"Alright its finally here!" Velvet cheered
"What did Vel?" Fox asked
"Just a food package for my folks back home" Velvet said "And there's enough for you guys to try as well"
"What kind of food?" Coco asked
"The kind only found in Australis!" Velvet chuckled
"Oh boy" Coco grimaced
"HEY We have some nice food down under!" Velvet said a bit peeved
"Like what?" Fox asked
"I'll show just leave the dorm while I get ready"
Half an hour later the rest of CFVY walked back into their dorm where Velvet had several types of Australis food on the coffee table, and four cups of hot chocolate waiting for them
"Smells delicious" Yatsuhashi the team's baker said sitting down with Coco joining him as Fox sat opposite them and looked at the food
"shall we?" Velvet asked
"Sure, where do start?" Coco asked before Yatsuhashi picked up a cube like cake covered in coconut
"Good choice Yatsu, that's a Lamington, sponge cake covered in chocolate and coconut" Velvet said as the others took one as well and savoured the taste
"Yummy, I think I'm falling in love" Coco said as Fox picked up some kind of nut.
"Ah Macadamias or Bush nuts" Velvet said taking some for herself and popping them in her mouth.
"What is this?" Fox asked placing some black spread on a piece of bread thickly before Velvet could stop him
"Wait Fox that's...Vegemite" Velvet winced as Fox gagged on it
"What is that stuff?" Fox coughed before Velvet handed him a cup of hot chocolate
"Yeast extract, a by-product of Beer production" Velvet said smiling "It takes a while to get use to it"
"Thanks for the warning" Fox said picking up a chocolate "Please tell me this is chocolate"
"Yep, that's a Tim-Tam" Velvet said "A chocolate biscuit covered in chocolate, plus you can do this" she grabbed a Tim tam and bit opposing corners off and stuck in her drink before taking a big gulp of it which afterwards she quickly shoved the treat in her mouth.
"What was that?" Coco asked wanting to try it for herself.
"A Tim-Tam Slammer, you basically bite opposing corners off and then getting a cup of hot chocolate you suck the drink through the Tim-Tam melt the chocolate on the inside making it gooey"
"Gooey?" Yatsuhasi asked
"Gooey" Velvet said as Coco picked up a pastry
"A meat pie right?" Coco asked taking a bite of it, getting a tasty mouthful of gravy and beef mince. Then she grabbed the Tomato sauce and squirted some on the pie before taking a big bite of it, adding the tangy Tomato Sauce with the beef and gravy was mind-blowing. Fox than grabbed a biscuit
"Anzac biscuits, they made from Australis troops who went to the war, they wouldn't spoil on the ships so the troops had something nice to eat" Velvet explained as Fox took a bite
"Not bad" Fox said before he saw some sausages before gulping the mouthful of biscuits
"Spotted the snags huh?" Velvet asked as Fox took one after finishing his biscuit and devoured the sausage before going for some more while Coco took a piece of bread with sprinkles on it.
Sprinkled Bread?" Coco asked
"Close, its fairy bread" Velvet corrected her
"And these?" Fox asked waving a sausage around
"Those are Kanga Snags" Velvet said
"Kanga Snags?" Fox asked before it clicked "Oh no, I just ate Skippy!"
"Ah Fox, Skippy was a puppet" Velvet said "But yes those are Kangaroo flavoured sausages"
"Not bad" Fox said
"Come on Yats, mung on a bit of this" Velvet said passing Yatsuhashi a circle of pink meat
"What is it?" Yatsuhashi said hesitating
"In the east they call it Devon, down south it's called Fritz, but all I know is it's something made from Pork" Velvet replied getting a small biscuit with fondant and raspberry jam
"An Iced VoVo, I remember my uncle bringing me some of these when I was young" Coco sighed. For the rest of the nigh the team laughed and flinched tasting soem of teh local cuisine from their friend's hoem region.
