We've made a fairy bread redemption video! We definitely messed it up the first time but with your feedback we think we got it right. 🤗 Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/OvatFaLx5Hk/видео.html
Fairy bread is a staple at children's parties, especially for the ages from 3 up to about 9. Slices of bread are usually cut into 4 triangle shapes, so there is no big corner crust for young teeth. Don't worry about leftovers, the parents picking up their little darlings will scoff (eat) any leftovers, usually with a comment like;- "Oh, fairy bread, l haven't had that in years." Which actually means not since the last party l took my child to. It's nice to see visitors trying our foods, and enjoying them. You'll have to come back sometime.
My mum used to stick fairy bread in my school lunches sometimes :) Untoasted is the way to go though. I’ve never eaten it toasted. BBQ shapes are the best. The left over tomato powder at the bottom of the bag is the greatest.
@Duane Dibbley and I don’t think they left the Anzac biscuits open on the bench for a few days either, so they won’t get the proper experience there either🙁. We all know that is the only way to eat store bought right?
do yourself a favour and don't eat those shit mass produced lamingtons. if you buy them you get them from a bakery they come with cream inside usually. and they taste 1000 times better. you could easy get the recipe and make your own fresh ones. lamingtons are also common fund raisers for schools and sports they call it a lamington drive similar to a sausage sizzle being the name for a fund raiser using a snag on bread. alao got a chuckle about the solo "its very carbonated" solos ad slogan is light on the fizz so you can slam it down fast.
Ha! We have to take full credit for that, we just weren't sure how to do it. Seeing the comments we've received, it's obvious we did not get it right. 😂 We'll have to try again!
@@twotravelingkings Fairy bread is one thing that the PC (Politically Correct) crowd can't change because it's not a brand. There used to be Fairy Penguins. Now they're called Little Penguin (Australian penguin).
God bless your yankee souls for not just doing Vegemite the right way, but enjoying it also. If you apply for residency adding this to your application will go a long way.
Glad you now enjoy some veggie on toast... but your toast needs to be toasted more and spread with lots of real butter not margarine and to really enjoy have with a cup tea.
Nice video guys & you're the 1st Americans doing this type of video that did the vegemite the right way. Some people prefer it spread on thick but i'm an Aussie that enjoys it the way you did it lol.
Thanks for watching! We became big fans of Vegemite, after Jenny's co-worker taught us how to eat it properly 😊 we brought plenty Vegemite back with us to the US. Our families however aren't big fans like us.. haha
@@twotravelingkings It divides families in Australia too. In my immediate family of four I am the only one that likes it. Also I eat it the same way you do, a thin spread is the way to go.
Hi Vegemite is a back up food that does not go off when siting in the cupboard for prolonged time, i often grab SAO's biscuits , snap them in half and smear into vegemite, but plain bread or toast bread its fine, just dont smear to much For me the tim tam slam is bite one end then use it as a straw on your hot coffee - better than a moccachino !! :)
Try the Anzac biscuits in the bakery section from either Woolies or Coles they are more like a proper Anzac biscuits more of a soft crunch 👍🏼 they are delicious 🤤
@@twotravelingkings the best Anzac biscuits are the home baked ones from scratch. I have my grandmothers recipe and they are delicious. So much tastier than the ones you buy at a supermarket
If you like Woolworths lamingtons, then you will love going to a real bakery and getting lamingtons freshly made on the premises. Same with meat pies, there is a world of difference between pies bought from the supermarket and pies made by a real baker. There is a lot of coconut in Australian food because 54% of the country is in the tropics, and the country is a large producer of tropical fruits like bananas, mangoes, coconuts, etc. if you go to North Queensland you will see coconut palms all along the coast.
You are so right! We tried lamingtons and meat pies from a local bakery and they were so delicious! We made sure to get both during our last week in Australia. We definitely plan on seeing more of Queensland when we come back 😊 we'll look for the trees!
Lamingtons were originally home-made, using segments of day old cake that is beginning to go a bit dry. Rolling it in chocolate sauce makes the cake moist again, and the coconut enhances the flavour and makes it less messy to handle.
@@tacitdionysus3220 So nostagic. I am 83 and my Mother made a batch of lamingtons once week. With four young children in the house a sponge cake never sat around long enough to become "A day old" to form the basis of a traditional lamington. As we lived in Sydney a day old sponge was always dried out, so my Mother used to make an additional sponge, which she cooked in a rectangular tray, instead of the traditional 8 inch round cake tin. Then she would leave it for a day before she let me cut it up into cubes. But the real treat was that because she always made the lamingtons on Sunday, she would make an extra bowl of choclate iceing and stir the remaining desiccated coconut into the very stiff icing mix, then roll the mix into balls, which she would pack into the brown paper bag that contained our sandwiches packed into brown paper bags. But the big treat was when I was given enough money to go to the Bakery, in the shopping strip near the school to buy a pie with sauce and a freshly baked Boston Bun. 75 years later that's still my favourite lunch snack, because there is still an old fashioned Lunch Shop, in Clarendon Street South Melbourne, that still make their own pies, pasties and sausages rolls, along with a range of traditional "Biscuits" while the nearby Old Paper Shop Deli makes what are the best lamingtons that I have ever bought. Phil.
Just a tip with the tim tams, get the double thick chocolate tim tam in the blue packet and refrigerate it first. The outside doesn't dissolve as quick so you can really suck the guts out of it.
Ah yes, an Aussie friend pointed that out to us. Unfortunately, it's all the IGA had during the crazy pandemic buying. We'll have to try it again with the real stuff!
These guys are pretty likable. Tips: The best Anzac biscuits are homemade, they're super easy to make. Try the Wagon Wheel instead of the Arnott (pronounced AR-Not) Iced Vovo. I think Iced Vovos are a favorite of little old ladies. Fairy Bread - children love it at birthday parties due to how pretty it is, not so much the nutritional value or taste. You need very soft white bread and you need to press the hundreds and thousands into the bread a bit for it to stick to the butter. I'm glad to see you like Vegemite and eat it properly (sparingly). Try it on crisp buttered toast cut into strips (soldiers) dipped into a soft boiled egg. The best way to enjoy Vegemite! Good effort guys!
Thanks for watching and for the tips on expanding our Aussie pallets! 😊 We might have to try to make Anzac biscuits (don't think they have them in the US). We love Vegemite toast with egg but haven't tried it that way. Will have to give it a go!
For anyone interested in trying the ginger beer, you have to invert the bottle (not shake, just slowly turn it upside down and back again) a few times to get the ginger to mix into the drink, then cheers!
