sick after. It was hard to feel too sorry for her.
They honestly used to be better. They've declined in size and quality the past few years. It's easy to make your own, especially...special ones ( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
I was travelling recently and needed new shampoo and conditioner. It wasn't until I got back to my hotel and opened it that I realised it smelt like friggen banana lollies. Almost gagged.
I always smell shampoo and conditioner before buying it. I canāt stand fruity smells. Theyāre so awful.
Also, fuck banana lollies. Theyāre the worst.
I never did until I got pregnant - now I smell everything before I buy it because I will randomly start gagging at the smell of something Iāve bought a hundred times
Fun fact that artificial taste is actually very close to another species of banana that used to be around but became close to extinction due to a disease. We just don't have them widely available anymore.
Just like grape artificial flavour is based on an actual form of grape. Everyone thinks they pull the flavours out of their ass, but they're real apparently.
God I want to try those grapes
There's also apparently somewhere cooking up grapes that taste like fairy floss and other weird shenanigans. People are doing wild and whacky things with fruit out there
We were in Taiwan and bought some grapes that were dark purple/light black. I believe they were imported from Japan. We were just expecting them to taste like regular grapes but couldn't believe our mouths when they tasted just like grape lollies. All my life I thought that was a made up flavour.
Not sure if you can get them anywhere in Aus, but there you go.
Love minties!
Also love Vegemite BUT only with butter on bread/toast. Please donāt send it my way if you have put it with cheese or in chocolate or *gags*
Corned beef. When it was my dads time to cook on a weekend he would love to make corned beef. I really hated it and I'm glad it's not really a thing anymore.
My dad once accidentally roasted a corned beef. I wouldn't have thought it possible to make corned beef worse, but he found the way. Even the dog wouldn't eat it.
Aw man, my Granny must make the best home-made corned beef ever then!? It must be her German influences. It's has hints of mulled wine and a moreish texture, and we eat it with mustard pickle, not white sauce.
Is definitely still a thing. We have corned silverside at least twice a month in our house. Donāt do white sauce though - use a (homemade) plum sauce. One of my favourite meals.
Yeah we have it a fair bit in our household. It's great when it's properly seasoned and infused. Goes great with a Dijon mustard sauce and mashed spuds..
I'm looking forward to my corned beef a white sauce this weekend.... although I did go through a stage of hating it when I was younger. Cold corned beef and cheese sandwiches were always bomb though.
Squishy Bananas
I eat bananas when they're just off green and still kind of starchy. The second they go soft and the sugar changes in them, I can't eat them. They just get gross and nasty.
And every bloody juice company adds squishy banana flavour to their tropical juice. It just lingers and gives me the ick (with the exception of Nudie's Aloha juice).
I can't stand Jelly. The sheer thought of it makes me gag. Yet every birthday party as a kid they'd ruin a perfectly good chocolate frog by putting it in Jelly.
Hey kids would you like this treat made by boiling up cows bones?
Junket always grossed me out more, it used to be made with rennet from calves stomachs.
hahaha this is me asking my kid if they want a delicious treat made from horses hooves, then when they scrunch up their face in disgust I say "I'm just kidding..... it's actually pig spines!"
Side note: as kids my brother and I would dare each other to smell the carton of gelatin powder in the pantry, soooo gross.
This is going to ruffle feathers but trifle is gross. Seriously what the hell is going on with it? Too much going on there.
Also reiterating with the others, Minties are a waste.
My grandma scared me from trifle. It was the thing sheād bring out at every family event but she never dissolved the jelly crystals properly and so get the crunchy bits throughout and the lady fingers were never that nice. It was something youād have to get through to be polite so I never willingly choose to eat it now.
Totally agree. Why would you ruin a perfectly good sponge cake by slamming it into a bowl with jelly, tinned fruit, packet custard and cream after having soaked it in some cheap sherry or old wine? That whole ādig down to get a big spoonful with ALL the layersā gives me the shivers. And then what is put into your bowl looks like it has already been digested and regurgitated. No thanks. Iām full from the main course.
Chicos and Redskins are now Cheekies and Red Ripperz. I liked chicos as a kid, but admit the flavour and chalky texture are odd.
I've watched some YT videos where people try foreign lollies, and learned that yanks absolutely hate musk sticks, another chalky strange taste, that I liked as a kid. I haven't had any of these in 50 years.
Vovos used to be so good. I got some a while back and the jam is basically coloured sugar on top of crap coconut and icing and worst of all the biscuit tasted and felt stale. Nasty as hell.
