Well go to France or Italy to feel alive (Germany at a pinch) I found a chip packet at a phone booth in France,* a train ran late to .
*Things that of cause never happen in Switzerland
My grandpa used to clean phone booths at 5 Francs a booth in retirement and the Telcom company rang him to complain he hadn't "done it right" 
(I was their )
It' funny actually I Trawl You Tube eg "Swiss Trains"
(go on) and the usual commentary from people from countries like the UK remark meanwhile in the UK ......
Which leaves me asking what the hell does the UK spend it taxes revenues on (they tax much higher than the Swiss)

You can't get them anywhere else!
What is that?
Oatcakes, a bit like pancakes made with oatmeal as well as flour. The filling is cheese and onion (not chips, aussiebloke), the most common filling it cheese and is often a base for other fillings like sausage or bacon.
They are yummy and only found in Staffordshire.

Thanks for clarifying, I thought it might be a new age chip sandwich it looks like one of those flat bread/mountain rap things, and the melted cheese looks suspiciously like a chip.
So if I haven't totally put you off coming to Australia you simply must try the chip sandwich it must be done proper. 
Find the greasiest takeaway, * where you will be served by a morbidly obese middle aged women with boils on her arms, she will ask if you want your industrial (white always white) bread buttered with marg or butter (nether is best) she'll dunk the snap frozen fry (never fresh) into the unmentionables ie the oil that hasn't been changed in 12 years ( which contains cockroach, rat droppings, wild pigeon and zebra finch (it escaped from the pet shop across the road) 
It's all good it helps inmpart that aussie takeway authentic flavour .
She'll unceremoniously shake the chip bucket (she's been in the job to long) leaving 1/2 the oil clinging to the chip , whick is A ok as it lubes the bread (thats why you should pass on the spread) she'll than ask if you want gravy, tomatoe or BBQ suace best to pass on the gravy it's makes the bread go soggy since your in OZ best to go for the authentic experience and go for the BBQ.
What would I recommend as a beverage to compliment this delicacy ? Solo for the men (because you like to live the life of a soda commercial) ie to the Xtreme and a diet coke for the ladies as "their "watching their weight"
Bon Appetit!

^ Well its was more for the song. your entitled to prompt Scotland yourself now.
mmm...I was over there in North Wales back in October, as I has family from Canada come over to visit Briton and Ireland for family history research. To be honest I what to forget about that trip as my Canadian family created a big disagreement due to there xenophobic attitudes and an ancient transatlantic feud that they started, that's been going on since the 60s.
Lets just say this that if that feud didn't happen in the first place, I myself would of been an nationalised Canadian citizen.

You don't want to visit the medway Towns lol is awful now, but some history scattered about which is nice. Some very old buildings in Rochester. I believe Rochester was technically on the census before Bethlehem, as it happens, but anyway just avoid the people.
28 May 2012, 6:26 pm
Street meat I've never heard of that one but yes, your right thats the best part of travelling, I like it eat stodge just the way the locals like it,
28 May 2012, 6:30 pm
My friends and I call street food vendors street meat. usually referring to the hot dog carts in downtown Toronto. You can't go to Toronto and not get street meat.
Yeah, I like to try food from the local places as well.
28 May 2012, 6:32 pm
I have, but in a very different and dodgier context.
