  1. Ian, be VERY CAREFUL when you eat the Fantales and Minties because they’re hard and will stick to your teeth if you try to bite them! Just suck on them! The creature on the pack of Bananas is a monkey! I think you’ll find that the big bottle cap is actually a bottle opener. Look on the other side and see if it’s shaped like a hollowed out bottle cap. Speaking of cobbers, there are cubes of hard caramel we have here that are called Cobbers. Their opposition candy is called Mates but the Cobbers are better, as with most original products. Steve Parrish is a well known Australian photographer. You can google him to see his amazing photographs. Yagoona is a suburb of Sydney. You guys really need to make your ANZAC Biscuits at home! They taste so much better and were never meant to be mass produced. Even in WWI, they were home baked, packed into a tin and sent overseas to the Aussie troops. It’s only been in the last ten years that biscuit companies have started making them for the supermarkets. I’ll see if I can find you a proper recipe, 🇦🇺🔻 but you need to find Golden Syrup. I know they have Lyle’s Golden Syrup in Canada, so hunt around for it. You will also need finely shredded coconut, not the thick cut style. Vegemite used to be owned by Kraft but is now properly owned by Bega, an Aussie company named after the town of Bega on the southern coast of Australia. The Vegemite factory is on its own street called Vegemite Way. Someone started trying to expand the Vegemite lines but none of their experiments have lasted for very long, Cheesymite is one of them. We, the people, just keep reverting to the original Vegemite. Don’t mess with the real thing, right? With one exception, the low salt version, which has a blue stripe around the top of the regular label. 45% less salt is good for me. LCMs are a lunchbox treat for kids, made from Rice Bubbles and a yummy binding agent that kids love. They’re too sweet for me, but you might enjoy them. 🇦🇺🔻 ANZAC BISCUITS RECIPE: https://youtu.be/WCbud7sUXsk

  4. In one of the Narnia books by C.S. Lewis, Turkish Delight features as a temptation to lure the children into the wicked queen’s world. It originates in the middle east and has similar sweets around the world, such as Japan’s Mochi. Turkish Delight is the anglicised name for it, but it’s a soft, sticky sweet, liberally dusted with powdered starch to make it easy to handle. Often made with rosewater and almonds, as well as other flavours. It can be very more-ish!

  5. Banoffee Pie recipe from UK: https://youtu.be/k_rvpP0URi0 And from Aussie chef, Curtis Stone: https://youtu.be/4QloGc4T6O0 My favourite TimTam Biscuits are the dark chocolate and the Original milk chocolate. I prefer the Choc Mint Slice to the TimTam Mint. Also, disappointingly, the mango ones (limited editions) don’t taste like mango to me, but they taste good anyway. I’ve noticed that in the US, liquorice isn’t usually aniseed, it seems to be every other flavour except actual liquorice! Liquorice is aniseed flavour and black in colour, whether it’s the soft chewy kind or the hard toffee kind.