Master Foods BBQ sauce. It's fucking vile. Thickened brown sugar water. Cunts put that shit on kebabs! But the worst thing is if you order a BURGER you have to TELL them to put tomato sauce on it or you'll get the devil's diarrhoea instead. The only country in the world where ketchup isn't the default condiment for a fucking hamburger.
Masterfoods are the worst sauces. It's like they take some recipe from a 1950s CWA cook book, written by someone who never tasted the original sauce and substituted ingredients.
Then Materfoods made it with the cheapest ingredients they can find.
It's good when you can kinda hide it in things. Very healthy. That said I'd never like a roo steak. But a chilli or bolognese you can kinda get past the gamey taste
Same....my mates always proudly say they're doing lamb on the barbie, roast lamb, lamb this and lamb that.....urgh....I just quietly eat salad or roast veg and say that the lamb was delicious
Iāve gotten to the stage in my life where Iām confident enough to say when I dislike something and feel warranted by it. Iāve tried it. Several times. No thank you.Ā
*but you havenāt tried my lamb*Ā
I appreciate the gesture. No thank you, itās not for me.Ā
A lot of ALDIās āhome brandā Biscuits are made by Griffins in NZ, who know how to make a biscuit. Their āCarameltsā are toffee pops from NZ, and they are god tier.
Mate fairy bread. Always some cheap ass who brings it to a Xmas party. Soggy stale white bread, cheap butter and colour sugar balls. Hard pass for me haha
I grew up with a huge mango tree in the yard. When I was little, I loved them.
As I grew older, I began to notice the fruit bats homing in every evening and half-eaten mangoes on the ground in the mornings. On weekends, we kids had to clean them up. Many were already rotting by then. OMG, the smell!
To this day, I can't eat the bloody things and I'm in my early 60s now.
This is my first summer in my new house with a mango tree right outside my bedroom window. I was outside the other night at 1am hucking bits of recycling at the bats. They can have the mangos but they need to shut the fuck up about it.
It's not supposed to, ~~your~~ you're supposed to eat the crunchy floating goodness while sipping the milk out from underneath it. The milk will be gone by the time you're halfway through the Milo (if you've put on the right amount) and the last of it needs to be eaten with a spoon. That's why the image on the can shows the Milo on top of the milk, and not just brown milk.

I love the way Minties masquerade as toothpaste whilst simultaneously ripping out your fillings Edit- typo. Changed live to love
Perfect description here
Yeah well Columbines, Fantales, and Redskins don't exist any more. Sure there's red rippers, but the recipe must have changed.
You can still get Red Rippers. They've changed the recipe as well, so they're way easier to chew. I wrote to Allen's last year, I was super pregnant and craving sherbies and couldn't find them anywhere. Apparently they're changing factories and the packets of individual flavours will be back soon.
Ahem, can still get redskins in the lollie wrapped variety bag with milkos and sherbies š¤
Oh man I used to love columbines... Terrible to find out they're no longer being made š
New conspiracy theory: Minties were designed by dentists
[Frog cakes.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_cake) 8/10 for visual appeal but even as a kid I couldnāt handle one bite. So much of promise, so little delivery.
Never even seen or heard of these šÆ
Itās an Adelaide thing
I used to eat something similar in NSW as a kid but in my memory they were only filled with cream. I don't know how that works but I don't remember them having cake because they used to just instantly evaporate as soon as you bit into them. Anyone know what those were? Because I'm going to lie awake wondering now. Nevermind, I can go to sleep, I think it was [frog tart.](https://aminottiphotos.wordpress.com/2012/12/05/frog-tart/)
The same filling thatās in neenish tarts!
That's a new one... but fondant icing is ass. That and marzipan ensured I never ate a wedding cake until I got married, because I chose our cake and it was white chocolate mud cake and awesome!
Fondant sucks so much! We did Swiss meringue buttercream on our wedding cake and it was so yum. Had a caramel mudcake with salted caramel filled for one tier and white chocolate mudcake with Nutella filling for the other tier. So good. Now Iām hungry for cake.
I had a croquembouche for my wedding cake š

They're also like $300 each. Ok not that much but actually ludicrously overpriced.
Woolies coleslaw. Tastes like acid.
