other than the choc-milk, what are these things?
When you say pie in the US, people assume you mean a dessert.how come you don't know what a pie and sauce is?

he's right shooey. unless you'd have a chicken pot pie, in which case no one even remotely sane would think of describing it as just a "pie".When you say pie in the US, people assume you mean a dessert.
that is legitimately weird.This
yep, that will do it. can't beat a good pecan pie.Had a pecan pie once made by an American auntie. It was one of the most delightful eating experiences of my life.
you’ve been away too long little buddy. The old tradies breakfast/smoko @10am , sitting on footpath, legs stretched, in front of milk bar, eating a pie and sauce, and sipping a Coffee Big M , sucking on a Rollie dart are long gone.Maaate.Kinda like how in the South, all soft drinks are Coke. There are dozens of flavoured milks (always popular with tradies and labourers), generically known as choc-milk.
That sounds fucking incredible.Seriously there’s nowhere you can go in Melbourne, even outer suburbs, where you can’t get Bahn Mi or Sushi rolls or Pho. Basic Melbourne food.
Perth is similar, with a the addition of nasi goereng and gado gado (we are closer to Bali than any other state capitol).Seriously there’s nowhere you can go in Melbourne, even outer suburbs, where you can’t get Bahn Mi or Sushi rolls or Pho. Basic Melbourne food.
My daughter would love that!!!!Maybe take back to USA a pet baby quokka?

Young tradies these days have a special fridge on back of Ute, with a nice salad, lasagne or rice etc and a coffee machine in cabin. Takeaways are Bahn Mi or Sushi rolls or Pho, even out in the burbs.

food diversity, especially asian food diversity like that, is not really that common in the states.It's Australia mate. We're not that advanced.
caramel milk? coffee milk? we dont really have that here so it honestly just seems weird to me.how come? Please explain.
Re diversity. Contrary to what people might think australia, and particularly melbourne is pretty diverse on many counts. It’s something that is a big shock when we travel. Last time I was overseas (as we say here) was in 2018(obviously) and I was very surprised at the lack of diversity throughout Europe (UK was in Europe then!).food diversity, especially asian food diversity like that, is not really that common in the states.

People and reflected in food etc.
in australia about half the population, 50%, have a parent born overseas. I suspect not having a centuries old tradition of high cousine, plus the varied overseas born and influenced population has shaped our tastes.
Its literally true that almost anywhere you can get a sushi roll locally for lunch. Same for Banh Mi, Kebab, and. HSP* - I think it’s a melbourne invention, nearly true also for bubble cup, dumplings, Bento Box
* Halal Snack Pack
Not to forget the world famous Melbourne Coffee Shop. Just everywhere. In my small suburban shopping strip there are 5 coffee shops. The Starbucks Melbourne story is instructive and amusing.
can any of you guys give me the rundown on why this is going on?

'Designed as winter tents': Why are Australian homes so cold in the winter?
As rental advocacy groups call for minimum standards in housing, researchers are finding links between cold homes and the occupants' physical and mental health.www.abc.net.au
it’s spot on. Australian houses have never been built to climate. Full of draught, leaky, even roof insulation is only common in last 20 years. Virtually no double glazing, the market is so small it’s made it expensive. It’s a national embarrassment.can any of you guys give me the rundown on why this is going on?

Australia's environment in 'shocking' decline, report finds
Extinctions are growing and 19 ecosystems are on the brink of collapse, a five-year survey warns.www.bbc.com
Good thing you got a picture while you’re still able
You would have invited them in to use your bong more likely.A few years ago I had a bong bit cut off my front yard hose. Little buggers. I coulda given them plenty of old hose from out the back if they’d only arksed.
It's also phenomenally inefficient. The reason you have a grid - with large, centralised and flexible/controllable generation - is because of diversity of load. Local generation is fine to offset some of a homeowner's electricity bills (though the payoff is still in the 8-10 year range - e.g. $6k for a solar HW system versus $1.5k for electric or gas is a lot of fucking bills to make up the difference) but it also causes issues such as voltage rise for a grid that was only ever designed to be one way - generator-to-consumer, not consumer-to-grid.The Australian solar grid is fucking phenomenal. Over 30% of homes have panels on their roofs. They can then either store excess power in their own batteries or sell the excess to the grid. So instead of relying on large, centralized solar farms, the entire thing is decentralized and spread across the cities.
No they don't.In the cities, most people live in apartments.
