It's Aussie food. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1542 Joined: 31 Mar 2008    | I had a girlfriend that had an apple tree in her back yard. Just so she had a way to get rid of all the apples she would pick them when they were ripe and then use them to make the most amazing apple pies. |

Care to elaborate? I'm intrigued as to the origins and ingredients of so-called "vegemite sandwich"???
I was actually just curious as to what foods you used to have that you can no longer have due to the circumstances: whether it be because your ex-gf left you, your parents/grandparents died, restaurant closed, you've moved to a new location, etc, etc... |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 509 Joined: 24 Sep 2008  | Cafeteria food is supposed to be disgusting, but I really miss Crispitos. They were little deep fried tacos that were AMAZING. Totally worth the high child hood obesity rate in the States... |
Beat Writer  Posts: 204 Joined: 16 Dec 2008 | In my town we had a rockin' pizza joint called Nancy's. They had a Chicago-style pizza that could fill even my fat belly in one slice. It was so good and their thin New York-style pizza was also fantastic. They had a really unique sauce and their Italian sausage was ground in-house and made entirely by the restuarant (not from some supplier). Alas they went under and now I can't get that pizza anywhere. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1381 Joined: 29 Jul 2008 | There was this awesome soup place eight blocks away from me that had the most perfect beef stew. All other beef stew is ruined for me because it has to be compared to that beef stew. No place can get it just right like they did. *Sob* So good, I want more. Where did you relocate to? WHERE! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1037 Joined: 21 Aug 2008  | My mother's chicken and dumplings with onion broth. She doesn't cook much anymore, so I'm lucky to get it once a year on my birthday... But man, it's good. |

Larenxis told me that she tricked Purplerain into eating some on our jolly jaunt through Downtown. |

I would be ever so grateful if someone could tell me what's actually in one of those fabled vegemite sandwiches? |

Vegemite is some sort of delicious spread made from beer extract or something, combined with faerie dust. Australians eat it, as do a lot of the English, because it's awesome. Think Marmite, but about twenty times better. |

Oh good god I must have some now. That stuff sounds really good! I wonder how I could get some here in the states? Any ideas? |

Well, it involves a wee bit of smuggling.. http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,20623014-948,00.html I never knew that until I googled a few things. If you have friends in another country I'd ask them to import it :P |

You have gotta be kidding me! We always ban the good stuff! Do you know how hard it is to find blood sausage here, let alone GOOD blood sausage? EDIT: It's just crazy that we ban so many good and different types of foods, crazy. |
Copy Clerk Posts: 112 Joined: 17 Jan 2008 | I can't believe you lot banned Vegemite :D There'll be Aussie runners turning up on Miami beaches soon enough. |

With the holidays coming, I was thinking about a few ex-gf's and the food that they made for me during this time of year.
One gf that I had used to make the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. It took her around two hours to make them, and after she was done, she would present me with a giant bowl with butter, chives and my favorite mix of salt and pepper.
Another gf used to make absolutely dynamite peanut butter cookies. She would make them from scratch, and they always came out perfectly. The funny side of this was that the cookies were the only thing that she could make...this woman would screw up a bowl of cereal, and yet, the cookies were the best.
Now Escapists', I'm curious, what are some foods, baked goods or special treats that an ex-gf, ex-bf, deceased mother/father/grandparent, or anyone else who's no longer in your life, that you miss the most?
