I'm having some fun reading about American versions of "Australian" food today in the news.

Seriously, this is not true. Nobody eats fairy bread as a breakfast, an after-dinner dessert or a snack between meals. It's an uncommon treat for kids, usually at birthday parties or the like. It's really sugary, so I guess Americans assume it's an "everyday food". But to normal non-disgusting-blob people, it's something to save for special occasions for the kids. I've probably eaten fairy bread a dozen or so times or so in my entire life. I can't remember the last time, but I would have been about 11 years old. It's not something you'd usually come across after primary (elementary) school.
The other part of the story was about the American version of potato scallops. They're basically slices of potato about 1/4 inch thick, battered and deep fried. Normally, when you get fish and chips you might ask for a couple of scallops as well. But in America they're selling them as "Australian battered potatoes" and a single serving is like a bucket of 20 of the things smothered in cheese and ranch dressing (i.e nothing like what we put on them here). no wonder you're a nation of land whales. I mean, what' the fuck even is this meant to be, and why does it have an Aussie flag sticking out of the food:

At a fish and chip shop you can ask for deep-fried onion rings, but again, you buy them by the individual number of rings, it's not a huge monstrosity of fried onion by default.
