I think what alarmed me about the 7-11 pie was that it looked exactly like the sort of thing that in the US would be filled with cheap, gluey cherry or blueberry filling consisting mostly of corn-syrup gel and food coloring. The thought of a corn version disgusts me. <br /><br />I can't really defend my defense of the pork sandwich, though. I throw myself on the mercy of the court!<br /><br />Ashlee: Exactly! Fire floss: disgusting yet irresistible. That's the angle I'm working here.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218984943813920951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22419242.post-83602991491216716062010-05-25T19:30:25.519+07:002010-05-25T19:30:25.519+07:00Is that yellow stuff pretending to be apple sauce?...Is that yellow stuff pretending to be apple sauce? We often eat apple sauce with roast pork... <br /><br />It looks pretty icky, but it really doesn't look much more offensive than Breadtalk. I was back in Jakarta the other day and I walked past BT and got a huge whiff of it after a 3 month absence and was like "EWWW omfg how did I manage to eat bread from that place? The smell!" Though right now I could kind of deal with some 'fire floss'...Ashleehttp://www.bettylovesblogging.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22419242.post-32235355840772727762010-05-25T18:05:07.895+07:002010-05-25T18:05:07.895+07:00Your 7/11s also migrated to Australia, just so you...Your 7/11s also migrated to Australia, just so you know.<br /><br />I'm also appalled that you find the concept of a pork-floss-margarine sandwich more natural -- and apparently more delicious? -- than a corn-filled pie. Here in Oz we fill pies with all sorts of things: corn, leeks, potatoes, curry, and -- dare I say it -- even pork.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464664709884494890noreply@blogger.com
