Feeling Aussie

This summer I have been hanging out with my Australian friends, Annie, and her twin boys Jono and Alex.

The other night Me, Andrea and Seth (Andrea's brother) were in for some Aussie treats. First we had hot milo with tim tams. Milo is a nestle product that is similar to hot chocolate and malt. Tim tams are chocolate covered biscuit with chocolate sandwiched in the middle. The way you are supposed to enjoy your milo with tim tams is to eat of one corner on each side and then suck the milo up through the biscuit. Next I asked to try some vegemite toast, which was surprisingly good. It was just white bread, butter and vegemite on to. (Vegemite is most famous from its line in the Men at Work song "Down Under").
Finally we had milo another very popular way they eat in in Australia. You fill a glass of milk halfway and then on top scoop in as much milo to fill the glass, usually ten scoops.You do NOT mix the milo and milk. You then dip your spoon into the milo all the way down into the milk so it sticks and eat it. It was pretty yummy.
