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!

Yeah, tim tams aren't made with great chocolate and I try to only eat great chocolate. Being part Swiss and having ready access to great chocolate makes the bad stuff a total waste of time.

I've found places that sell meat pies & sausage rolls. They just require driving half an hour out of the city, so I only go every month or two.

Now I'm imagining secret swiss chocolate shops which only allow you entry with swiss ancestry :)
