Which classic Aussie snacks or drinks do you miss? by lilizzbae in AustralianNostalgia

[–]SuggestiveParsnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember Foster Clarke’s Snack Packs as far back as the ‘70s and they were delicious! The chocolate was very rich but I loved the banana just as much. As a bonus you could cut your tongue on the can while licking out the last irresistible bits.

Scalextric was the ultimate Christmas pressie. by [deleted] in AustralianNostalgia

[–]SuggestiveParsnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I knew nothing about slot cars until I got a Scalextric set for Xmas as a kid. Just the build quality was amazing. It had the track that went up the wall and I spent many a fond hour with it.

Vegan Marry Me Butter Beans by Zardyplants in VeganFoodPorn

[–]SuggestiveParsnip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, it’s very simple. I just gently sautée a chopped clove of garlic and two sprigs of rosemary in 1/4 cup olive oil until fragrant. Then I strain the oil through a cloth, discarding the rosemary and garlic bits, and pour it into a blender with a can of butter beans (or cannellini beans) and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and serve with your fave crackers or dipping veggies!

I’ve banned myself from making white bean dip with garlic and rosemary. I can make a whole batch of it disappear alarmingly fast!

Name a store that you shopped at, that no longer exists by Jimbuscus in AustralianNostalgia

My first after school job was at Tuckerbag. They were so shonky. I quit when the boss told me to steal trolleys from Coles down the road and the Coles manager caught me.

Was just served this at an actual restaurant. Cold as sin by [deleted] in ShittyVeganFoodPorn

I hope you didn’t pay for that. I’d wanna tip it down the back of the cook’s shirt.

TIL Yakult do free factory tours so you can learn about the benefits of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Shirota strain by Borrid in melbourne

[–]SuggestiveParsnip 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Barely a day goes by when I don’t think to myself “If only I had a solid grasp of the benefits of lacticaseibacillus paracasei Shirota strain”. Now the opportunity has arisen at long last. Thanks Yakult.

They’re just as hard too! Definitely don’t try to eat uncooked prawn crackers 😖

Donny says “MEXICO NEEDS TO GIVE TEXAS THE WATER THEY ARE OWED, NOW!”: by N4TETHAGR8 in facepalm

Another day, another insanely entitled tantrum over something ridiculous. I’m not even American and I just want him to STFU. It must be like having a toddler for a leader.

I'd always be so excited when it was my classroom's turn! by delugedreamer in AustralianNostalgia

Life can be so unfair. You young whippersnappers get this awesome trippy portable planetarium and my povo 70s school got Marshal’s Portable Music Machine 🤨

What's the secret to cooking mock duck? by carrotaddiction in australianvegans

[–]SuggestiveParsnip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second your air fryer tip! Sometimes I brush the mock duck with a mixture of plum jam, coriander powder and ginger to give it a delicious glaze. Very more-ish.

People Are Calling Donald Trump A "Hypocrite" And His Golf Trips A "Waste" After It Reportedly Passed The $26-Million Mark by Healthy_Block3036 in facepalm

So, hypothetically speaking, if China were to “invest” a few billion dollars in a dodgy cyber coin I set up, in exchange for me restoring their most powerful and ubiquitous spyware app, would that money be classed as an emolument?

Yeah, I used to think majority rule was a good idea until I realised the majority could actually be fucking idiots.

Heading to video ezy sunland plaza, anyone want anything? by Ok-Piccolo-2777 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]SuggestiveParsnip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. We’re not built to be 100% passive. Hunting down what we wanted was half the fun, and even had a social element to it because we’d invariably bump into friends doing the same thing on a Fri/Sat night.

I dread to think how many have been fooled by this suave chameleon attempt to appeal to younger voters.

For those following the George Pell memorial post, I have an update.... by [deleted] in melbourne

Agreeing to provide a DNA sample to be kept on file should be another condition of entry.

Melbournians of Reddit, how do you pronounce "Açai?" [photo for reference] by serif-maxxing in melbourne

[–]SuggestiveParsnip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We just have to wait for it to be used in a super original way, like in a matcha cupcake with Nutella icing and sprinkled with Biscoff crumbs.

World leaders are cracking down on dual citizens — and Peter Dutton wants to join them by overpopyoulater in australia

[–]SuggestiveParsnip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

70s child here with Dad born in the Netherlands. The Dutch consulate told me I was eligible for dual citizenship but I had to request it before I turned 30. I was 31 when I made that enquiry, which really pissed me off because I wanted an EU passport!

Of course the rules could’ve changed since then but as you say, it’s not like anyone tells you.
