prefer chicken fried steak, me

>>19181957
Mmm, that looks good. We have that in the US too. It’s known as a Southern dish
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken-fried_steak

For me it’s Alice Springs Chicken

>>19181982
I don't believe they have this in Australia at all, Anon, and that was Anon's point

>>19181746
That is the worst chicken Parm I've ever seen. Why isn't there noodles with it?

t. Confused American

>>19182031
as we americans have degenerated italian cuisine, so too do foreigners in the anglosphere have degenerated italian-american cuisine
an australian would never know he's being cheated out of chicken parmesan on a bed of creamy fettucine alfredo but life is cruel

>>19182037
Not fettuccini Alfredo you psycho. I'm talking about the fact the chicken is clearly insanely overcooked, the batter looks fucked, and there's no where near enough sauce with no noodles. That looks worse than elementary school chicken Parm.

>>19182072
Don't entertain the ItalyBot

Chicken parm in OP pic looks awesome. You clearly don’t know much about chicken parm

We have a few authentic Australian restaurants here in the US, like the famous Outback Steakhouse. Here is a sample of traditional Ozzie cuisine.

>>19182129
Bruh, for only $9.99, that’s a steal. You could even lose weight if you just ate one of those every day.

For me it's Australian shaped parma

>>19181746
Because we put ham on it & therefore it's better than yours. Also, as much as having it with pasta sounds good with it, it's much better with the humble chip, particularly when said chips are covered in the other Aussie staple that is chicken salt

>>19181746
>How did chicken parm become so popular in Australia?
baffles me too mate
I've always preferred fish n chips, sausage rolls and meat pies
>NO CHEESYMITE BAKES

>>19181746
>How did chicken parm become so popular in Australia
Long before the Asians and Lebs shitted up our country the Italians Immigrated here in droves and Parmigiana was bastardised into an easily made everyday pub dish.

>>19183062
>fish n chips
What is the preferred fish down there for fish n chips?

>>19183081
flake or gummy, it's various kinds of shark

>>19183080
So says the convicts

>>19183102
Believe it or not; but many, many more people came to Australia of their own free will than by force

>>19183081
>>19183098
It's fucking blue grenadier & I'll fight for it. Fuck basa those, it's literally eggwhites in fish shape

>>19183219
I'm convinced that basa is "dory" ie catfish

>>19182072
you sound like an actual faggot and I love me some chicky parma

>>19183575
Dory is nothing like catfish you dumbfuck

wtf i am moving to A*stralia now

>>19181746
A sausage sizzle isn't a meal, it's an event. Either a casual gathering at which the primary food served is a sausage sandwich or an attempt to raise funds for an organisation through the sale of sausage sandwiches.

>>19184327
>A sausage sizzle isn't a meal, it's an event
Bring on the teen Aussie hoes

>>19184360
oh dear
I'm sure I've seen thirteen year olds who look like that around town

the fellow manning the sizzle is usually a fat tradie type tho

>>19181746
Am I the only one that makes theirs with the sauce on top? I don't like the way the breading on the chicken gets soggy when it's cheese on top.

>>19184395
For me it’s about the cheese

>>19184834
Ah yes, gotta love a dish with “Parmesan” in the name that’s actually just covered in mozzarella and provolone.

>>19184852
The Parmesan cheese is grated into the breadcrumbs retard

>>19183635
kek

>>19181957
>>19181982
For me it’s chicken fried steak and eggs

>>19181746
Chicken Parm is Godtier. Breakfast fags are unable to hijack with their chicken fried steak

I just think the best way to eat a park is on a toasted sub bun. i know, im sorry….I just think it’s the best way, that’s all

>>19183080
Christian Lebs don’t rape so much

>>19182031
>Why isn't there noodles with it?
Because that isn't part of the "chicken Parmesan" anymore than it is eggplant Parmesan. The pasta is by American standards a side dish and by Italian an entirely seperate course.

>>19181746
idk but I love it as a bar/pub food with fries.