Just came upon this video by chance. Nice to see someone try our Aussie food with an open mind. Thankyou. Fun video. Hope you had a great time over here.
Love this video guys. Logan, fairy bread isn't supposed to be toasted...lol You're definitely Aussie when you like Vegemite toast. Go and get yourself a vanilla slice. A real one with custard middle and the nice slimy white topping. Best found in good bakeries.
I found that out the hard way when I was travelling through the States with my mother in the early 1980s. We stopped at a diner in Charleston and ordered lunch and a pitcher of lemonade, and were surprised at what the Americans call lemonade - very different from what we Aussies call lemonade (which Americans refer to as 7 Up)
I really enjoyed watching your video. You seem such a nice couple. Good on you for doing your research before trying these snacks. That saved you making fools of yourselves like some Americans do in this type of video. ;)
Thanks so much for the kind words Graham, we're so glad to know you enjoyed the video! 😊 We definitely tried our best to research though we now know we did fairy bread all wrong 😂
Hey Jenny and Logan, there’s a major rule with ginger beer. You’re supposed to invert the bottle before you take the lid off. This is because a lot of the ginger settles at the bottom. It improves the overall taste also :) ......check the label :)
Two Traveling Kings - You’re welcome. Loved your video. So awesome to see people’s opinion of Australia. (I’m Australian) so yeh loved ur video guys!!!
I agree - these two probably just about earned themselves citizenship with this effort, after all, they've proven that they can pass the "Australian Values" test :D
@@TheSummerWarrior12 I know right? I'm 36 and I have never heard of toasted fairy bread. It's supposed to be something served at a kids party, so it has to be untoasted or it would go cold
Two Traveling Kings You can get vegemite from amazon if you run out of your supply. But much more expensive because it’s imported. Will be great if you bring some of aussie anacks back home and let your friends have a taste in a future video when it’s safe to do so.
Funnily enough I ordered a ginger beer at a Doubletree by Hilton in Philadelphia and they bought me a bottle of Bundaberg ginger beer. So you do have it in the US.
Didn’t realise iced vovo’s were still a thing. Even when I was a kid they seemed like the kind of old fashion thing your grandmother would serve with tea.
I used to like them as a little girl, but that was probably because they were pink. I remember using my teeth to scrape off the icing and jam first before finishing the rest of the biscuit.
Great video guys, and nice to see you back! Glad you're surviving the lockdown. There's other sweet treats such as Minties, Fantales, Fry's Turkish Delight ... and the iconic Vanilla Slice, the best ones come from bakeries. 👍👍👍👍 I'm not a fan of Iced Vovos either ... many years ago, the fondant was more of a marshmallow base and it was way nicer.
I came on here to mention the Iced Vovos too. They were very much a marshmallow , jam coconut biscuit back in the day. Much nicer.Vanilla slice purchase them from small bakeries ONLY. Great video guys. Stay safe at home.
They should check that their health insurance includes dental before trying Minties or Fantales. Oh, and they should try Jaffas, too. The Fry's Turkish Delight really doesn't do it for me. I like real Turkish delight, not that other stuff that's a strange shade of pink and way too similar to gristle in texture. I've never really been an Iced VoVo fan, so I didn't realise they'd changed the recipe.
+@@kayelle8005 Me too, way, way back they were more of a cross between a coconut ice and marshmallow with real rasberry jam spread thickly on a softer biscuit base. Hence the name.
Try eating Milo dry out of the container with a spoon, and see what happens... LOL.. (It sucks all the moisture out of your mouth, but it's fun and very tasty!)
@@lancetuckey6403 I remember I made this for me kids. They called it Milo icecream. I do put them in the fridge to cool down, it's their treat after school. Incentive to make their home works.
@@twotravelingkings Next time you have a Bundy ginger beer read the label. You are supposed to invert the bottle first to get the "dregs" off the bottom. PS. The lite is as good as the heavy.
Pro tip : those pieces of ginger in the bottom of the ginger beer - you're supposed to tip the bottle upside down for a bit before opening (don't shake) so they are throughout the whole drink instead of just at the bottom.
Glad you chose the right brand of Ginger Beer. I grew up in the city of Bundaberg. It's also famous for Bundaberg Rum. You should try a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the ginger beer. It's the best!
Wow how interesting! We'd definitely try the vanilla ice cream in the ginger beer even though it sounds like it could be quite a different flavor. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching 😊
@@twotravelingkings This makes me think of something called spiders not the arachnids but a soft drink/soda with vanilla ice-cream in it, although I have never had one with ginger beer I might also try that.
+@@plypayj3 They are the best spiders, though I suggest Stones, Saxby's or Kirks for spiders. Bundaberg is much sweeter as are most things produced in Queensland.
I know you two like Vegemite. I'm an Aussie who doesn't like it general. But my family has a way of eating that tastes amazing. 2 Nephews of mine came to visit, they hadn't wanted to eat it for years. Their Dad was a Vegemite fanatic, who liked to slather it on. I made myself some Vegemite and Cottage Cheese. I gave them some to try and they were hooked, they went through Cottage Cheese like it was going out style. Simply Toast your bread, then spread on Vegemite and Top with a Thick layer of Cottage Cheese. In Australia we have a variety called Creamed Cottage Cheese, it best for Vegemite and Cottage Cheese. People complain that Cottage Cheese is too Bland and Vegemite is too Strong. But together it balances out. It's the only way I eat Vegemite, as far as I'm concerned It's Heaven.
OMG THIS! I only just discovered this combination about a year ago (34yo Queenslander).. I feel like I’ve robbed myself so many years of this amazing combo 😩
What you need to do is get a big cup, put in 5 tablespoons of Milo, press it down hard put the milk in and then scoop it off the bottom bit by bit. I’ve been eating and since I was six years old and I love it. Thanks for your videos I’m glad you enjoyed most things Australian.
You 2 are virtually true blue dinkum Aussies and Ive only watched 3 vids so far. As I said before take out citizenship and with all your annual leave you can go home for the fall and occasional NFL match. Just kidding..........or am I. Loved all your vids. Stay safe.
You might be on to something there . . . 😏 It was so hard to leave Australia has a lot going for it. We can't wait to make a trip back soon when it's safe. Thanks for watching! 😊
2 things first with Bundaberg you give the bottles a bit of a lite shake or rotate end over end because they have more solids in their drinks and you should try Bundaberg Lemonade its so good also do the end over end to mix a little
With milo you can use hot water and milk to make it hot, because usually grandmothers use warm milk, but I love you guys so much, and u are doing everything right! 😆
So happy to see American's apply the correct amount of Vegemite! I've been eating it my whole life & you applied more than even I do! I like several dabs over the slice of toast but I know people who like it quite thick😕 Mostly we just see videos of American's eating a spoonful of it & gagging...duh?! I'd gag too!
