Ali, is there anything else to beef stew Australian style besides ladling it out atop some hotcakes? I had it that way in Perth and concluded the Ozzies had some wild, weird, and wonderful ways with pancakes.

With homemade dumplings-not Aussie style but pretty much required in my house

Hmmmm...I've never had beef stew over pancakes. I agree that sounds weird. When you say beef stew do you mean chunks of beef stewed with root veges like potatoes, carrots and turnips? If so, I usually serve that sort of thing (or some variation of it) in a bowl with crusty bread.

Around here that would be more of a waffles thing -- on the grounds that a crispy waffle would stand up to the ice cream melting on it better. It's the sort of thing we'd adorn with whipped cream and/or fruit filling vice syrup, though. Possibly because while we consume a great deal of many flavors of syrup from blueberry and strawberry, to dark Karo syrup, to various attempts at artificial maple flavor, genuine pure maple syrup, with butter, remains the ideal. It would be unfortunate to reduce its savor by chilling it with ice cream.

Yeah yummo

Icecream on waffles is good too.

Just no chicken and gravy.

Well, there you might as well do biscuits (American biscuits, Ozzies!).

(Come to think of it, I don't know what the Commonwealth term for something like a buttermilk biscuit is... or how to come up with a suitable Google entry to discover this.)

Urbane Guerrilla · 10-25-2007, 12:31 AM

Yep, it had all the veggies. Maybe a WA thing, then? I definitely remember a pancake under it, and I think there was another laid over the top and a little bit of stew decorating the center of that. I am sure there was more than one pancake per serving.

Aliantha · 10-25-2007, 01:53 AM

There's no such thing.

Sundae · 10-25-2007, 04:05 AM

The closest we get is a sort of unsweetened scone...

Aliantha · 10-25-2007, 04:20 AM

Yeah...dumplings or something like that.

DucksNuts · 10-25-2007, 07:19 AM

Damper is closer, I had Biscuits n Gravy whilst I was over there.

Plain scones

Aliantha · 10-25-2007, 05:42 PM

Hmmm...to me it doesn't sound very tempting...but i guess that's because I've never had it maybe.

There again, there's lots of stuff others eat that I don't think I'd care about anyway. See abalone. It's horrible stuff if you ask me, and yet people pay exorbitant amounts of money for it.
