I would never buy a Kebab from an Aussie run shop again.
Arabs make the best kebabs.

It's a potato scallop for me, but a lot of idiots don't know how to make or cook them the correct way.

What is called potato cake is just a shocking taste less mash that southerners came up with and there rubbish fish like shark etc.

sausage = snag.
pork sausage = banger.

Not unlike Baskin and Robbins, but they had bloody stacks of different ice creams and served "spiders" with ice cream/sponged cream and soft drink (soda or cordial) for you southerners. Awesome gear.

Cheers!

And you'd walk into one and smell sauce, and Hot Pies baking away.

Now if you get anything that's remotely like a Milk Bar, all you smell is coffee and soap powder.

And the doors used to squeak so the owner could run out from watching A Country Practice so you couldn't pinch a box of Redskins.

When I was a kid I moved from QLD to NSW during year 10 (err year 9 in NSW). Anyway I would always get myself into hot water whenever I asked for a "rubber" (an eraser)! The whole class used to erupt in laughter and I'd be left wondering what all the fuss was about?! Took them months to tell me what a "rubber" meant! Sick minded state!

We called them 'rubbers' too, (erasers).

When I was at primary school, the canteen was called the tuck shop and it was run by "the tuck shop lady", who we all knew cos she was someone's mum. Water fountains were called bubblers, a tap was for connecting the hose to and there was usually with a sprinkler on the end of the hose!
Potato cake for sure
Milk bar
Togs or bathers
Icy pole

I guess that is technically an apple cake, but the apple cake that rokwiz was referring to is kind of like a small, round iced pastry filled with apple, shortcrust pastry kind of like a mini apple pie. Am I right, rokwiz? My local Woolworths sells them in the bakery section here in Melbourne.

Is it true that you can't buy a pasty in Vic and NSW?

South Aussies, who remembers getting a slice of Fritz when visiting the butcher with Mum?☺

Pasty/pastie the same? If yes then just about every bakery/SPMK and take-away shop sell them in Victoria.

[stevepet]

What do you call scallops?

[The Yeti]

Scollups are scollups and then there's potato scollups

They probably call them Sea Potatoes or something

[Tassie f100]

Well for the uneducated (ie those north of the Vic NSW border) a scallop is a shellfish whereas what you call a scallop is actually a slice of dried out potato cooked in a doughy excuse for batter

You can buy a pasty here in NSW. A pastie (ie nipple guard/shield) has to be purchased from a different shop though..
