The Land of the Chiko Roll

We went to an exotic different country where they have strange creatures!

The humans wear their masks quite differently here. It seems to give this one shapely legs.

Speaking of shapely, did you know that wombats have square poos? We've still never seen either wombat nor the poo.

In this land, they have short pickup trucks called utes.

Here's one on the road, for scale.

The utes line up nicely to the signs warning of flooding, which have confusing height and grammar. The locals failed to explain this to me, and tired of my questions.

The locals here do not like it if you call their world upside down, however, they install their dryers upside down, unvented, and don't think that's funny.

We learnt more about traditional Australian breakfast foods. This is a bacon and egg roll, which is neither an eggroll, nor particularly round. You have to eat it with BBQ sauce.

These exotic people love their unusually named coffees, but I prefer toasted banana bread. It's cake that you toast with butter and eat for breakfast!

If it all feels too healthy, you can pour up to 2L of custard onto it. The locals also weren't too sure what you're supposed to pour custard onto, which made me worried about their cultural knowledge.

In this land, chicken is a flavour that you can see.

Our most amazing lesson was about the chiko roll. The chiko roll is like a deep-friend eggroll snack, that you eat with ketchup. But, it has no chicken in it! It is basically full of beef and cabbage mush, not unlike a Texas hash. Strange, yet easy to digest, I guess.

Many things here are strange, but the local cat loved Barry as much as the cats on our island do.
