Australian Chips | Burger Rings
Australian Chips | Twisties Cheese
My co-worker went to Australia and I asked if she could bring me back some snacks. I am always very curious how other countries do their snacks! Well, I will go ahead and say that the grand ole USA does chips better. I don’t know what the best chips are in Australia, but these are not it. The burger chips, I was so excited! It kind of just tastes like MSG and steak sauce or something. You know? And the twisties? No. It’s like worst Cheetos. I really appreciate the gift and all the way from down under but I just wasn’t a big fan…or maybe I’m just used to American junk food?
Ever heard of oat groats? Me neither. I saw a post on Facebook (uh-oh) and he was mentioning how he wanted to eat less rice so he gave a recipe on how to prepare oat groats with bulgar wheat. I followed it to a T, that recipe didn’t work out. But what I ended up doing the second time was just rinsing these oat groats off, I cooked 2 cups (the rice measuring cups) and filled the water line in my rice cooker to 2.5 cups and there we have it. I don’t mind it! It’s kind of like brown rice but it’s oats…you might find a husk here and there but just spit it out and you’re good to go. I ordered this off amazon because I am not sure where to find it locally. Have you folks tried this before?
I wonder if your co worker just randomly picked or did people tell her they were the most popular. Interesting.
Since every. single. person. I know has been going to Japan, we get so many Japanese snacks and some are very different. Ahhh, just a bag of kakimochi is the best! Doesn’t even have to be the expensive fancy kind…conbini daisuke!
I actually looked up the most popular ones and chose these two lol.
yes everyone is going Japan! Summer is the last time I would go. But the dollar so strong so I get it. Can’t go wrong with any food from Japan!
you might be able to find groats at Down to Earth.
Thanks Kat! I’ll check next time I go.
Give me the good old Cheetos (puffed), and I am a happy camper.
Agree!!!!
Never heard of oat groats. Sounds interesting. Thanks for the info. I think I’ll pass.
Hahaha all the best chips you can eat is in America!
Having parrots, oat groats is a key component of parakeets, lovebirds and cocktiels (i.e. parrolets) seed diet. Pet stores do sell them separately, Kalihi Pets. Never thought people actually ate them.
Omg N this made me laugh out loud. One of my friends calls health food bird food and here I am literally eating bird food! I don’t think can bring myself to buy it from a pet store for my own consumption lol
