This forgotten supibrot was on the work camera.

From the side, this looks like a run of the mill 5lb bucket,

but inside reveals a butter sandwich, 2 slices of pizza snuggled together like a pair of old friends and a yogurt.

International Supibrot!

From somewhere in the Australian outback comes this guest supibrot! Caveat: this guest blogger is a tad dramatic.

"How ya’ goin’ mate?!

Yours truly has been working on Ozzie vocab. And with another 36 hours traveling to get here, I had plenty of time to practice. Side note: V Australia is a cool airline. First thing you see when you get on the plane is a full bar? That’s what I’m talkin’ about.

Anyway, today’s report is on Tim Tams. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Follow along with me:

First, start with a chock-a-block full package of Tim Tams.

Next, bite the corners off one Tim Tam.

Brew some coffee! Or tea. Nah, coffee is the way to go. Important – see lessons learned below for some common mistakes.

Now it gets awesome. Use the Tim Tam like a straw – put one corner in the coffee, and suck on the other end. The coffee comes up through the Tim Tam and melts the chocolate and wafer together. Cue heaven.

Repeat 5-50 times, depending on how many Tim Tams are available.

Lessons learned (the hard way): 1) Keep a serviette (napkin!) handy. Things will get messy. 2) Don’t drink and dunk. Once the coffee level gets low, things will get REALLY messy.

3) Make sure the coffee is cool enough to drink. Third degree burns on your tongue will ruin the experience. 4) Buy more than one package at a time. They go quickly.

Bonus pic: Meat pies! The tomato sauce is clutch.

Done and dusted, over and out."

And that is how you eat a tim tam - any questions???

A base meat of whiting filet. Zucchini. A burnt pizza crust. French toast rolled into an arch. Now that the subject is American - expect to see more arched food items.

Lime green lidded tupperware. 1 noodle left inside. 1 apple cored of its degenerative parts. 1/2 a sandwich.


Outside of the tupperware, noodles spread out, sharing a corner of the plate with one egg over easy.


In another part of the cafe - soup did NOT thaw out well.


And we learned, if you rub aluminum foil on the underside of the table, the top gets all shiny and bbq sauce sometimes squirts out.

Sandwich 1 Before. Lebanon bologna, pickles and ricotta on two slices of homemade bread.

Sandwich 1 After: "the messiest sandwich I've ever eaten"

Sandwich? 2.

What is going on here? One side kind of looks like french toast.

The other side looks just like a slice of regular bread.

I see, let's turn this into an arch and...uh, hmmm, errr

Greatest Hits: Jan 10th - Feb 07, 2011

Supi 1: January 10, 2011. Bratwurst and a red pepper. Flavor enhanced with cranberry horseradish sauce. A butter sandwich, homemade yogurt and a glass of water act as sides.


Supi 2: January 11, 2010. 2 bratwursts, mushrooms?, a bucket of mustard?, some more mustard, a slice of bread, homemade yogurt, napkins and a glass of water! Whew!

FYI: White bratwurst sausage was created in Munich by a young butcher, Sepp Moser in the late 1800s. As the story goes, he was finishing up his sausage making while patrons were sitting in the little cafe next to his shop, getting impatient for the morning meal. He had used up all his normal sausage casings, and instead used a thin variety to hold the freshly ground meat. Knowing they would probably break apart if he fried them as usual, he threw them into a pot of just boiled water to cook them. His disgruntled guests were pleasantly surprised at the new sausage and thus the white bratwurst was born.

Supi 3: January 25, 2011. Macaroni and cheese, hashbrowns, probably a couple hotdogs, and some homemade yogurt. A mysterious image has formed on a slice of homemade bread. What could have caused this to mire up a perfectly good lunch? All we know for sure is that it is not a coffee ring. Only the subject has the key to unlock this mystery, but he's not talking...

Non Supi 1: An all american lunch we found someone else eating in the cafeteria.

Supi 4: January 31, 2011. Why does the subject always transport homemade bread in store bought bread bags? A nutrituous meal of two cans of whiting filets. These made the supi blog back in 2010. You can still buy them at ALDI.

Here's an expiration the subject won't have trouble with. 2014! And check out this nutritional powerhouse, 2 cans, at 2 servings per can is a whopping 44g of protein and 3,120 gm of sodium.

Non Supi 2: The jar on the left expired in 2008. Which means it was probably bought in 2003. Subject #2 claimed that it was still good and there was no way he was going to throw out perfectly good tabasco. Encouraged to bring it into the cafeteria for a side-by-side comparison with fresh tabasco it failed both blind taste tests and blind smell tests. Go through your refrigerators and clear out this kind of stuff. Life's too short.

Supi 5: February 07, 2011. Spaghetti and hotdogs. Gone.
