Pork speck or Jewish deli speck? (I imagine sawdust would be lovely with the Jewish deli speck.)

The only speck I know is Italian/German speck which is pork.

I could rock that too, especially if smoked. (I would prolly eat sawdust if it was smoked right.)

Speck is always smoked. It's basically lightly smoked prosciutto.

Yeah I was in Berlin the other week and saw that. They call it 'diesel'. Didn't try it :barf:

Putting things in beer is a thing all over Germany. I was quite partial to Fanta in wheat beer. But they do the full gamut of fruit juices in beer too (shandys).

German fanta is mostly real orange juice. It's not like the American poo poo.

Also, google 'spezi'. It's cola and orange mixed together that you buy in a bottle just like any other softdrink.

No it is not exactly the same at all. After water and sugar, the main ingredient is orange juice. Here is a photo I took on my last trip because it tasted like real oranges. American Fanta isn't using orange juice.



If you think it even tastes the same, then unfortunately your palate is hosed.

you won't see any indication of this on most labels as it's a byproduct of orange processing and therefore a natural product, labeling laws are really backwards.

You're referring to specific fruit 'juices' made and sold in the USA by a specific company. The EU has a completely different set of laws. If it's labelled 'orange juice' then it's orange juice.

Pulp or cells
The products obtained from the edible parts of fruit of the same species without removing the juice. Furthermore, for
citrus fruit, pulp or cells are the juice sacs obtained from the endocarp

All it's saying is you can add the pulp back lol

There's no pulp in European Fanta which looks and tastes different to American Fanta. Anyone that claims they are the same and taste the same have poo poo palates and eyesight.

uh no, it mentions cells specifically, which indicates they're trying to OK the expression of essential oils from the orange rind.

Someone doesn't know what endocarp means. You should read the document you tried to use as a source a little more closely. I even quoted the definition of cell from it it for you.

How does America deal with having poo poo coffee from every single establishment? I'm dreading visiting because I'm sure no one will know what a latte is.

It's not as bad as it used to be. You can even get flat whites now in some places which was unheard of 3 years ago.

"Australian Coffee" isn't a thing. Its just well made espresso drinks with the addition to the menu of the Aussie 'flat white' which even Starbucks do now. Otherwise it's the same as everywhere else in the developed world. Melbourne just has a higher density of well roasted coffee and good baristas/cafes to make/serve it.

What's unique about Australian Cafes is the combination of high quality espresso with small menus of high quality food. That's what you are finding in NYC and apparently LA (I haven't heard of any in the SF bay area yet).

When I was a broke student, hot dogs in wonder bread was a regular in rotation (because that was all there was to eat sometimes).

This is a quintessential 'dish' in Australia. You get a snag in bread at a sausage sizzle. Aussies don't use buns unless it's a weird pork 'hotdog' weiner which they call hotdogs. Aussie snags are cheap beef instead, completely raw requiring cooking.

At most places, I just say "dealers choice" and they lose their poo poo. The average server loses their mind. They start asking if "dealers choice" is a brand name and then they offer me food that they don't even make. "How about PB&j?"

I've got one Subway where the manager knows me and I don't have to be grilled with "Do you want turkey on your turkey sub?" "Do you want horseflies on it?"

He just makes me something different every day and I never ask questions. It's magic. I also have a Qdoba guy that's the same way. i just got off work, I don't need any more questions, just put food in my belly and I'll be good. I'll decide more stuff tomorrow.

In the US, Cilantro is the leaves, and Coriander the seeds, right?

We just call it all Coriander which is dumb now I think about it.

It's not dumb, Americans are dumb. Cilantro is the plant, Cilantro Seeds are the seeds. They don't call Tomato seeds "Jazberwazzits".

Who is putting raw jalapenos on a banh mi? They should be putting raw birds eye chillis on there instead. We have banh mi rules for a reason.

The Vietnamese population in Northern California (perhaps the rest of the USA too, I dunno). I'm Aussie and am used to thai birdseye in Vietnamese food too. They're way more delicious.

In southern california are they using birdseye? I hope so. When they bring the plate of bean shoots and stuff with my Pho here, it's always disappointing to notice the lack of a vibrant red color.
