Does the way you say 'France' rhyme with 'pants' or 'aunts'? How the Australian accent is changing

How you says words ain’t important.
What matters if you says parma and potato cake or if you’re wrong.
or if you're wrong
Imagine having this level of self confidence. It's a potato scallop ya nonce eejit
Jesus fuck mate, that’s really uncalled for.
@Marsupial @jagungal That escalated quickly 😳
I don’t appreciate being called a child molestor.
Fuck, sorry mate. Didn't realise that's what it meant. I've only heard it used as an old equivalent for "idiot". Only wanted to have some banter.
That’s dunce, ya dunce!
Edit: or nong. Don’t make a portmanteau of them.
All good.
@Marsupial @jagungal now I'm curious if this is a misunderstanding about the regional differences of the word "nonce".
I googled it and didn’t find another usage of it.
Unless they meant dunce?
Parma or parmi is irrelevant because it's a trash food for people with no taste.
Potato cake sounds more like an alternative name for potato bake than it does for potato scallop.
Ain’t nothing wrong with comfort food.
Not everything needs to be a bougie deconstructed h2o dish.
The problem isn't that it's low class (most of the best food is, IMO). The problem is that it tastes terrible.
I've never been at a restaurant with someone who ordered the parmi and not heard them complain that it's "too dry". No, that's just what parmi is like. It has to be smothered in sauce to even be edible.
So make it at home. For me the chicken is merely a vessel to carry the sauce and crispy cheese.
@Marsupial @Zagorath
Sounds to me like you just haven't had a good one?
If not, I'd strongly recommend trying the highest-rated parmas here: https://parma.com.au/
Because the truth is that there's a world of difference between a great Parma and a mediocre one.
A good quality schnitzel should need no topping. If it's dry, that's half the problem right there. And yes, such schnitzels do exist — just ask the Germans and the Austrians.
Ideally, the pub or restaurant menu should offer a pasta with Napoli sauce or margherita pizza. Why? Because the sauce should be flavourful enough to stand on its own.
Now, take that schnitty that stands on its own, add a quality Napoli that carries a dish on its own, with a premium ham and cheese, and you end up with something that's greater than the sum of its parts.
I’m impressed there’s a whole site dedicated to this . I’ll have to try one of these out!
The only incorrect implementation of Australian-style Chicken Parmigiana is one where the chicken is not schnitzel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schnitzel
Since every Pub and Restaurant serves some sort of Parmigiana (even the Vegan ones -Eggplant and Vegan Cheese) are acceptable substitutes), it is a good way to determine if the food is any good. Of course since Eggplant and Vegan Cheese always tastes terrible, Vegan Restaurants and Pubs are proof to this rule.
If you order a Parma at a dodgy pub and it is terrible, you can be happy that you didn’t order anything more complicated.
A whole, un-tenderised chicken breast, covered in a spattering of breadcrumbs, a slice of Devon, pizza sauce and some tasty cheese is not a Parmigiana, even though it is often served as one.
That said, the best tasting Parma I have ever had was at a local industrial estate café. It was a deep-fried schnitzel with a slice of sandwich leg-ham, left-over Bolognese (with the meaty bits and onion strained out) and shredded pizza-blend, on a bed of takeaway-shop chips and a salad consisting of fist-fulls of random vegetables from the salad bar.
Blasphemy.
Maaaate, think about what you're saying before you insult an entire country.
Potato Scallop refers to either a Potato Scallopine or Hassalback Potatoes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaloppine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasselback_potatoes
It has nothing to with a deep-fried, battered slice of root vegetable, sprinkled with offensive amounts of chicken salt.
Not if you call it “Lightly Panko crumbed oven baked Delatite Chicken Breast with smoked ham, Napoli sauce & Mozzerella cheese with your choice of two sides.”
Sorry for the quality of the photo, it was taken in a “lightly fried beer and flour battered, thinly sliced potato”
