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.

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.

If any of you appreciate a damn good Souvlaki and are floating around the Northern burbs of Melbourne or on your way to Melbourne Airport, stop by these guys in Matthews Avenue, Airport West, its just off the Tullamarine Freeway heading airport bound:

Its all cooked on coals, no gas.

Arabs and Greeks, know how to cook lamb, thats for sure.

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!

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

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?☺

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..
