So far as I have found, Australians have very strange tastes with regards to their snack foods. I've had the chance to sample those that are stocked in the office micro-kitchens. In addition to the obscure tastes I have seen before, such as "salt and vinegar", I have also found some surprising combinations of food coloring, artificial flavors, and fried potato/corn starch.
- Chicken flavored Samboy: Imagine those chicken bouillon cubes you use to easily make broth. Take those, grind them up into a powder, than sprinkle it over potato chips.
- Burger Rings: Because you want your sides to taste like your mains! Wait, you do? They are like onion rings, but at least onion rings started off as an organic product grown from the earth. These things are an affront to nature.
Not to say all the food in our micro-kitchens is foreign to me. Cadburys Chocolates translates fairly well and my fat kid instincts can still find the good stuff.
