Unusual Sandwiches

I think you are right about the young age.

Just how strong is the rivalry down there?

Depends if it's rugby season or not. They'll sheep joke us year round.

Generally it's insult them casually a lot unless there's an American or UK person in the room then they're our best friends. Then it's ANZACs vs the world then CANZUK with America at the bottom mostly because they invented the wrong shaped football to kick around

Mostly it's all good, they'll rip on us, we'll rip on them both will rip on UK/USA.

Fairly safe if you're Canadian.

Kinda like on UK programs that mock France/Germany. It's like that.

FWIW, found a place near(ish) me that sells both marmite & vegemite, so no need to try an international smuggling ring! Thanks, though, Z!

Lol you that brave?

Note there's two types of marmite. This is the NZ one.

Marmite

Marmite, New Zealand's original yeast spread, has long been valued as an excellent source of folate, a good source of B vitamins, a source of iron and low in fat. Marmite is a great-tasting spread that can be enjoyed on wholegrain toast for breakfast, or spread on crackers for a delicious...

Might be cheating but went out to a new place that opened just after lockdown.

Syrian place. No booze.

Strawberry shake.

Starter.

Baba ghounush with pita bread. Make your own sandwich.

And the main.

Grilled lamb with more pita. Basically filled the wraps.
Everything was delicious, $14 USD for the lamb, starter and shake around $5.50.

Wife had the chicken shish.

He's 6. At a similar age I made Milo (malt drink powder) and suger sandwiches.

He's a deviant .

This sandwich is only SLIGHTLY unusual.

It’s a grilled cheese melt...but the cheeses are American, provolone, and smoked Gruyere, and the meat was prosciutto.

it was somewhere between a grilled ham & cheese and a grilled bacon & cheese. And that’s a good thing.

In my experience, grilled bacon & cheese sandwiches can have textural problems- too crunchy or too floppy- and if you’re unlucky, the bacon might try to escape in whole slices.

This sandwich had none of that going on. Instead, the texture was VERY like a ham & cheese melt. But the prosciutto’s more intense flavor was more like the bacon version of the sandwich.