Fairy bread is for kids , barbecue shapes are the best with a nice dip , creaming soda I’d recommend, twisties are the go to cheese crunch and tamtams are the tops when you’ve got the munchies . Anzac bikkies are be eaten freshly made straight from the oven .
Back in the 70s, early 80s - would go to the local bakery and get an unsliced, hot from the oven loaf of bread, come home, slice it thick, layer on butter (the real stuff back then) and then put on the vegemite. Was the only way to eat it!!! Now just have to make do with toast. But those smells and tastes combined are what childhood memories were made of.
Guys - you are amazing for trying these with an open mind. Aussie Pro Tip. Arnotts Shapes. You should have had the BBQ Shapes and Pizza Shapes. They're the aussiest ones. With the Arnotts biscuits, you should have also tried Mint Slice (yumm), Kingstons and the Royals. I'm absolutely stoked (aussie for impressed) that you did the Tim Tam Slam - and you did it the right way (opposite corners) - you get your Aussie Patch now. Ps. Have you tried chicken salt on some chips (fries or French fries)? And you nailed the Vegemite coverage! Pro Tip - add some smashed avo on top.
Onya guys! Vegemite is so yum. Nice to see you help others to appreciate it and how to spread it correctly. lol. I have even used it for a soup base, hmmm might go well with the shape's. Timtam slams are the best! And you even have some things unique to each state. We are Adelaide, South Australia. And when friends moved to Western Australia they couldnt get fruchocs. And Venetian biscuits. Something to try on your aussie list another time. Hope you both ok and have gotten home safe and sound.
You like vegemite...You are officially Aussie. Arnott's Shapes? Gotta be BBQ Wow! When talking about the Iced Vo-Vo you said "jam" (instead of "jelly")...definitely honourary Aussies!
You have to have the butter or margarine already on your knife ready and waiting, so when the toast pops your ready with the butter then as soon as you put the butter on then put on the Vegemite as quick as you can. So then your basically swimming in butter and the toast is still piping hot! Beautiful,....got to be ready for that piping hot piece of toast with melting butter seconds after it pops. But if your still not that clever cold toast with Vegemite is still ok, lol! But it's best when everything is on that piece of toast only seconds after it pops,..with melting butter,...lol! And also better with fresh bread or a loaf from a proper bakery. Yum!
You should try a very thin slice of colby cheese on top of the vegemite toast which will ever so slightly melt. Also try normal bread thinly buttered add Vegemite and salt and vinegar chips/crisps and put another price of bread with vege and butter in top and cut in half, absolute favourite as a kid.
And if you look at the shapes box, the background is the shape of the shape you will find inside. My favourite flavours are the original barbeque, vegemite and original savoury. Hopefully some day you get to try a real sausage sizzle Edit: You can cook homemade anzac biscuits (my favourite treat) at home. My favourite is the chewy kind, so if you look up a recipe for chewy anzac biscuits you can have that as well. ANZAC bisucits were made to send to Australian loved-ones soldiers during World War (idk if it’s 1/2) because it wouldn’t go off when you sent it.
The proper way to eat Cheezels is to put one on each finger wiggle your fingers around for a second and then chomp them off each finger without going through to the finger itself xD
If you want to pronounce Arnotts like an Aussie replace the 'o' with an 'e' and cram it all into one syllable. You can spread Vegemite thicker if you increase the amount of butter also. Its really good with cheese on toast and you can put a bit on steak as your cooking it for an extra kick! Milo is great with hot or cold milk (never make it with water!) and the secret to making it properly is to completely ignore the instructions - at least four tablespoons are needed (if you have a mass of half dissolved Milo floating on top its perfect!)
I was at a freinds house for their kids party and they had a close friend of the family and his wife from the US there while they were over here on holidays. We most definitely had Fairy Bread for the kids, near all families will do it, and they looked at me strange when i took two pieces and chowed down on them while at the table talking and even called me out for eating the kids food. I just looked at them stunned while everyone laughed not at me but at them. One of the other parents held up a piece they had on their plate and shoveled it in her mouth. Mate informed them that Fairy Bread is every parents earliest childhood memory and we are not ashamed to admit we will still grab some every time we see it even as adults. Told them not to knock it unless they try it. The looks on their face as they tried some. Damn hook, line and sinker they even went back for more themselves. Quietly they apoligised to me and swore they had never even dreamed of eating such a thing and would make sure they would make it themselves for their kids when they went back home.
You should have tried the Bundaberg rum, mixed with the Bundaberg Ginger Ale. We call it a Dark & Stormy here. You can also purchase it pre-mixed at local liquor stores.
I'm Sure You'll Understand Why A Tim Tam Ad Campaign Has Become An Aussie Legend. It All Started With An Ad Where A Genie Granted A Lady's Wish For "A Never-ending Packet Of Tim Tams!" It Became A Series Of Ads Featuring "A Never-ending Packet Of Tim Tams!" Every Now And Then You'll He People Mention "A Never-ending Packet Of Tim Tams!", As Something They Want.
@@twotravelingkings i hope you get to continue your travels soon once this pandemic ends , and as for flat white coffee it is just coffee and milk that has been heated and frothed , easy peasy
Love it! Yes us too, we miss traveling. Good news is a coffee shop where we just moved serves Flat Whites. and they do it right 😊 might have to make a video about it
FINALLY - Americans who get Vegemite right!! By the way the best ANZAC biscuits are made by your grandmother, not to be found on a supermarket shelf! They are actually supposed to be a little bit chewy.
You didn't do the Milo right! You're meant to eat heaped teaspoons of it out of the tin, and it sticks to the roof of your mouth, and you inadvertently breathe in and nearly choke to death! hahaha! I love these videos though, guys. It's awesome to see ppl from other countries trying our foods! xxoo
Vegemite does take a bit of getting accustomed to. Most Aussie kids have it before they can even remember having it. Me I'm that tuff I can eat it straight out of the jar. Thanks for showing a bit of Australia to the world.
Me too. I sometimes dip teaspoon in, and put a lump in my mouth. Many years ago, it slipped down my throat, and I am choking on it. Luckily, I got it out. Can you imagine the epitaph, Choked to death on Vegimite. lol
If you are interested in all sorts of iconic Australian food and beverages, Bundaberg (a small coastal city in Queensland) is probably more famous within Australia for its Bundaberg Rum that for its Ginger beer. It has historically been a very large sugar cane producer which had a hand in both of these iconic drinks.