Honestly surprised it isn't as much of a thing here in the states

>>19184982
We have Veal Parmigiana

>>19181957
We have this, but call it crumbed steak or veal schnitty

The real reason chicken parm took off is due to Italian immigrants who owned pubs and bistros in the 70s

>>19181746
>go to any pub for dinner
>always crave a parmy
>its always gigantic and piping hot
>the chips and salad are always good too
im sure they exist but im yet to see a bad one

Hey hey hey, dude dude, hey

Do you think that the EYE TIES and the KRAUTS are teaming up to use kangaroos as shock troops so they can enact their final solution? Dude....

That chicken parm looks good, but that is the most retarded salad I have ever seen.

Austfailians wished they ate that good.

>>19185541
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_dente

>>19185721
All you did was prove me correct:
>When cooking commercial pasta, the al dente phase occurs right after the white of the pasta center disappears
The penne is undercooked.

>>19184917
The bread to parm ratio is totally off

Aussie Parma

>>19181991
4chan teaches us that Aussies are based, and except for Melbournites I think most of them would have a fine time at Outback, actually enjoy the meal (Foster's and all) while engaging in a little bants with the waitstaff.

>>19183630
>penal colony
Times have changed lad. The worst Australian criminals now get exiled to England.

Australians, we need to settle this once and for all.

Is it a Parma, a Parmy, or a Parmi?

I once knew a bloke from QLD who called it a "Parmo" and that's just absolutely vile

>>19185767
Meh, I dunno. They’d probably let the waitstaff know that they are from Australia and that none of the menu items are Australian and that’s all they’d want to talk about

>>19185783
queenslanders are bug people

parmy

>>19185830
>bloomin

noone says either of these

HUH? what the fuck did they do to that onion? also isnt it meant to be a fucking appetizer

>>19186083
It's breaded, deep fat fried, and served with a sauce that's mostly oil.

>>19182129
You're meant to share that with the table

>>19186083
Ron Pearlman cums chili, looks like an albino gorilla, and ruins every movie he's in

>>19186088
that looks pretty nice actually, also more like a dish for the whole table, which is a lot more reasonable

>>19185540
We like it that way. We want spicy steak and shrimp and onion petals. Australian cuisine is just poverty food on a silver platter anyhow.

>>19181746
sorry anon you cant trick me into thinking australia actually exists

>>19186155
HAHAHAH!! UPDOOTS TO THE LEFT UPDOOTS TO LEFT!! SOMEONE GIVE HIM SOME GOLD!!!

Most Americans would eat this as a snack.

>>19186088
Looks revolting.
1950 calories of onion?
You burgers are not serious. Onion gets thrown on the barbie or 30 seconds and then is added to snags for smell and a bit of flavour only.
No-one would eat that.
>>19181746
Not a bad looking parma. How thick I s the ham?

>>19185767
Melbourne people are fine, just a bit up themselves. Non threatening for the most part (excluding the mafia types). Lots of hot Asian chicks (though not as much variety as Sydney).

>>19186511
I'm an American and I was in Australia, including Melbourne, in the summer of 1999 and I thought all of Australia was a pretty awesome place, despite what some of you people seem to think about it now. I hope it is still as awesome as I remember. I do remember the chicken parm was particularly delicious.

>>19187803
Went from Darwin all the way around the coast to Melbourne and Melbourne sucks. It's cold and the beach is crap. You may as well be in any shitty city.
Byron's Bay is the best place to go.

>>19187847
Byron is shit. Port Macquarie is better.

>>19186103
based

>>19187803
I don't know about WA, but people in NSW and Victoria were all excited about the Olympics that summer. Not everybody, but enough people were that the vibe over 1999 and 2000 was a unique bubble. I guess the millennium also contributed.

>Australians are now claiming chicken parmigiana and hot dogs are traditional Aussie cuisine

TEST

>>19187896
>traditional Aussie cuisine
they hardly have any
most of what they think is Aussie is actually period bong, for obvious reasons
the sausage sizzle and cheesymite toastie probably comes closest to being absolutely "fair dinkum Aussie"

>>19187896
>>19187961
I think you guys need to go back to school and learn the definition of tradition.

