A very, very important question of global scope

[sqbr]

So I was looking up recipes for hokey-pokey icecream today and was overcome by an almost inconceivable suspicion: it's not eaten in America! Or in fact anywhere beyond the Pacific region!

Is this true? Because you guys are missing out. On the plus side afaict it's just made by mixing vanilla icecream with honeycomb (or "sponge toffee", which sounds terrible), though I plan to make it with butterscotch flavoured icecream(*).

What are the foods/recipes from a country you've lived in which you can't believe people overseas don't eat?

Personally I have trouble understanding how people can not like vegemite, but intellectually I can see how it might be something you need to have grown up with :)

(*)When I can find somewhere that sells oat/almond milk and honeycomb, Coles having neither this evening. Bah!

Roast chicken is in the U.S. Well, as pollo a la brasa. We have Peruvian and other Latin styles of rotisserie chicken with awesome sides :-D.

I wish we had that, it sounds great! The specifically Australian variety is a plain quarter roast/bbq chicken & fries - it's like going to Burger King, but with pieces of chicken instead of a burger. It's...not so fantastic. :)

Do they have dodgy stalls in mainstream food courts?

We have a chain of portuguese grilled chicken here which is quite nice.