Some of us Aussies don't like to admit it, but that brand, 'Arnott's', who produces a couple of the products you tried, is owned by an American company - Campbell's. They were once Aussie owned but the big money Campbell's corporation came in and bought them. There's a better way to enjoy your Tim Tams - straight out of the freezer. Crisp as crisp and delightful. Not many Aussies know of this one.
You are killing me with the Iced Vovo’s. Every time we went to our grandparents place we had Iced Vovo’s and omg you have/had to try Clinkers. Vovo’s are my childhood massive memories. So sad you didn’t like them. 😢😢 Love that you got used to Vegemite. You spread it perfectly. Spot on! And the Shapes….. Pizza Shapes all the way! They’re the bomb, so much better then the chicken crimpy! Great video!
Great work guys. Fairy bread is a kiddo fav at a birthday party. Must have a generous smattering of butter and 100’s of 1000’s. TimTams are always best slammed.
Ha, you taught me something. I’ve been eating Arnotts Shapes for 40 years. Never occurred to me they named them Shapes because each flavour is a different shape!
The best place to get a lamington is from a bakery as they are so much fresher then store bought ones. Great videos guys I've just powered through them all. P.S I hope you took some Vegemite home with you.
Definitely agree! We had a few delicious lamingtons from local bakeries around Sydney. We brought lots of Vegemite home and are still enjoying it. Actually saw Vegemite in our local grocery store (a small jar) for $7.99 USD! So happy you're enjoying our videos, means a lot to hear that 😊
OK you ate the Cheezels right and you got the tim tam spot on and bonus points for your Vegimite knowledge, and you even made the Milo right and put in on ice cream. But can't forgive that fairy bread! Also you didn't invert the bottle for the ginger beer, try it again but this time hold the bottle upside down for a little while before opening. TRUST ME it makes a world of difference !
The best Shapes are BBQ Shapes, especially all the seasoning that gathers in the corners of the bag. As for Iced Vovos, they've never been the same since Arnott's were bought out by Campbell's (the US soup company)
So glad to see a video where they go in with an open mind. So many videos they go in expecting it to be weird and then misunderstand what they're eating. Good job :)
You gotta have a nice dip to go with shapes. Personal favourite is hummus or tzatziki! With Anzacs, they go great with milk. Another thing, good effort on the slams! Try it with baileys or another creamy drink. Super good 💪💪
I really like you guys and your travels. Thank you for sharing. I've known Australians, my friend's sister, to often scoop a whole teaspoonful of Vegimite out and suck on it like a lolliepop. Fairly bread has to be really fresh white bread with a healthy dose of soft butter (or Margerine) and Hundreds and Thousands. They are little dots, not the freckles that you guys used.
I couldn't eat Vegemite with a spoon! And unfortunately the IGA didn't have the right sprinkles.. we'll have to do another video doing fairy bread right haha 😊

But the real treat was that because she always made the lamingtons on Sunday, she would make an extra bowl of choclate iceing and stir the remaining desiccated coconut into the very stiff icing mix, then roll the mix into balls, which she would pack into the brown paper bag that contained our sandwiches packed into brown paper bags. But the big treat was when I was given enough money to go to the Bakery, in the shopping strip near the school to buy a pie with sauce and a freshly baked Boston Bun. 75 years later that's still my favourite lunch snack, because there is still an old fashioned Lunch Shop, in Clarendon Street South Melbourne, that still make their own pies, pasties and sausages rolls, along with a range of traditional "Biscuits" while the nearby Old Paper Shop Deli makes what are the best lamingtons that I have ever bought. Phil.
Just a tip with the tim tams, get the double thick chocolate tim tam in the blue packet and refrigerate it first. The outside doesn't dissolve as quick so you can really suck the guts out of it.
Solid 👍
You got the wrong sprinkles for fairy bread.you want the round mini ones.
Ah yes, an Aussie friend pointed that out to us. Unfortunately, it's all the IGA had during the crazy pandemic buying. We'll have to try it again with the real stuff!
@@JakeJMitchell sacrilege.
its an either or
You Aussies take your fairy bread serious! Love it, missing Australia!
@@JakeJMitchell Heretical.
But yes absolutely it must be specifically hundreds and thousands, not sprinkles
These guys are pretty likable.
Tips:
The best Anzac biscuits are homemade, they're super easy to make.
Try the Wagon Wheel instead of the Arnott (pronounced AR-Not) Iced Vovo. I think Iced Vovos are a favorite of little old ladies.
Fairy Bread - children love it at birthday parties due to how pretty it is, not so much the nutritional value or taste. You need very soft white bread and you need to press the hundreds and thousands into the bread a bit for it to stick to the butter.
I'm glad to see you like Vegemite and eat it properly (sparingly). Try it on crisp buttered toast cut into strips (soldiers) dipped into a soft boiled egg. The best way to enjoy Vegemite!
Good effort guys!
Thanks for watching and for the tips on expanding our Aussie pallets! 😊 We might have to try to make Anzac biscuits (don't think they have them in the US). We love Vegemite toast with egg but haven't tried it that way. Will have to give it a go!
Hugo perfect Post! And yes the Wagon Wheel “Eat the Wagon Wheel”
Vegemite is also great with avo instead of butter and topped with a sprinkle of cracked pepper if you like :)
Not even old ladies like vovos, they only buy them because their grandchildren won't eat them.
Skalicon lol 😂😂😂 so true😂😂
Compared to regular soda, solo is light on the fizz so you can slam it down fast.
Loved Solo, they don't carbonate lemonade in the US like they do in Australia. So good!
I see what you did there 👏
don't you love it when it goes to the keeper....
Two Traveling Kings while I was living in the US I’d put American style lemonade in the Sodastream to fizz it up.
Lol
For anyone interested in trying the ginger beer, you have to invert the bottle (not shake, just slowly turn it upside down and back again) a few times to get the ginger to mix into the drink, then cheers!
We loved the ginger beer, spicy and sweet. Thanks for the tip 😊
Ginger Beer? Odd choice. Well done on the Solo though 👍🏻
Goes really well with a dash of Bundy rum
Best Shapes flavors: barbecue, & pizza!
A lot of people have said that. We'll have to try those. Thanks! 😊
Just came upon this video by chance. Nice to see someone try our Aussie food with an open mind. Thankyou. Fun video. Hope you had a great time over here.
Thanks for the kind words Julia 😊 we had a great time in Australia! Loved Sydney. Thanks for watching!
Barbeque and Pizza shapes are the Aussiest ones to try
Will have to try those next time! 😊
Can confirm. barbecue shapes are the most iconic.
