Recipes like this drive me bonkers. "1 packet" --how large? Give me a weight, a volume, anything! Sizes change, either from shrinkflation or just multiple product sizes being available.
@Argie Yeah, it's just so generic. Is it a sugar-cookie? Toll-House (The Cookie that Conquered the World)? Treacle? I wanted more detail......for science.
When hiking long distance paths in England we found that Snickers bars had actually more calories per gram. And they were named Marathon in Britain so that checked out. (TIL the name was changed to Snickers in 1990 but they changed it back in 2020.)
@m3moellering @Xedrik Cultural context/assumed knowledge. It'd generally be one of the plain sweet tea biscuits like Arnotts Marie or Milk Arrowroot, or Scotch Finger if you're fancy.
Some biscuits like the sadly discontinued Arnotts Lattice seemingly had no other purpose other than to be made into custard slice.
@snarkout Arnotts Marie are part of the grand international family of Marie biscuits descended from the original Peek Freans, so the closest US equivalent is usually Maria biscuits (Goya/Iberia) in the Latino aisle. But yeah, graham crackers and Lorna Doones are in the ballpark. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
@foist yeah it's not a bad place, pretty because of all the gold found there back in the day, but the longer you stay... normal for most places I imagine. Did you get to Bendigo as well? I loved Bendigo but again only visited a few times
