What did students think?

 

  1. The sausage roll with tomato sauce combination was a resounding hit!
  2. Vegemite was polarising, a few loved it, but most were disgusted and confused about its popularity here
  3. The Anzac biscuits were unanimously loved
  4. Many surprisingly disliked the texture of Lamingtons!
  5. The consensus on fairy bread was so-so, just like sugar on bread
  6. Kirk’s Pasito was refreshing but nothing special
  7. Musk Sticks were described as tasting like perfume and smelling like old people or old people’s homes
  8. Milo was very popular and was familiar to those from Japan and Chile
  9. Finally, Tim Tams were known and loved by most students and for our first timers it was a delicious surprise