Yep that sausage sizzle isn’t an original flavour...it doesn’t count haha
Yep that sausage sizzle isn’t an original flavour...it doesn’t count haha
Love this video guys.
Logan, fairy bread isn't supposed to be toasted...lol
You're definitely Aussie when you like Vegemite toast.
Go and get yourself a vanilla slice. A real one with custard middle and the nice slimy white topping. Best found in good bakeries.
Haha thanks Jackie! Glad you liked the video 😊 and oops on the fairy bread... Lol will keep an eye out for a vanilla slice!
Ahhh! Vanilla Slices also colloquially known as 'Snot Blocks'.
+Jackie Walker The traditional topping was passionfruit icing.
I’m so impressed that you guys actually eat the vegemite the way it’s supposed to be eaten with butter and bread not just on a spoon by itself 👍🏻👍🏻
We had a very kind Australian friend that taught is the right way 😊
Solo would actually be referred to as lemon squash, what us aussies call lemonade is basically Sprite or 7up
Huh! We had no idea. Thanks for sharing! 😊
I found that out the hard way when I was travelling through the States with my mother in the early 1980s. We stopped at a diner in Charleston and ordered lunch and a pitcher of lemonade, and were surprised at what the Americans call lemonade - very different from what we Aussies call lemonade (which Americans refer to as 7 Up)
Tod Davis O yes you’re absolutely right, spot on!
What of Schweppes Lemonade? Another brand is Kirks.
I really enjoyed watching your video. You seem such a nice couple. Good on you for doing your research before trying these snacks. That saved you making fools of yourselves like some Americans do in this type of video. ;)
Thanks so much for the kind words Graham, we're so glad to know you enjoyed the video! 😊 We definitely tried our best to research though we now know we did fairy bread all wrong 😂
FINALLY americans who know how to eat vegemite
We love our Vegemite! Thanks for watching 😊
Great video your Aussie passports are in the mail :)
Aw! Thanks for watching 😊
They sent ANZAC biscuits over to the army because they didn’t go bad
Loved the ANZAC biscuits! Even brought some home from Australia 😊 thanks for watching!
they were also popular because they did not require flour to make them.
that's the originals recipe anyway. Modern ones do use flour.
Interesting! We loved them as after dinner treats or as a sweet treat with a coffee. Thanks for sharing some of the history 😊
Though the biscuits at the time compared to what they are now is quite different, they were bland (sugar included now) and much tougher
The first video like this trying Aussie food I have seen without screwing anything up. Nice work!
Apparently we did fairy bread wrong... Haha many people took offence to that lol but thanks for your kind words! 😊
Fairy bread with toast? What madness is this?
Some men just want to watch the world burn.. it was an experiment! Haha we'll have to upload a redemption video. Thanks for watching!
Hey Jenny and Logan, there’s a major rule with ginger beer. You’re supposed to invert the bottle before you take the lid off. This is because a lot of the ginger settles at the bottom. It improves the overall taste also :) ......check the label :)
Ah right good tip! Thanks for watching 😊
Two Traveling Kings - You’re welcome. Loved your video. So awesome to see people’s opinion of Australia. (I’m Australian) so yeh loved ur video guys!!!
@@CMaiers thanks! Means a lot 😊
hahahah after reading all the comments seems your biggest fans are the ones who are impressed you spread your Vegemite right , keep up the good work
We have Jenny's Australian friends to thank! They taught us how to make and enjoy Vegemite toast and we're still eating it back here in the US! 😋
Hooray
Vegemite and tim tam slams done correctly
We tried! Thanks for watching! 😊
I agree - these two probably just about earned themselves citizenship with this effort, after all, they've proven that they can pass the "Australian Values" test :D
@@daveamies5031 I think so too. Honorary citizens lol. They both seem so lovely too. They should try BBQ shapes. My fav.
They TOASTED fairy bread!? Though wtf
@@TheSummerWarrior12 I know right? I'm 36 and I have never heard of toasted fairy bread. It's supposed to be something served at a kids party, so it has to be untoasted or it would go cold
You build up a tolerance to Vegemite over decades, until it ends up being 1/4" thick on toast with cheese or cream cheese.
That's believable! We've already started adding more 😊
I've been eating Vegemite since I was 2 or 3 so I can lay it on thicker these days.
I could eat it straight I love it so much
There's no such thing as to thick vegimite. The thicker the better
Put it on crumpets, butter Vegemite and cream cheese. Yumm
Iced Vovos used to taste wonderful, until Arnotts got brought out years ago and they changed their recipe. Terrible biscuits now.
We definitely were not fans, wish we could have tasted the originals! Thanks for watching 😊
I miss the classic ice vovo, the marsmallowish ones.
Same happened with milo recently
The fact that you put Vegemite first both of you makes you both can live here in Australia quite easily
We love Vegemite now! 😊
Very impressed that you actually like vegemite and you spread it perfectly. Well done.
Had to bring some Vegemite back with us to the US! Thanks for watching :)
Two Traveling Kings You can get vegemite from amazon if you run out of your supply. But much more expensive because it’s imported.
Will be great if you bring some of aussie anacks back home and let your friends have a taste in a future video when it’s safe to do so.
Thanks for the tip! Check out our welcome home video, we had some family try Vegemite. Some liked it, some didn't 😁 thanks for watching 😊
Funnily enough I ordered a ginger beer at a Doubletree by Hilton in Philadelphia and they bought me a bottle of Bundaberg ginger beer. So you do have it in the US.
Awesome!
Didn’t realise iced vovo’s were still a thing. Even when I was a kid they seemed like the kind of old fashion thing your grandmother would serve with tea.
Haha they weren't our favorites
I used to like them as a little girl, but that was probably because they were pink. I remember using my teeth to scrape off the icing and jam first before finishing the rest of the biscuit.
Iced vovos are the shit, i can eat half a pack in a sitting
@@nightrider7850 i might not eat half the pack but when ihave them I’ll have as many as possible
Love your videos. You both have great personalities for this kind of thing.
Thanks for the kind words! Had fun with this video 😊 even tho we felt a bit sick after eating all that sugar...
Great video guys, and nice to see you back! Glad you're surviving the lockdown. There's other sweet treats such as Minties, Fantales, Fry's Turkish Delight ... and the iconic Vanilla Slice, the best ones come from bakeries. 👍👍👍👍 I'm not a fan of Iced Vovos either ... many years ago, the fondant was more of a marshmallow base and it was way nicer.
Thanks for watching Dean! We'll have to see if we can get our hands on some of those to try! 😊
I came on here to mention the Iced Vovos too. They were very much a marshmallow , jam coconut biscuit back in the day. Much nicer.Vanilla slice purchase them from small bakeries ONLY. Great video guys. Stay safe at home.
