I also don’t know why lammingtons are so confined to Australasia.

Strongly seconded.

My friend in France is addicted to peanut butter m&ms which she cant get. So when we went to visit we took her 5 pounds of them! :laugh:

Girl Scout Cookies are another thing you should rethink a career as an arms dealer or drug smuggler if you can actually clear customs -or cross a border by any means- with them.

I finally resorted to blatant attempts at bribery, and getting strangers to post in country to DHL, to get my pregnant sister in law in DEU/GB her dosidos!!! Cargo containers full of unicorns move easier than Girl Scout Cookies.

A little late but...

Lamingtons are the best.
Tim tams are awesome.
Middle Earth has fluoridated water too, except in some towns I think thanks to (SRG, I very much like this name) the tinfoil hat brigade. Also random "fluoride free water fountains" are starting to pop up. sigh.

Girl scout cookies are also v delicious. Except here they are "girl guides" I think.

Do you non-Australasians have toffeepops or mallowpuffs?

When the zombie apocolypse comes those who have a case or 100 of those are going to be rich!

^Make them! Very easy and even more delicious than buying them.

The sweet chocolatey icing sugar mix (cocoa & icing sugar) or, if you prefer the raspberry flavour ... gooey, drippy, deliciously, wickedly sweet.... icing and then rolling the cake blocks in a huge pile of dessicated coconut yummy!

Starts to build up on your fingers after a while & forces one to lick your fingers and hands and then go and wash them and start again. What a chore! :sorry:

Americans and Australians because they laughed loudly in public which most Europeans dont do. Weird huh?

^ True... Do we find life funnier than Europeans?

Toffee pops yes, though they're not very commonly found. Never heard of a Mallowpuff, similar to toffee pops?

Vegemite on crumpets is absolutely gorgeous ♡

With an egg on top ?

Ish. They're a circular biscuit disk with a big dome shaped soft marshmallow on top, all covered in chocolate (with different flavour variations/additions).

Annnnd, now I'm craving them :D

They sound like our tunnocks tea cakes. Proper old people's Scottish biscuit along with caramel logs (chocolate covered layers of wafer and caramel)

 

[Teasel]

I was gonna say they sound like tea cakes :)
I don't think I've ever had a tunnocks teacake, but the tunnocks caramel wafers are the mutt's nuts. Might have to look out for their tea cakes too ?

Really? They find us finding them funny rude? lol... takes all kinds...