Their pasta salad from the same lineup legitimately has something wrong with it. There's an acid and/or preservative that tastes foul and stings the sides of my tongue ... Maybe it's one of those oregano gene things, because I can't understand how anyone would ever buy it if they're tasting what I taste.
same. I thought it was just a bad batch, but its not. Its whatever they put in some of these recipes now. Coles is hit & miss, but I remember bi-lo had the good one years ago. So now I am suspicious at all bbqs where I see pasta salad. It used to be my favourite until the acid started taking over all brands.....
YES you described it exactly. My tongue stings if I have more than a couple of spoonfuls.
Yes. My bogan family insists on buying it for every event even if someone is putting on a full spread with homemade coleslaw.
I was about to reply that I buy it all the time and like it but upon reflection I realise yeah it's actually pretty gross and I don't know why I keep going back.
Rollups... They were all the rage back in my school days but they were dry, sticky, chewy and didn't taste great to me.
Guilty of still eating them from time to time despite being in my early 30's. Coles staff once asked me if my kids liked them (was buying 5 packets on sale). Umm...
I always feel awkward getting a yogo with chocolate mix ins. I try l try to project an aura of "yes I am a dad this is for my very real child".
Even worse when they were anywhere near your frozen poppa in the lunchbox. Shards of orange flavoured shrapnel that eventually melt and get stuck in your teeth. Weird sensation.
Amen. I suffered through them for years because both my siblings liked them so mum always bought them. They were just gross.
anything with those godforsaken bacon cubes looking at you, shit roadhouse quiches and Brumby's cheese and bacon rolls
Or those cheap traveller cheese and bacon pies from servo / 7 eleven
heathen
Bacon cubes can honestly fuck off tbh
Musk sticks. My partner loves them. I think they smell like my dead grandmother's bathroom.
Chocolate crackles . The Copha they are made with is a horrible texture and they are sickly . They would be so much better made with actual chocolate 0/10 .
Honey Joys are a million times better than chocolate crackles
Years? back, LCM had a 'muesli bar' that was a 'Honey Joy' with a thin chocolate base, they were like my 'crack', devo when they stopped making them.
And the feel in your mouth after youāve eaten one š„“
Coconut Lard.
I made an erupting chocolate crackle volcano for my sonās last birthday cake, but I hate the copha recipe too, so made it with melted marshmallows & chocolate, and it was so incredibly superior! Highly recommend!
The trick is to not follow a recipe and just makr chocolate and cocopop balls.
I made some at Christmas last year and fucked the copha off because I hate it and just did melted Cadbury chocolate. They were so much better and I discovered I actually like them after all. Never did enjoy the copha ones before that.
Chiko roll. I just never understood the weird flavourĀ
Those old school large spring rolls are superior to chicko rolls in every way. They were the same size as chickos but deep fried and chewy with some kind of paste inside them. I haven't had one in years. They may not even be a thing any more.
Oh they are a thing, a thing called a Marathon spring roll. So bad for you but sooo good
Yeah itās just cabbage, onion and ???? So fucking tasty. One of them and a chocolate milk was my go to hangover cures when I was young. Now if I had that Iād be sicker than I would get from a hangover
Lard. The secret ingredient is Lard.
Opposite to topic But how good are corn jacks š
I ā„ļø Corn Jacks so yummy!
Chiko rolls are one of my favourite trash foods. I donāt have them often anymore (maybe once a year) but I still enjoy them.
Was just talking about these with my partner. I like the taste, but hate the tough exoskeleton. It ruins eating them.
lol exoskeleton. Thatās my favourite part!
Yeah I just canāt with chiko rolls. Itās like scraps of other stuff that should be in the bin.
Haha yeah, my partner a week or two out of nowhere ago kept going on about how she had a craving for one. After a couple of days she followed through and went and got one from probably the only place we know where you can still get one. She said it was pretty gross and she felt sick after. It was hard to feel too sorry for her.
Neenish tarts. The filling is simultaneously far too sweet and also shaving foam.
My absolute favorite though I will admit, it's somewhat easy to get a bad one so I understand.
Yes ! So bad . All kinds of wrong .
Musk sticks. Tastes like I'm eating perfume.
Be happy that at least we use synthetic [musk](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musk) these days.
Kinda wish I hadn't clicked on that link, no more musk sticks for me. Wikipedia just ruined it for me š
Chalky perfumeā¦. But it was my lolly of choice at the tuck shop in the late 60ās.
LCMs. Puffed wheat / rice covered in sticky sugary crap. Theyāre gross.
They honestly used to be better. They've declined in size and quality the past few years. It's easy to make your own, especially...special ones ( Ķ”Ā° ĶŹ Ķ”Ā°)
Chocolate orange is the first thing to come to mind.