I miss the old iced vovos
They should check that their health insurance includes dental before trying Minties or Fantales. Oh, and they should try Jaffas, too.
The Fry's Turkish Delight really doesn't do it for me. I like real Turkish delight, not that other stuff that's a strange shade of pink and way too similar to gristle in texture.
I've never really been an Iced VoVo fan, so I didn't realise they'd changed the recipe.
+@@kayelle8005 Me too, way, way back they were more of a cross between a coconut ice and marshmallow with real rasberry jam spread thickly on a softer biscuit base. Hence the name.
Try eating Milo dry out of the container with a spoon, and see what happens... LOL..
(It sucks all the moisture out of your mouth, but it's fun and very tasty!)
Lol may have done that before...
If you want to be really bad.....try about half Milo and half cream....mix to a thick paste..eat with a spoon....it doesn't get any better.....enjoy.
@@lancetuckey6403 I remember I made this for me kids. They called it Milo icecream. I do put them in the fridge to cool down, it's their treat after school. Incentive to make their home works.
Love the attempt at the Aussie accents lol after all these snacks you probably have a sore stomach,good video hope you enjoy your stay here.
Oh my we felt sick after this... haha
Bundaberg is real ginger beer and it's actually good for an upset stomach
We liked it!
@@twotravelingkings Next time you have a Bundy ginger beer read the label. You are supposed to invert the bottle first to get the "dregs" off the bottom. PS. The lite is as good as the heavy.
Pro tip : those pieces of ginger in the bottom of the ginger beer - you're supposed to tip the bottle upside down for a bit before opening (don't shake) so they are throughout the whole drink instead of just at the bottom.
Sounds good, will do that next time :)
Glad you chose the right brand of Ginger Beer. I grew up in the city of Bundaberg. It's also famous for Bundaberg Rum. You should try a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the ginger beer. It's the best!
Wow how interesting! We'd definitely try the vanilla ice cream in the ginger beer even though it sounds like it could be quite a different flavor. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching 😊
What's the Rum like? What's your mixer?
@@blinkybill2198 It's a dark rum. The most usual mixers are coca cola or ginger ale.
@@twotravelingkings This makes me think of something called spiders not the arachnids but a soft drink/soda with vanilla ice-cream in it, although I have never had one with ginger beer I might also try that.
+@@plypayj3 They are the best spiders, though I suggest Stones, Saxby's or Kirks for spiders. Bundaberg is much sweeter as are most things produced in Queensland.
Lol you 2 make me laugh, I enjoyed your take on some of our Aussie snacks.
Thanks for watching!
I know you two like Vegemite. I'm an Aussie who doesn't like it general. But my family has a way of eating that tastes amazing. 2 Nephews of mine came to visit, they hadn't wanted to eat it for years. Their Dad was a Vegemite fanatic, who liked to slather it on. I made myself some Vegemite and Cottage Cheese. I gave them some to try and they were hooked, they went through Cottage Cheese like it was going out style. Simply Toast your bread, then spread on Vegemite and Top with a Thick layer of Cottage Cheese. In Australia we have a variety called Creamed Cottage Cheese, it best for Vegemite and Cottage Cheese. People complain that Cottage Cheese is too Bland and Vegemite is too Strong. But together it balances out. It's the only way I eat Vegemite, as far as I'm concerned It's Heaven.
Interesting combo! 😊
Next one to try is the Pavlova
Pavlova was good! Someone made it at a new years party last year. Crunchy, light, sweet and delicious!
For the chicken crimpies, you have to try them with french onion dip, it is delicious.
Love onion dip! We usually have it with plain Lays potato chips but that sounds delicious. Thanks for the tip! 😊
OMG THIS! I only just discovered this combination about a year ago (34yo Queenslander).. I feel like I’ve robbed myself so many years of this amazing combo 😩
Milo on vanilla ice-cream! MY MAN!!!!
MAN OF CULTURE!
A true game changer 😊
What you need to do is get a big cup, put in 5 tablespoons of Milo, press it down hard put the milk in and then scoop it off the bottom bit by bit. I’ve been eating and since I was six years old and I love it. Thanks for your videos I’m glad you enjoyed most things Australian.
That's a new way to try it! Sounds good :)
You 2 are virtually true blue dinkum Aussies and Ive only watched 3 vids so far. As I said before take out citizenship and with all your annual leave you can go home for the fall and occasional NFL match. Just kidding..........or am I. Loved all your vids. Stay safe.
You might be on to something there . . . 😏 It was so hard to leave Australia has a lot going for it. We can't wait to make a trip back soon when it's safe. Thanks for watching! 😊
Left off the Violet Crumble kiddos, you'll have to import some back to the States
Tried the violet crumble golden gaytime and wow 😍
THANK YOU. This is the correct way to serve Vegemite. I am actually quite impressed and pleased.
Lol we had a good teacher 😊
2 things first with Bundaberg you give the bottles a bit of a lite shake or rotate end over end because they have more solids in their drinks and you should try Bundaberg Lemonade its so good also do the end over end to mix a little
Nice!
With milo you can use hot water and milk to make it hot, because usually grandmothers use warm milk, but I love you guys so much, and u are doing everything right! 😆
Great tip, and thanks 😊
Lamington fingers, 20 seconds in microwave, vanilla ice cream on top = welcome to dessert heaven 👍
That sounds so good 😊
So happy to see American's apply the correct amount of Vegemite! I've been eating it my whole life & you applied more than even I do! I like several dabs over the slice of toast but I know people who like it quite thick😕 Mostly we just see videos of American's eating a spoonful of it & gagging...duh?! I'd gag too!
Love our vegemite! 😊
Fairy bread is for kids , barbecue shapes are the best with a nice dip , creaming soda I’d recommend, twisties are the go to cheese crunch and tamtams are the tops when you’ve got the munchies . Anzac bikkies are be eaten freshly made straight from the oven .
Seems like you know what you're talking about! Will have to give BBQ shapes a go with some dip, sounds delicious 😊
When i was little i used to eat just the marshmallow part of iced VoVo's and then threw out the biscuit lol
😳 too much sugar! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Hi Jen, best part of VoVo, of course Mom never saw that. Year right!
whoops, thats yeah not year. Wow, this is a nice Cab Sav.
@@stephenmcdonald7713 Cab sauv!. My favourite!!!
Freak! 😁 🤣
you did Vegemite right I have respect for that
We learned how to prepare Vegemite the right way thanks to our Aussie co-workers 😊 thanks for watching!
