1 tin of Nestlé sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon of Keen's powdered mustard
1 half-glass of malt vinegar.Bash the lumps out of the mustard powder and add the vinegar, then add the vinegar to the condensed milk. This will curdle it, and the aditional ingredients render the mixture palatable to Australians.

offlineMemberAh, the famous 'Coon' cheese. Still makes me laugh every time I see it in the supermarket.
They don't know what the word means here - it's like a parallel universe where the word 'cunt' (say) means 'umbrella'.
The weird thing is that apparently the cheese got the name because it was previously sold in a black paper wrapper. The company who make it don't like this idea, and have managed to find a Mr Coon who worked for them a hundred years ago, and they claim it's named after him. But it's not, really.
Bless them - you've got to love 'em, especially the way they're bowling at the moment...
BTW, 'wog' is a non-offensive word here, meaning 'Italian person'. Still catches me out.
That was 'Letter from Australia', with Rick Westwell. Next week, spoons.
