Salt and Lime tortilla chips, dipped in cream cheese topped with sweet green chile salsa. Incredible.

Powdered chile pepper, salt, and lime (juice or sythetic lime flavor powder mixed in) is a favorite Mexican condiment on fruit around here, particularly any melon and also tamarind paste.

Good on a hot day.

We just managed to coax the closest Vietnamese restaurant to our house to start putting out bottles of nuoc-mam on the tables. Guess they thought that might be a little too hard core for their expected clientele, but we set them straight.

Another sandwich combination that some people think is weird is tomato and peanutbutter sandwiches with salt and pepper.

It's delish, but most people think I'm a weirdo for eating it.

I make a dressing with Super Crunchy Peanut Butter, Vinegar, Mustard, salt, pepper and condensed milk....its to die for and great on sangas or salad.

PB&J with potato chips inside the sandwich. Love it.
Or putting my french fries inside my hamburger.

Ducks, that sounds like it'd be good on some kinds of firm-fleshed fruit too. Bet you could change out the condensed milk for the same quantity of yoghurt for a more piquant effect, more zingy than sweet.

Sangas are... deli sandwiches, of cold cuts? There's some yobbo down your way who thinks the term ought to be read out of the lexicon as distastefully obsolete -- corny, in a word.

Aliantha 02-08-2008 04:31 PM

A sanga is just slang for a sandwich. When we say sandwich we mean two slices of bread with filling in between.

That yobbo doesn't know what he's talking abot UG. Sanga is an integral part of the language we use to confound the likes of you yanks. We'd be lost without it. Besides, ask any fair dinkum aussie if they want a sanga and they'll know what you mean. If the rest of you don't understand, then that's ok. We don't really care. :) (which is obviously a lie because I just gave you and explanation)

whenever i get confused about 'stralian dialect, i just go to Outback Steakhouse and check on the kids' menu for translation.

True -- an American of a certain age might get the idea he's being offered Sanka, and not a sandwich; he'd be bound to be startled. Time was, Sanka was the instant decaf -- no longer. I'm not even sure the brand is still a going concern.

[One search later, Wiki and a site that retails it as restaurant supplies assure me it is. It's evolved; they're using a different coffee or process now than they originally did.]

The aforementioned Vietnamese restaurant just got in trouble with the county for violating the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act. So no more 33 Beer for a while.

Vanilla icecream with a little shredded chilli on top. Very nice.
