The Food Guys Podcast

This week we tackle a spicy snack debate sparked by a Timeout survey, which beloved Aussie treats do expats miss the most when they leave the country? What Australian classic snacks do you expect to see on the list? Tim Tams? Lamingtons? We share our thoughts on what made the cut and more importantly, what should’ve made it but didn’t (ahem, cough, fairy bread).It’s nostalgic. It’s delicious. And it might make you want to raid your pantry, because these have to be the best Aussie snacks ever. Thanks to Royal Stacks for sponsoring the podcast! Get your burgers now!