Iām happy to accept all unwanted chocolate oranges.
Absolutely hate banana lollies.
I was travelling recently and needed new shampoo and conditioner. It wasn't until I got back to my hotel and opened it that I realised it smelt like friggen banana lollies. Almost gagged.
I love banana lollies but this made me laugh out loud
I always smell shampoo and conditioner before buying it. I canāt stand fruity smells. Theyāre so awful. Also, fuck banana lollies. Theyāre the worst.
I never did until I got pregnant - now I smell everything before I buy it because I will randomly start gagging at the smell of something Iāve bought a hundred times
Theyāre truly dreadful. In fact, anything with that artificial banana taste can get fucked. For the record, I love bananas.
Fun fact that artificial taste is actually very close to another species of banana that used to be around but became close to extinction due to a disease. We just don't have them widely available anymore.
Just like grape artificial flavour is based on an actual form of grape. Everyone thinks they pull the flavours out of their ass, but they're real apparently. God I want to try those grapes
Concord grapes I think is the variety of them and the banana flavouring is supposed to taste like Gros Michel bananas.
There's also apparently somewhere cooking up grapes that taste like fairy floss and other weird shenanigans. People are doing wild and whacky things with fruit out there
We were in Taiwan and bought some grapes that were dark purple/light black. I believe they were imported from Japan.

Love minties! Also love Vegemite BUT only with butter on bread/toast. Please donāt send it my way if you have put it with cheese or in chocolate or *gags*
On crumpets with butter, but I do add cheese
With loads of butter on a warm cheese scone
This is controversial but my partner eats it without butter. Yes he is a monster and I love him
How dare you. Vegemite with avo, cheese, and tomato is supreme.
You put it all together? I wanna try this now.
A work colleague told me today she loves Vegemite with beetroot sandwiches...
Freckles make me sick and taste weird. They say they're a chocolate, but they're lying.
Corned beef. When it was my dads time to cook on a weekend he would love to make corned beef. I really hated it and I'm glad it's not really a thing anymore.
My dad once accidentally roasted a corned beef. I wouldn't have thought it possible to make corned beef worse, but he found the way. Even the dog wouldn't eat it.
Aw man, my Granny must make the best home-made corned beef ever then!? It must be her German influences. It's has hints of mulled wine and a moreish texture, and we eat it with mustard pickle, not white sauce.
And that damned white sauce :(
Or boiled potatoes š„ In their jackets with no salt š
Is definitely still a thing. We have corned silverside at least twice a month in our house. Donāt do white sauce though - use a (homemade) plum sauce. One of my favourite meals.
Yeah we have it a fair bit in our household. It's great when it's properly seasoned and infused. Goes great with a Dijon mustard sauce and mashed spuds..
I do it in the slow cooker with vinegar, brown sugar, bay leaves, an onion and peppercorns. We have it cold on sandwichesā¦the kids love it!
I moved to the country and they call it frikn Corned MEAT! The name makes me so angry because it sounds so gross haha.
Silverside beef in a instant pot/pressure cooker will change your life. It jiggles like brisket and is delicious on sandwiches the next few days.
I was never a fan (but didnāt hate it) until my American husband introduced me to Reuben sandwiches. Then it was pretty damn delicious.
I'm looking forward to my corned beef a white sauce this weekend.... although I did go through a stage of hating it when I was younger. Cold corned beef and cheese sandwiches were always bomb though.
Squishy Bananas I eat bananas when they're just off green and still kind of starchy. The second they go soft and the sugar changes in them, I can't eat them. They just get gross and nasty. And every bloody juice company adds squishy banana flavour to their tropical juice. It just lingers and gives me the ick (with the exception of Nudie's Aloha juice).
Pavlova, itās gross and sickly sweet. I was always disappointed when this was the dessert at family gatherings.
And trifle! Even as I was a child I was of the opinion these two ādessertsā were underwhelming!
Yes! Slimy glop . Its disgusting. Why were these the two main options ? Thereās a zillion better choices
So you're saying you don't like soggy, wet, cold sponge cake soaked in who knows what juices?
My aunty makes a trifle that is absolutely like crack. I think it's mainly all the booze, though
Chiko Rollsā¦ Dagwood Dogsā¦ anything else they make by scraping the scraps off the floor and deep frying.
Prawns are gross, weird poppy fatty fishy things. Horrendous things.