>>19183128
>t. Stockholm syndrome

>>19184982
>Honestly surprised it isn't as much of a thing here in the states
i'm guessing you mean specifically as bar food with fries because literally every """italian""" place here sells it.

>>19181837
are bunnings snags beef or pork (or a mixture of both)? ive never had one, because until my early 20s i was a picky eater and wouldnt eat sausages. now i eat sausages but only beef.

>>19188057
>i'm guessing you mean specifically as bar food with fries
Yes specifically in that sense. I miss it from my time in australia

>>19188333
To be honest it does sound far more inviting and logical as bar food considering it's basically fried chicken with melted cheese on it.

>>19188346
exactly. I think it would be better than boneless "wings" which are basically just nugs for adults

>>19188358
>boneless "wings" which are basically just nugs for adults

I can’t identify this guys accent. But based on his outback cowboy hat and how he knows how to cook a blooming onion I am guessing he is Australian. This looks delicious!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RiQy9p44Xuc

>>19186088
These are sold in chain steak places here, Outback. Texas steakhouse they all got a special sauce

This is the best chicken Parm

>>19188885
They have them in Sunnydale, too. Spike repeatedly mentions a bar serving a deep fried onion thing shaped like a flower.

>>19186099
Nah bro you underestimate people who would get one for each person at the table

For me it’s the 3 point blooming onion.
1) a standard Bloomin' Onion, 2) cheese fries topped with monterey jack, cheddar, and bacon, and 3) bite-size pieces of center-cut sirloin steak
https://www.today.com/today/tdna109226

Chicken parm is the optimal foodstuff, there is no more delicious combination of fat and carbs.

But the posting fag said it was “center cut.” Doesn’t that count for anything?

>>19188314
i think its beef.
but its closer to whatever is the cheapest
just assume its mystery meat.

>>19186511
>Melbourne people are fine,

>>19181746
It's quick and easy to make in large amounts so pubs started serving it, once pubs started serving it it became a favourite of regular people, that's how it became so popular

>>19182031
Because it's a pub meal and all pub meals come with salad and chips as standard

>>19184327
>A sausage sizzle isn't a meal, it's an event
So what is this food item called then? I can't go into a restaurant and ask for a sausage sizzle? I want this, what do I ask for?

>>19194588
A sausage sandwich, no onions.

>>19194588
why a slice of white bread instead of a proper brioche/bun/whatever? If you're only going to have 2 main components to your "dish" I feel like you shouldn't completely half-ass one of them.

>>19194828
I guess we have a more refined sense of elegance than you do.

>>19194828
The spirit of a sausage sizzle is that it's super cheap and anyone can do it, even kids. It's the Aussie equivalent of a lemonade stand. The goal is often not to deliver cuisine, but to deliver the customer a cheap, fast, no-fuss snack, and raise funds quickly for the seller. You can literally walk into a supermarket, grab a loaf of sandwich bread, grab a pack of sausages, get a bottle of Heinz BBQ sauce, get one of those portable single-use BBQs from the camping section, and start selling straightaway.

>>19194885
>The spirit of a sausage sizzle
When I go to a restaurant in Australia can I ask for a "sausage sizzle?" or must I ask for a "sausage sandwich?" It seems like "sausage sizzle" is more accurate as in, "Have that teen Aussie wench bring me a sausage sizzle."

>>19181746
Chicken parm with anything other than spaghetti is heracy. I will stand by this I don't care

>>19193619
damn wish I had tried one when I was there. I was too poor as a student though usually shopped at Aldi instead of Woolies

>>19181746

>How did chicken parm become so popular in Australia?

>"Why does food that taste good become popular?"

Idk sherlock, it's a damn mystery

What about a fish parm? pork parm?

We call it naples style chicken supreme in my country

>>19195445
This is where great experiments begin

>>19195358
Aldi isn't cheaper than Woolworths or Coles. You have the option for more expensive products at Woolworths and Coles along with the cheaper products.
