I guess you already know, but...
...sounds very much like it's just standard American food with Australian names. Like, I don't know if there's anywhere else in the world you'd be able to order 'Alice Springs Chicken' or 'Aussie Cheese Fries'.

what about Aussie cheese chips? :-)
what do you put on your chips over there. The heathen canucks use brown gravy unless ordered otherwise.
I like malt vinegar myself.
thanx,

Lea & Perrins Worcestershire - Q to pwhysall
If you happen to have a bottle lying about, I'd be curious to know how the ingredients compare to the product as sold here in God's Favorite Country. Our version contains an unhealthy dollop of high-fructose corn syrup—not, I should think, one of the traditional components, even though the stuff is packaged as "the original & genuine Worcestershire sauce."
Is a more authentic version available at retail in the UK, or has Archer Daniels Midland co-opted the sauce there as well?
cordially,

Re: Zactly the point.
There's an old saying to the effect that if you add a teaspoon of wine to a cask of sewage you have a cask of sewage, and that if you add a teaspoon of sewage to a cask of wine, you have...a cask of sewage. We've long avoided HFCS in this household.

Don't let
Archer-Daniels-Midland know that:
Then soon they'll be getting HFCS included in Bovine Feed (along with other bovines and rBST)... you won't get away from them.
HFCS in Tofu already, HFCS in Soda, HFCS in Cereal (yeah, imagine that they couldn't get enough Corn/Wheat/Oats in the cereal...)
What next? HFCS in Gasoline? Oh wait, ethanol takes that spot. Sweet water?
Wine? Turpentine? Oh, same thing.

More often than not, Tomato Sauce
Which I think is Tomato Ketchup for you folks? It's also common (and delicious!) to have chips with brown vinegar.
Me, I smother them with mayonnaise. That's my Dutch genes showing through :)

Not Dutch
Québecois. When you order fries in Quebec (as opposed to Poutine) you get a side dollop of mayo to put on them.
Boxley's crack about gravy refers to poutine... which is supposed to come with gravy, and cheese curds too (note - NOT mozzarella as is the case at a lot of places a bit further removed from the origins of the dish).

They do that in Germany too.
I have an aversion to mayo and was suprised by it on fries at a rest stop on an autobahn.

No. No. No. No.
Which I think is Tomato Ketchup for you folks? NO! There is only ONE. Tomato Ketchup == Heinz Ketchup. Not catsup, tomato sauce. Sure, it has tomatoes in it, but also has vinegar, HFCS[1], CS, salt, spice, onion powder and "Natural Flavoring" (Must be the Sewage Rand mentioned) Me, I smother them with mayonnaise. That's my Dutch genes showing through :) Exactly what kind of Mayonnaise would that be? Hellman's here. Of course Miracle Whip works too.. [1] Don't bother me on this point. I was hooked long before *I* knew what HFCS was. --

Tomato Sauce and Mayonnaise
(which, incidentally, are a handy base for prawn cocktail :)
OK I've dragged the Rosella brand Tomato Sauce out of the cupboard and this is what it says:
Tomato Puree (78%), Sugar, Salt, Food Acid (Acetic), Spice Extracts, Garlic Extract.
No HFCS in sight - it's pretty uncommon in any food here, unless it's imported from the US :)
As for Mayonnaise, it's usually Kraft if nothing else in the fridge, or a delicious whole-egg that I remember little about except (a)I know what it looks like (b) I find it in the health food section of the supermarket (c) it's gluten free and (d) I've run out :(
Will report back the next time I feel compelled to have some chips :)

Eye No That.
Just commenting that for a reason, nobody seemed to pickup.
But, still it is pretty dern good on fries too. Especially the ones that have been in the fry bin under the lamps fer a while. But then Mayo is still better.

Utter shite is what it is.
[link|http://www.kraftfoods.com/miraclewhip/|Read all about it].
It's a white substance with mostly the consistency of mayo, but extra added tang, and it just tastes horrid. I can't eat the stuff, and if it's put in anything, I can tell that it's not made with Mayo.