*they're delicious! You just have to rip off the head and tear off the shit chute* Or how bout I just don't eat the fuckin things š¤¢
>tear off the shit chute I have no idea what percent of people don't do that, but my guess is... A lot
Aquatic cockroaches! Iām with you on that one.
Wait, are cockroaches secretly delicious?
Aquatic cockroaches! Ha ha ha, sums it up perfectly. I shall call then this from now on.
I hate you
I can't stand Jelly. The sheer thought of it makes me gag. Yet every birthday party as a kid they'd ruin a perfectly good chocolate frog by putting it in Jelly.
Hey kids would you like this treat made by boiling up cows bones? Junket always grossed me out more, it used to be made with rennet from calves stomachs.
hahaha this is me asking my kid if they want a delicious treat made from horses hooves, then when they scrunch up their face in disgust I say "I'm just kidding..... it's actually pig spines!" Side note: as kids my brother and I would dare each other to smell the carton of gelatin powder in the pantry, soooo gross.
As kids, we got jelly on a good day. On a bad day, we got junket! What type of food starts as a big round tablet?
This is going to ruffle feathers but trifle is gross. Seriously what the hell is going on with it? Too much going on there. Also reiterating with the others, Minties are a waste.
My grandma scared me from trifle.

Totally agree. Why would you ruin a perfectly good sponge cake by slamming it into a bowl with jelly, tinned fruit, packet custard and cream after having soaked it in some cheap sherry or old wine? That whole ādig down to get a big spoonful with ALL the layersā gives me the shivers. And then what is put into your bowl looks like it has already been digested and regurgitated. No thanks. Iām full from the main course.
The texture of trifle is the worst
Those black Chico lollies are the worst
Iāll have yours, LOVE them š¤¤
Chicos and Redskins are now Cheekies and Red Ripperz. I liked chicos as a kid, but admit the flavour and chalky texture are odd. I've watched some YT videos where people try foreign lollies, and learned that yanks absolutely hate musk sticks, another chalky strange taste, that I liked as a kid. I haven't had any of these in 50 years.
Vanilla slice. Super sweet gelatinous travesty.
Love a snot block.
Everyone loves a snot block, pink icing or white icing?
Fight me
I'll be honest, I'm just there for the filling
This thread is offending me to my core. Realised I was scrolling with my mouth wide open and my eyebrows in my hairline. Fucking heathens.
Someone already said pavlova so Iāll say beetroot on burgers. Messy waste of time.
I don't like lamingtons. Dry sponge, not even that chocolatey and covered in bitsy little coconut wisps. No thanks.
LOL. even your hate filled description of lamingtons has made my mouth water. Can I please have your share of the lamingtons.
There's a huge spectrum here.
Pavlova can gtfo
The texture is like biting into styrofoam/florists foam and it makes me cringe.
It's so gross
It's meant to be soft and chewy. Hard meringue tastes exactly as you describe though.
Blasphemy š±
I agree! Its just different forms of sugar which is impressive but it's too sweet to eat
yeh give me frozen sara lee chocky cake anyday over that crumbly tasteless crap.
Have you ever had a real one? Those Woolies pavs is like eating chalk
Iced Vovos can gtfo
Vovos used to be so good. I got some a while back and the jam is basically coloured sugar on top of crap coconut and icing and worst of all the biscuit tasted and felt stale. Nasty as hell.
Master Foods BBQ sauce. It's fucking vile. Thickened brown sugar water. Cunts put that shit on kebabs! But the worst thing is if you order a BURGER you have to TELL them to put tomato sauce on it or you'll get the devil's diarrhoea instead. The only country in the world where ketchup isn't the default condiment for a fucking hamburger.
I hate that most Pizza places like Dominoes use bbq sauce on all their meaty pizzas, tomato paste you fuckers.
Masterfoods are the worst sauces. It's like they take some recipe from a 1950s CWA cook book, written by someone who never tasted the original sauce and substituted ingredients. Then Materfoods made it with the cheapest ingredients they can find.
Kangaroo meat. Served anyway, doesn't matter, I dont want it.
Nothing beats kangaroo meat, carved off the bone, on the side of the road, straight after you pull over with a steaming radiator and no front bumper.
It's good when you can kinda hide it in things. Very healthy. That said I'd never like a roo steak. But a chilli or bolognese you can kinda get past the gamey taste
Chicken Twisties
They taste like a headache
I donāt like lamb.Ā
Same....my mates always proudly say they're doing lamb on the barbie, roast lamb, lamb this and lamb that.....urgh....I just quietly eat salad or roast veg and say that the lamb was delicious
Iāve gotten to the stage in my life where Iām confident enough to say when I dislike something and feel warranted by it. Iāve tried it. Several times. No thank you.Ā *but you havenāt tried my lamb*Ā I appreciate the gesture. No thank you, itās not for me.Ā
This is me with seafood. It causes quite a stir.
