I have spoken English (United States of America variety) all my life. I read these words, and am frightened to find out how true the old joke of being divided by a common language, really is!

I have not a clue what any of that meant.

HOW DID I DO, PLEASE DONT TELL IMMEGRATION

[aussiephil]

You were doing well, until u desecrated the humble rissole.

I can almost forgive the tim tam question.

http://loveandcooking.blogspot.com/2004/10...at-tim-tam.html

[rdenman26]

OK, I did some further study

The Australian rissole is generally made from minced meat and pan fried, without a pastry covering, but sometimes with breadcrumbs. (wikapedia, 2007). Does this mean it contains what ever the chef feels like putting in it?

Wikapedia also had a pic of a tim tam. We have a similar tasty treat call a penguin. The correct procedure is to either putt the whole thing in your mouth at once, or seperate the two halves and eat the filling first.
