What's so special about an american kitchen? They got a nuclear powered oven? :laugh:
My observation would be that they are clean because they are hardly used. The other thing I guess is they can't make vegimite and cheese scrolls very easily, or anything that requires real chocolate. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Heh :laugh: The only part of my kitchen that gets used is the dishwasher and the microwave. My stove is pristine - never used!

Well ours is a constant mess. We eat out maybe one time a week. We both (Deanna and I.) think restaurant food is horrid. Way better food at home.

Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog [ ^ ] now.People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog[^]CPhog. The act of using CPhog (Firefox)[^] alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog (Firefox)[^] and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)

OK, well, I admit to having a small sample group, but what I have confirms what I've heard, that people in the US tend to eat out. I eat 3 meals out a day most of the time I am in Texas. I have to say, I've had no complaints about the quality of food. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

It depends on where you are, and how much you're willing to pay. Most towns over a certain size will have restaurants that serve decent food for a decent price, but smaller towns often have little beyond fast-food. I rarely eat out any more - it either gets too expensive, or you fall into bad eating habits. I do, however, make an exception for pizza. :)

I know we are not supposed to ask for homework help in the Lounge, but I'm hoping you'll make an exception since this is for my 7 year old son :-) Long story short my son is doing a presentation on Australia and it is supposed to include an example of typical cuisine. My wife has tried googling but claims the only thing she could come up with were packaged products to buy and she was hoping for something that she could actually make. So now I'm off to google for myself, but of course my first thought was to stop in here and see if you guys could offer up a simple recipe or two that could be made in a typical american kitchen. Thanks in advance for any help, Dave :-) Rocket science is more fun when you actually have rockets - US Navy ad
A pretty basic one most Aussie kids could cook (apart from ANZAC biscuits, Pavlova etc) would be a 'Damper' - its an outback bread, typically cooked in a round oven in the coals of a fire .... but in the oven is ok too ... best link I could find is http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/recipe.cgi?r=12350[^] 'g'

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: My wife is so prone to say 'let's eat out'. Tonight I cut her off at the pass by offering to cook rissoles! I record that rissoles are a sure fire success with my American family though I note that not a one of them wants to learn how to make em. Falls to me every time. I've half weaned em off ketchup - they always use tomato sauce with rissoles - we buy Rosella from a supply store in Arkansas :-) Is that weird or what?

Look here[^] at the Popular Version. They are amazingly nice and one of the few truly Australian foods. Do not ever call them cookies.

The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted.

Yeah, pavlova is definately the go for an aussie dessert. The topping would ALWAYS involve tinned passionfruit, and often have strawberries or banana ( nothing else ). Anzac[^] biscuits are always popular, I don't like them, but I think that lamingtons are Australian. They just sponge cake dipped in chocolate and coated in coconut. Peach Melba[^] is the other 'Aussie' dessert, but I've never known anyone to eat it, or any restaurant to sell it, ever in my life. The other way to Aussify something is to take a recipe that uses nuts and substitute Macadamias. Macadamia and mango cheesecake is always nice. But, Pavlova is definately the nicest of the ones that we're known for. It's ridiculously easy to make, just make sure you don't open the oven while it's cooking, or it can sink. Another nice variation is to make the pav, and form it like a bowl, then make chocolate mousee with the leftover yolks and put that in it instead of cream/fruit. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
First you don't like beer, second you don't like TV and now I find out you don't like ANZAC biscuits. You may as well pack up and move to Toronto with that other all Aussie male, the soy latte sipping Maunder. What on earth has this country come to with you two blokes chaps?

Your thinking of Harold, as in Harold Holt our own late night swimming Prime Minister. Joh never quite made it past Premier of Queensland though there was a large Joh for PM campaigm back in the 80's.

Did you try the butter, milk and cheese while you were over there? At least in Massachussetts the butter and cheese where far too pale and the milk too watery.

Mate, you have to use real passionfruit, not the tinned stuff. X| cheers, Chris Maunder

I've given up the soy latte's and instead and chugging regular flat-whites As God Intended. But I'll have to agree that anyone who doesn't like Anzac bikkies is not to be trusted. cheers, Chris Maunder

I don't even have the gas turned on in my apartment. I lived in my previous apt for 5 years and never used the stove, so when I moved here, I figured why pay for gas when I wouldn't use it.
