VB and Vegemite Sarnies for New Arrivals to Australia

With the news that the Brits are going to offer a cup a tea and a biscuit to new arrivals at Terminal 5, the Aussies are rushing to offer arriving passengers a tastier more wholesome welcome treat.

Sausage sarnies are also being considered.

Talking of spreads, how about Tim Tam Spread.

If I do come back to the wet, miserable and depressing land, I'll have my tea with milk and two sugars and a club biscuit. Thanks for the incentitve plan Debatable Land.

War Rations

Arnotts have just reissued these biscuits, presumably to lend support to the embattled US President. They were used as Australian troop rations through both World Wars. All the manufacturing equipment went to Papua New Guinea, when demand slowed here in Australia. A special order of 304,320 were made and dumped on the market with no advertising over Christmas. The supermarkets here have been overflowing with them for a short time. Wonder if it is the name. They are actually quite good. Bit like a sweet Rich T.
