Once you're done with the steak you're left with what they call "Aussie cheese fries" on the menu but which look suspiciously like regular American fries loaded with American cheeses. I'd have to leave it to any actual Aussies in the audience to explain to me what makes these "Aussie." But the cheese fries aren't that bad either.
As an Australian, I have never once seen a cheese fry in my life, and in fact I consider the so-called "blooming onion" to represent an inaccurate and offensive appropriation of our culture.

I wouldn't mind trying kangaroo if I could. I bet kangaroo jerky is pretty good.

That said, I don't get the gimmick with Outback Steakhouse. They sell the same kinds of stuff as any western-themed steakhouse like Logan's or Santa Fe. What would an actual Australian restaurant sell, other than kangaroo?

Grilled sausages, raw onions, terrifying internment camps, and would kidnap your children to be raised in good Christian schools to beat out the "indolent native" in you! it's a lot like American cuisine tbqh

Fried onions in general or this specific fried onion? Because I invite you to find an Outback Steakhouse and discover the answer on your own.

You don't have to go that far, the one I went to is closer than that. (Technically.)

Alternatively, you could see if you could get one shipped, I can't imagine what that would end up tasting like!

Geop, eat the Onion Rings.

Preferably with an awesome burger. Maybe with an ice cold beer too.

Kuvo made a good decision, and you should too. Everyone should actually.

Just don't eat the onion.

I always find the idea of Outback Steakhouse peculiar seeing as we don't have steak houses in Australia, at least if we do they're not big chain places. Kangaroo's not even really that common as a food. Some stores do sell it, never really seen a restaurant do it wouldn't be surprised if a few did though, but the main meat staple is beef and chicken.

Still working on my submission. FYI the paris metro smells like piss everywhere. It's godawful.


Also, I just want to point out that Outback Steakhouse just redid their menu and the default steak seasoning is now spicy. Because when I think "good steak" I think "taste buried in spicy sauces".

"Spicy" for an American chain restaurant and "spicy" for a normal human being are two very different things.

this is dependant on which part of the states. I am assuming Europe will just use paprika.

I don't think you need to be a geologist in order to deduce that the mineral is almost definitely salt.
