Sometimes the things I find at the grocery store amuse me. Only in Australia would you find potato chips that are "pie & sauce" flavored! No, I didn't buy them, so I can't tell you if they actually taste like a meat pie with ketchup. These are a limited edition flavor, but there are always chicken flavored chips on the shelves. No, I've never tried those either. Somehow, meat-flavored chips do not appeal to me!
Dogs get some interestingly flavored food as well. Here's one choice I saw the other day. Mince is what Australians call ground up meat. Ground beef is called beef mince. There is also lamb mince, pork mince, etc. I'm not sure which kind is in this food. And marrowbone...mmmm!
Lamb is also a common ingredient. There are all sorts of lamb soups and cuts of meat and such. And pumpkin items, but none of them are sweet. You can even get cream of pumpkin soup! Anyway, it's interesting to come across these distinctly Australian items while doing the grocery shopping, so I thought you all might enjoy them too.
Molly said she will stick with her venison and sweet potatoes.
ReplyDeleteSweet chili seems to be the 'new' flavor on chips around here.
I don't blame her. Sweet chili and sour cream chips are the norm here...must be based on the potato wedges they serve with those accompaniments.
DeleteI love that Justin and Cindy got you a Molly poster! How thoughtful!!
ReplyDeleteThe pumpkin soup I had in Austria was so good. I still dream about it every fall, it was my friend and I's favorite, but now that I've built it up in my memories so much, I don't believe it will ever be that good.
I thought about your request for BBQ Sauce - is Sweet Baby Ray's your favorite? It's on sale at the store, and I love sending food care packages, as they are the BEST to receive.
If you get the urge to send a package, I'm definitely not going to complain! :) Hope Paul had a great 1st birthday. We should Skype soon so we can see him (and you guys).
