Another Revolutionary Food Thread?

[The Hitman]

Just for you Carlos.

I had milo today. "What's so special about that?" I hear you BigFootyites exclaim. Well, here's my tale...

I filled a big glass three quarter full with milo. Then I added milk almost to the top. But the secret? Cottees banana topping! I added a bit of that stuff, then with my extra long teaspoon, I lifted some of the mio to the top, while the milk and topping filtered through the heap of brown, choclatey gold.

Result? The usual milo overload, with an extra banana tang.

Trust me on this one. It's a winner.

holy sh*t... milo with a touch of milk.. haha..

does the banana tang reduce the effect of a milo cough?

i prefer quik

Maybe you should bring back the "milo" thread of last year

 

[you_idiot]

Sounds like a flavoured milkshake.

I've got to try that... but what if I added a scoop of vanilla ice cream?

Gotta try it, in a blender....

Cheers,
William

I've tried that - a few years ago now, but it's dangerous. Worse than red cordial - I was hypo for hours.

Believe me, Mooster, we haven't even begun to scratch the surface.

Gotta ask you this-- is there a store in your part of KC where you can buy Australian souveniers and products? Reason I ask, is because in between my trips over here, there was a market in mid-town San Jose that kept me stocked in vegemite, meat pies, sausage rolls, dim sims, Cherry Ripes, and the like, until I came back out here to prepare for the wedding.

Oh! And pavlova! Can't forget about the pavlova!! And Lamingtons.... I could go on and on...

Cheers,
William

[Sly77]

What is a Milo cough anyway? I'm obviously an experienced campaigner also - b/c I have no idea of it???

oh man, thanks to that site, i almost lost my dinner !!! (animal lovers, do not click on that link!!)

i assure u, that isnt the 'milo' we are talking about !!!

MILO (R) is a delicious chocolate flavored energy food drink similar to Ovaltine. The product was developed in Australia in 1934 by the Austrlian Division of Nestle Foods.

Sick site Mooster. Animal libs, definatelt do not go on that link. I must express my deepest disappointment that you don't know what Milo is. Mooster, you seriously need to get your white pasty American arse to Australia.

I'm off to have my choc-banana milo now.

Banana topping? Hmmm, interesting approach.

I certainly acknowledge the flair, the creativity, the forsite, the risk (i mean, if you're fair dinkum about your Milo consumption, you can probably only get a dozen or so glasses out of every tin {based on 15 or so spoons per glass}... Hence there isn't a huge margain for error involved here if you ruin the taste of a glass, thats if its actually possible with the nirvana that is Milo!?) and tip my hat.

Personally i'm not the biggest fan of banana flavourings, but i'm sure a bit of improv is not discouraged by our resident gastronomic envelope pusher, The Hitman.

I'd probably just go chocolate as i'm fairly partial to the brown gold if the mood is right. I might even consider mixing it with chocolate flavoured BigM, just to really get the ball spinning nicely through the air so to speak.

And Milo cough? Like Hitman said, "pffft!" Ameteurs!

I'll have you know sir that I am still working dilligently on my righteous tan project. Went on a float recently and got some tragic uneven stripes here and there. Also overdid it one day and suffered a bit of skin peel on my left forearm. Devastating set-back. Some of that has since been corrected through more dedicated tanning. When I do visit Australia, you can see the perfect tan (if not the arse) and I'll be kicking yours at air hockey.

I worked on farms growing up. What we called 'milo' was a course junk grain we fed to pigs. I couldn't imagine anyone spooning it up with milk and banana. Thanks to Coxon's link, I now know what you were making reference to. Sounds good for what it's worth.

And yes, those with overdeveloped sensibilities should stay away from the link I posted. I still think it's funny in context with the thread though. Peace,

 

[The Hitman]

I just had one. Awesome.

Carlos, I haven't experimented with anything other than banana, and honestly, I wasn't a big banana fan either. But I think only banana will work. You need the clash of tastes of chocolate and banana, and I personally don't think chocolate on chocolate would work.

However, I am the pusher of the envelope, and any experimentation is encouraged.

I'll have a dip soon. There are question marks, but I'll go anything that doesnt have a pulse so we'll see how we go. But if it ruins my milo, there will be repurcussions.

Surely you jest?! Chocolate on chocolate wouldnt work?!?!?!?!?!

Blasphemer! Your penance? Go to your local cake shop, order 2 triple choc muffins. Next stop supermarket. Purchase one bottle of Cadburies chocolate topping (Cotties will be accepted). Go via the dairy. By the chocolate BigM. Bring them home, take out the tallest glass you can find. Heap, and i meeeeaaaan heap one dozen table spoons, thats right, i said TABLE spoons of milo into aforementioned tall glass. You know the drill from there.

With each mouth full of milo, you will take a bite of the muffin. If for any reason there is muffin left after you've finished the milo drink, mix another drink!

You WILL be sick. Have no doubt. But you will develop the necessary immunity, the threshold to realise in the future the folly of your original statement pertaining to chocolate on chocolate being unworkable.

Now away with you.

NOTHING makes me sick. Except fruit eaters, that is.

I must apologise, I do acknowledge the choc on choc phenomenon exists, and exists with enormous success. But milo and chocolate - could it explode!?

Hmmm, I acknowledge it is a risk, but one which can bear the sweetest of gifts. But thinking about it, what an explosion it could produce!! I can think of only one other "eruption" which would make me happier, but we'll save that for another thread....

 

[Spidergirl~RiCkChiCk]

well i am sick again with flu and coz i went to the footy sat nite my chest was killin so Darky made me a hot milo in one of those maaaaaaassive beer mugs and i had never had milo with sugar in it b4, didn't occur to me that you could put sugar in for some reason. anyway was very nice, can't say the same thing for the ridiculous chocolate drink that my mother bought home...cadbury flakes or something has anyone had it? It is so **** it's dark chocolate (blurgh) and doesn't mix, just sticks to the bottom of the cup like diarhoea (lol spelling) on a toilet bowl
