School Lunch in Australia

Our Aussie canteen was pretty crappy, it was sandwiches or pies, with a line so long it would take most of your 40 minute lunch just to get your sandwich, it was never worth it. The big hit at our high school canteen was a sausage roll on a buttered white horseshoe roll. I never understood it, honestly. But it was the #1 seller, and these lovely volunteer mums would just slap a oblong sausage roll on a horseshoe shaped roll and smother it in sauce.
Also: in both my primary and high school we never had access to sugary soda or candy of any kind either from the canteen or vending machines. If you were wanted something sweet in primary you had to get a little bundle of 10 carob buds or a packet of ovalteenies. In high school they had these huge choc chip cookies which were awesome - I look for them at every corner shop I go in just in case.
All the options for drink were milk or juice, and the grotty anorexic girls used to buy a bottle of juice, poke a hole in the lid with a pen and then shake up the juice and squeeze the foamy bubbles out the top and suck it off the lid - god why was my high school so full of tacky sluts? :P

Pantry Staples in Australia: Vegemite, of Course

I, like all good Aussies loved Vegemite! On fresh white bread with butter was my all time favourite. But then they brought out Cheesybite, where its blended with cream cheese and it is sooooo yummy. I eat it on vita wheats almost every day for a snack.
Then I tried to have some O.G Vegemite on toast and ARGH! I know now what everyone else thinks when they eat it, its horrible, salty, bitter, wretched stuff.

But Cheesybite? AWESOME!