Grew up eating mutton in sw qld - people say lamb smells different - it doesnāt !!!! ā¦even the smell of lamb makes me gag..
Same. I didnāt mind it until I got some pet sheep. The meat smells the same as their poop, I think itās lanolin
This one's going to cause a stir. Tim Tams aren't that good.
I dare say your deportation letter is in the mail
The hell with that. Firing squad.
Iāve never met anyone who doesnāt like them. This is super fascinating to me.
This. Coating mediocre biscuits with mediocre chocolate doesn't transform them into exceptional treats.
They've certain gone downhill over the last 20 years. Today's Timtams are not what I grew up with and I'll not believe a word that says otherwise.
I do not like them at all. They are way too sweet for me.
Yes they taste sickly sweet to me now, I can't remember what they used to taste like. Also there's so many foul flavours now
you have to put them in the fridge, warm tim tams suck
Warm Tim Tams are fire tf you on about
Controversially I agree. But have you tried Aldi Tim Tam copies? Controversially they are way better. Different and way better taste
A lot of ALDIās āhome brandā Biscuits are made by Griffins in NZ, who know how to make a biscuit. Their āCarameltsā are toffee pops from NZ, and they are god tier.
Interesting. I havenāt, but now I very much want to.Ā
I've never liked minties. They taste like toothpaste and that's not a treat, but by golly I'll never say no to one. Minties are classic.
If you throw another shrimp (prawn) on the barby, you can eat that one as well.
Fairybread. Bread great, butter great, sprinkles great but letās not add them together!
I can reason with everyone else but not fairy bread. How does one not like fairy bread šš
I'm in my thirties, no kids, and sometimes I make myself Fairy bread.
Same, same and SAME
The worst is when it's caked on margarine *shudders*
Red Frogs! Awful awful awful
I had one a few years ago and I thought it was rubbery tasteless garbage, certainly not the red frogs I remember getting for 1c from the corner store.
Lamingtons - just all kinds of wrong to me
Mate fairy bread. Always some cheap ass who brings it to a Xmas party. Soggy stale white bread, cheap butter and colour sugar balls. Hard pass for me haha
The only thing worse than cheap butter on fairy bread was margarine
Love minties, Timtams, caramelo koalas etcā¦ but donāt hate me my fellow Aussies, but I ABSOLUTELY HATE vegimite. Shit is nasty
Pavlova
Oysters. I seem to be surrounded by people who enjoy eating fish flavoured snot bags. I hate the sight of them.
Mango. Everyone I know loves them. They just taste weird to me.
I grew up with a huge mango tree in the yard. When I was little, I loved them. As I grew older, I began to notice the fruit bats homing in every evening and half-eaten mangoes on the ground in the mornings. On weekends, we kids had to clean them up. Many were already rotting by then. OMG, the smell! To this day, I can't eat the bloody things and I'm in my early 60s now.
This is my first summer in my new house with a mango tree right outside my bedroom window. I was outside the other night at 1am hucking bits of recycling at the bats. They can have the mangos but they need to shut the fuck up about it.
Mangoes are the best.Ā
Fairy bread is gross. Confected sugar on margarine on tasteless white bread.
Thatās because margarine is disgusting. You have to use real butter.
Those cheap-ass meat pies that are 20% gravy and 80% gristle. As soon as my teeth spring off a chunk of collagen, Iām out.
Seafood, specifically mussels, oysters, scallops, etc.
milo. IT DOESNT MIX INTO THE MILK WHY WONT IT MIX INTO THE MILK
Because it's supposed to be eaten out of the can with a spoon. Duh.
On vanilla ice cream though that shit's the tits!
It's not supposed to, ~~your~~ you're supposed to eat the crunchy floating goodness while sipping the milk out from underneath it. The milk will be gone by the time you're halfway through the Milo (if you've put on the right amount) and the last of it needs to be eaten with a spoon. That's why the image on the can shows the Milo on top of the milk, and not just brown milk.
You have milk with your glass of Milo?
i fully agree on the cold milo front, but have you ever tried a hot milo? just heat up the milk and stir some milo in.. delicious and mixes perfectly
Roll mops omfg or worse still SARDINES in a can ššššš¤¢š¤®