Back in the 70s, early 80s - would go to the local bakery and get an unsliced, hot from the oven loaf of bread, come home, slice it thick, layer on butter (the real stuff back then) and then put on the vegemite. Was the only way to eat it!!! Now just have to make do with toast. But those smells and tastes combined are what childhood memories were made of.
Sounds like heaven 😊
Guys - you are amazing for trying these with an open mind.
Aussie Pro Tip.
Arnotts Shapes. You should have had the BBQ Shapes and Pizza Shapes.
They're the aussiest ones.
With the Arnotts biscuits, you should have also tried Mint Slice (yumm), Kingstons and the Royals.
I'm absolutely stoked (aussie for impressed) that you did the Tim Tam Slam - and you did it the right way (opposite corners) - you get your Aussie Patch now.
Ps. Have you tried chicken salt on some chips (fries or French fries)?
And you nailed the Vegemite coverage!
Pro Tip - add some smashed avo on top.
Cheers! We'll have to try all that next time😊
you did the tim tam slam the right way, i have seen so many americans do it the wrong way
Yes! We will admit it wasn't our first one but still good to know we got it right 😊
If anybody from o'seas likes a little alchohol on a hot day, for something different, try a Bundaberg rum and coke. Please grin and enjoy.
Sounds different, but good! Thanks for watching 😊
@@twotravelingkings Called a "dark and stormy"
@@allangoodger969 No a 'Dark and Stormy" is with ginger beer. I know because I love it and hate the taste of coke.
Onya guys! Vegemite is so yum. Nice to see you help others to appreciate it and how to spread it correctly. lol.
I have even used it for a soup base, hmmm might go well with the shape's.
Timtam slams are the best!
And you even have some things unique to each state. We are Adelaide, South Australia. And when friends moved to Western Australia they couldnt get fruchocs. And Venetian biscuits. Something to try on your aussie list another time. Hope you both ok and have gotten home safe and sound.
Thanks for the kind words Adele! We have gotten back to the US safely but will definitely give those biscuits a try next time we're in Australia! 😊
You can get venetian bikkies in Western Australia......just sayin'.....
@@heatherrowles2580 this was a few years back lol
You like vegemite...You are officially Aussie.
Arnott's Shapes? Gotta be BBQ
Wow! When talking about the Iced Vo-Vo you said "jam" (instead of "jelly")...definitely honourary Aussies!
Love our vegemite! 😊
Wow, it would never have occurred to me to toast the fairy bread bread! Do we really do that somewhere in Oz?!
It wasn't bad to be honest! Thanks for watching 😊
The clue is in the name, fairy bread, not fairy toast.
This was the first time I have heard of this and I have been an Australian for 44years now.👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
You have to have the butter or margarine already on your knife ready and waiting, so when the toast pops your ready with the butter then as soon as you put the butter on then put on the Vegemite as quick as you can. So then your basically swimming in butter and the toast is still piping hot! Beautiful,....got to be ready for that piping hot piece of toast with melting butter seconds after it pops.
But if your still not that clever cold toast with Vegemite is still ok, lol!
But it's best when everything is on that piece of toast only seconds after it pops,..with melting butter,...lol!
And also better with fresh bread or a loaf from a proper bakery. Yum!
We loved Vegemite! Still do 😊 thanks for watching!
Most mornings at work, we order vegemite on toast and flat whites from the corner cafe. And MMMMMMMMM MM. love it.
Delish
You should try a very thin slice of colby cheese on top of the vegemite toast which will ever so slightly melt. Also try normal bread thinly buttered add Vegemite and salt and vinegar chips/crisps and put another price of bread with vege and butter in top and cut in half, absolute favourite as a kid.
That sounds good!
And if you look at the shapes box, the background is the shape of the shape you will find inside. My favourite flavours are the original barbeque, vegemite and original savoury. Hopefully some day you get to try a real sausage sizzle
Edit: You can cook homemade anzac biscuits (my favourite treat) at home. My favourite is the chewy kind, so if you look up a recipe for chewy anzac biscuits you can have that as well. ANZAC bisucits were made to send to Australian loved-ones soldiers during World War (idk if it’s 1/2) because it wouldn’t go off when you sent it.
The chewy kind are my (Jenny) favorite as well! Thank you so much for sharing we'll have to make those 😊
The proper way to eat Cheezels is to put one on each finger wiggle your fingers around for a second and then chomp them off each finger without going through to the finger itself xD
I'm sure it makes them taste better :)
If you want to pronounce Arnotts like an Aussie replace the 'o' with an 'e' and cram it all into one syllable.
You can spread Vegemite thicker if you increase the amount of butter also. Its really good with cheese on toast and you can put a bit on steak as your cooking it for an extra kick!
Milo is great with hot or cold milk (never make it with water!) and the secret to making it properly is to completely ignore the instructions - at least four tablespoons are needed (if you have a mass of half dissolved Milo floating on top its perfect!)
😊👍👍
I was at a freinds house for their kids party and they had a close friend of the family and his wife from the US there while they were over here on holidays.
We most definitely had Fairy Bread for the kids, near all families will do it, and they looked at me strange when i took two pieces and chowed down on them while at the table talking and even called me out for eating the kids food. I just looked at them stunned while everyone laughed not at me but at them. One of the other parents held up a piece they had on their plate and shoveled it in her mouth.
Mate informed them that Fairy Bread is every parents earliest childhood memory and we are not ashamed to admit we will still grab some every time we see it even as adults. Told them not to knock it unless they try it.
The looks on their face as they tried some. Damn hook, line and sinker they even went back for more themselves. Quietly they apoligised to me and swore they had never even dreamed of eating such a thing and would make sure they would make it themselves for their kids when they went back home.
Haha, it's very strange to us Americans but it is very good!
You should have tried the Bundaberg rum, mixed with the Bundaberg Ginger Ale. We call it a Dark & Stormy here. You can also purchase it pre-mixed at local liquor stores.
It sounds like we really missed out on that one. . . We'll have to remember to try this next time we're in Australia! Thank you 😊
We used to drink that(Dark & Stormy) with me mates under the Story Bridge in Brissie during the early 80's. I remember the World Expo '88!
"sausage sizzle" - the way you said it makes me laugh👍
😂
Thank you for eating vegemite correctly! You made the Aussies love you!
We love our vegemite 😊
I'm Sure You'll Understand Why A Tim Tam Ad Campaign Has Become An Aussie Legend. It All Started With An Ad Where A Genie Granted A Lady's Wish For "A Never-ending Packet Of Tim Tams!" It Became A Series Of Ads Featuring "A Never-ending Packet Of Tim Tams!" Every Now And Then You'll He People Mention "A Never-ending Packet Of Tim Tams!", As Something They Want.
