There’s something truly magical about Australian cuisine, but what makes our most iconic dishes special isn’t just how they taste – it’s how they bring people together. Whether it’s a casual backyard barbie with friends (where you can smell the snags a mile away!) or a family weekend baking session, Aussie food has a way of turning any moment into an occasion to remember.

Have you seen that trend on TikTok where people freeze whole eggs in their shells, then peel, slice and fry them? Ickiness aside, it makes for quite compelling viewing, as each individual slice cooks and looks like a tiny little egg. (Image: @instafoodnz)Cute, but not recommended. It’s a food safety thing, apparently. Yes, it is possible to freeze whole eggs, as well as egg whites and egg yolks separately. But our experts say there are certain guidelines to follow, to ensure you’re doing it safely.

There’s even a book featuring all the recipes from the TV show (yes, including Rachel’s questionable mince ‘trifle’), which made us think of one of the other most memorable dishes of all time from the series: the Moist Maker sandwich. In Season 5 Episode 9 of the show, Monica makes a special treat for her brother after their Thanksgiving feast. Ross explains: “My sister makes these amazing turkey sandwiches.

We spotted a few comments on a fairy bread video online from people in Holland saying that they have their own version of sprinkles on buttered bread that they serve at parties, so we immediately got into research mode. Soon, we discovered: HAGELSLAG. It’s much the same as our own fairy bread. It also involves soft, sliced white bread spread thickly with butter.

Confession time. I love the supermarket freezer aisle – it might even be my favourite aisle. Not because it houses all my favourite foods, but because it is a treasure trove of surprise food products that I didn’t even know existed (the International aisle comes in a close second). Recently, I was overjoyed to discover (on the top shelf of a Coles freezer) something I hadn’t seen before: frozen roti paratha. It turns out I wasn’t the first person on the team to recently find this little delight.
