Australian junk food (Part 1)

Overall, we've been eating a lot of healthy food since getting here. A big factor are the big $1 bags of produce that get sold at market stands when they're about to close. Having those means that a lot of dinner plans start with questions like "so, how can we use up a kilo of broccoli?"

But then...

These flavors ('flavours') are all excellent, though the Rum Raisin and Black Forrest are suspiciously similar.

There is also (at least one) generic brand version of the Tim Tam. It looks like this:

A natural thought would be that 'Choc' is just slang for 'Chocolate.' Not so. See how the word 'Choc' is less than half of the word 'Chocolate'? Pretty much the same thing applies to the taste.

Here is a Triple Choc cookie, next to the picture on the packaging. Chalky...

Also, they're made in Fiji (huh??). There are worse ways of getting a sugar rush, though, and they more or less work for the 'Tim Tam Slam' (slurping coffee or tea through them).

Then there's candy. Some kinds are familiar:


Others are somewhat different:

This had a cherry/coconut/chocolate thing going all at once. Think of a cherry-infused Mounds bar. It was tasty.

We've done less exploring of the savory junk food, but so far, so good. These are roast chicken-flavored chips:

They contain no actual chicken. Nor do they really taste like chicken. But they're good.

(Alright. We're going to go brush our teeth.)
