food...glorious food?

Obviously one of the biggest differences between America and Australia, that I've experienced so far, is something that manifests itself in daily life. It's something that you can't escape, no matter how hard you try. And, I'm sure, if Americans visit Australia they probably have similar differences of opinion.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am talking about food.

Of all the exotic and eccentric foods that I have encountered in my two weeks here so far, there are a few stand-out efforts.

First prize goes to the strangest thing I have ever seen - Big Mac Pizza. 

No, that is not a typing error. Just think about this for a moment.

I didn't take a photo, sadly. Envision these two things, COMBINED. Lettuce, pickles, plastic cheese and all.

Seriously, lettuce on a pizza?! I was too stunned to even try it.

Second prize, awarded to possibly the naughtiest breakfast cereal ever.

You like cookies? You like milk? You like breakfast? 

Well now, thanks to American genius, you can have all three of these things all at once.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Cookie Crisp. So bad, but so good!

And since prizes are handed out in threes, the third prize goes to a sadly endangered entity, one which we must fight to save.

Yes, it is the salad. And I'm doing my best to bring salad back? It's like bringing sexy back, but not as easy. Ha. Wish me luck!