Didn't know that!
you should make some chocolate crackles which is another kids birthday favourite and you can do that when u r back in the usa
Just had to google what they are, they look tasty! Thanks for watching 😊
@@twotravelingkings i hope you get to continue your travels soon once this pandemic ends , and as for flat white coffee it is just coffee and milk that has been heated and frothed , easy peasy
Love it! Yes us too, we miss traveling. Good news is a coffee shop where we just moved serves Flat Whites. and they do it right 😊 might have to make a video about it
Kids usually put a cheezel on each finger like a ring and then eat them😄
Was a fun way to eat them :)
Edible rings.
FINALLY - Americans who get Vegemite right!! By the way the best ANZAC biscuits are made by your grandmother, not to be found on a supermarket shelf! They are actually supposed to be a little bit chewy.
Love vegemite
You didn't do the Milo right! You're meant to eat heaped teaspoons of it out of the tin, and it sticks to the roof of your mouth, and you inadvertently breathe in and nearly choke to death! hahaha! I love these videos though, guys. It's awesome to see ppl from other countries trying our foods! xxoo
And the 'Tim Tam slams' are actually called 'bickie bongs' ;)
Thanks so much 😊
Vegemite does take a bit of getting accustomed to. Most Aussie kids have it before they can even remember having it. Me I'm that tuff I can eat it straight out of the jar.
Thanks for showing a bit of Australia to the world.
Wow I don't know if we'll ever be able to eat it right out of the jar! Quite impressive. Thanks for the kind words and for watching 😊
Me too. I sometimes dip teaspoon in, and put a lump in my mouth. Many years ago, it slipped down my throat, and I am choking on it. Luckily, I got it out. Can you imagine the epitaph, Choked to death on Vegimite. lol
I'm Aussie and I've never even thought to have fairy toast instead of fairy bread. That's so weird that I might have to try it
It wasn't bad to be fair! Haha
I might try that for breaky this morning toasted fairy bread. Hahaha
Vegemite toast, milo on ice cream & a Tim tam slam! You guys are basically Aussies!
Haha did our best :)
If you are interested in all sorts of iconic Australian food and beverages, Bundaberg (a small coastal city in Queensland) is probably more famous within Australia for its Bundaberg Rum that for its Ginger beer. It has historically been a very large sugar cane producer which had a hand in both of these iconic drinks.
Good to know!
Me showing my family abroad how to do a tim tam slam all ,meanwhile it’s also my first time doing a tim tam slam 😅
Ha! 😂 Good luck!
Some of us Aussies don't like to admit it, but that brand, 'Arnott's', who produces a couple of the products you tried, is owned by an American company - Campbell's.
They were once Aussie owned but the big money Campbell's corporation came in and bought them.
There's a better way to enjoy your Tim Tams - straight out of the freezer. Crisp as crisp and delightful. Not many Aussies know of this one.
Ohhhh Tim tams out the freezer sound great, maybe with some vanilla ice cream and Milo?
@@twotravelingkings milo on weetbixs or any cereals
+Bill Saltbush Same can be said of Vegemite, bought by Kraft and no longer made to the original recipe and tastes nothing like it.
You are killing me with the Iced Vovo’s. Every time we went to our grandparents place we had Iced Vovo’s and omg you have/had to try Clinkers. Vovo’s are my childhood massive memories. So sad you didn’t like them. 😢😢 Love that you got used to Vegemite. You spread it perfectly. Spot on! And the Shapes….. Pizza Shapes all the way! They’re the bomb, so much better then the chicken crimpy! Great video!
Great work guys. Fairy bread is a kiddo fav at a birthday party. Must have a generous smattering of butter and 100’s of 1000’s. TimTams are always best slammed.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Of course I literally have a pack of chicken crimpys in my hand as I’m watching this. Go us aussies and our legendary snacks 🤘🏻
Very tasty 😊
ANZAC Cookies are usually very chewy and don't snap but are kinda hard to chew through because of the amount of oats in them
We're big fans of Anzac biscuits, so yummy!
Ha, you taught me something. I’ve been eating Arnotts Shapes for 40 years. Never occurred to me they named them Shapes because each flavour is a different shape!
😂 too funny! Learn something new everyday. Thanks for watching!
The best place to get a lamington is from a bakery as they are so much fresher then store bought ones.
Great videos guys I've just powered through them all.
P.S I hope you took some Vegemite home with you.
Definitely agree! We had a few delicious lamingtons from local bakeries around Sydney. We brought lots of Vegemite home and are still enjoying it. Actually saw Vegemite in our local grocery store (a small jar) for $7.99 USD! So happy you're enjoying our videos, means a lot to hear that 😊
OK you ate the Cheezels right and you got the tim tam spot on and bonus points for your Vegimite knowledge, and you even made the Milo right and put in on ice cream. But can't forgive that fairy bread!
Also you didn't invert the bottle for the ginger beer, try it again but this time hold the bottle upside down for a little while before opening. TRUST ME it makes a world of difference !
Haha expect a fairy bread redemption video in the future! :) Thanks for watching!
Solo my favorite when I am in Australia
It was so good!
The best Shapes are BBQ Shapes, especially all the seasoning that gathers in the corners of the bag. As for Iced Vovos, they've never been the same since Arnott's were bought out by Campbell's (the US soup company)
We'll have to try em next time!
So glad to see a video where they go in with an open mind. So many videos they go in expecting it to be weird and then misunderstand what they're eating. Good job :)
Very tasty snacks 😊 love trying new foods. Thanks for watching!
Finally some yanks who know how to spread vegimite 👍🏻👍🏻
We had good Australian teachers! :)
As an aussie i love all these snacks and im sorry but you said some of the words wrong but its fine!🤣
Haha that is not surprising 😂
You gotta have a nice dip to go with shapes. Personal favourite is hummus or tzatziki! With Anzacs, they go great with milk.
Another thing, good effort on the slams! Try it with baileys or another creamy drink. Super good 💪💪
Solid tips! 😊
I really like you guys and your travels. Thank you for sharing. I've known Australians, my friend's sister, to often scoop a whole teaspoonful of Vegimite out and suck on it like a lolliepop. Fairly bread has to be really fresh white bread with a healthy dose of soft butter (or Margerine) and Hundreds and Thousands. They are little dots, not the freckles that you guys used.
I used to eat vegemite on it's own from a spoon when I was a child.
I couldn't eat Vegemite with a spoon! And unfortunately the IGA didn't have the right sprinkles.. we'll have to do another video doing fairy bread right haha 😊
