Gimme Your Stuff.™
Everyone go make friends with a Texan IMMEDIATELY!A new friend of ours from texas requested we send her a tin of Aussie Milo, and in exchange, she'll send some tex-mex for our enjoyment. (She didn't say she was going to send 15 kilos of tex-mex, but that's another story).
When we received our much awaited package, it was like all our non-religious specific holiday celebrations had come at once. We wondered how we could share this joy with the world...
So, in conjunction with Thomp, and Lori Witzel I'd like to introduce... Gimme Your Stuff.™ A cultural exchange blog. A conduit for many an international cuisine can change hands. A place where you can trade a newspaper from South Africa, or a CD from Finland. A place where Thom and I take no responsibility for anything anyone else does. A place where we are Changing the world with other people's stuff.™
PS. I have plentiful aussie foodstuffs for the swapping! Milo, Vegemite and Anzac Bikkies all round... plus TimTams, the king of all aussie foods - trust me people, you want these!!!

Wwwwwooooooo-hhhooooooo!!!
Am loving The Milo!
Am engaged in negotiations with The Vegemite, and am sure I will Love It Too!
And it seems like some of my fave picks have found a great home (I can hear the "yum yum yum" and tostada crunchy noises all the way across the oceans.)
Wow, a world - wide exchange a thon!
what can I get for a dead NYC rat?
Yeah-- with Tex-Mex taken, I'm left with only to share. Might make a good trade for the rat, though.
Nice one!
I heard a new Chili Peppers song this morning and I swear the lyrics went, "I'm waiting for my Milo/Poo-stick, poo-stick".
Now, the poo-stick in question could refer to a spoon after a bit of a swish through some thick Milo but it is only specualtion until the album comes out.

BTW Mack, no Ad Monkey deserves to read about your testicles twenty times before 9am.
"Waiting for my Milo" is the new "waiting for the man". Milo junkies ahoy!
Ya oi think i heard that line in the Chili Peppers Song too.....
No wait, I didn't.
A can trade a kangaroo that's been hit by a 4WD for a rat...
OOooohh, road kill swap! Yummy!
Hey, Mack Simpson - Adverb, please chime in on the Tex-Mex. One lone woman can't provision all who need it. You can never have too much Tex-Mex floating around the world.
Rikki, enhanced my Gimme post, but how do I get the original Chatoyance link replaced with the New improved Gimme link?
I'm so glad I'm a part of this, and have to do nothing toward it! I'm sure customs officers all over the world would have NO ISSUE with ppl posting road kill. As long as it doesn't have a bomb in it... Roadkill bomb, now ther is an idea for a party trick. With testicle shrapnel... COOOOOOLLL
I am very sad. I didn't get the Milo, and I said I would do whatever it took. And in return, you would have gotten Cajun goodies, which even Lori will tell you kick ass on Tex Mex. Oh well.
On second thought, the worst tasting thing I've ever put in my mouth is Marmite, which I understand is a close cousin to Vegemite. So please don't send me any of that. :-)
Hurting in Dallas.
P.S. Thanks for explaining Puce to me. :-)
So, Willie -- are you going to link so people CAN get awesome Cajun stuff (not sure it kicks Tex-Mex's ass but it is a close thing)?
Go.
Now.
Post.
Link.
Swap.
Mmm-mmm.
Here in NW NJ, there's no good food. Seriously. I’ll have to move first.
and its about damn time.
also, good work on the gummi face transplant. did someone say pulitzer or some such?
Those are some real goodies y'all got there.
Have y'all scored any deals on cheap S&H?
Thom, for customs officers, only a ticking donkey is the only thing that really raises any concerns these days.
Just to re-explain 'puce'. It's pronounced pyoo-kay. Like puke. It's what Lord Bellington of Sheffield exclaimed when he saw the colour of the new britches his tailor had presented him with and thus coined the term for the brand new hue. Although, at the time the English were at war with the French and for a period, to use the new term, puce, was punishable by death. But that could be pure legend or the powers that be just wanted an excuse for what they did to Lord Bellington.
A Nobel Prize for contributions to the Gummi sciences is in order.
Lies.
GO VEGEMITE YEYYYYY! :)
Wut else can I send from Aus to many others here...hmmm...a good ol' Aussie lamb pie? YUMMMM!
Thanks Rikki, this is a great place for great exchanges :)
Keshi.
Hi David, sorry no deals, it's a bit hard for round the international world and all :)
Thanks for stopping by my site. I'll be joing the Gimme site this weekend...I'm creating the list before I do. I'm pretty sure the vegemite cereal box was a spoof, (I liked the idea of it!).
I dig the Pure Attack and will be adding it to my favorites.
Strewth!!! Thanks for the Tim Tam offer Rikki-Tikki-Tavi! I am most certainly interested in a goods swap. (Especially since most of my Oz mates are lazy bastards that barely ever send me anything! ;) )
I'm heading off on holiday in less than a fortnight and right now hecticism has broken out all over my, ahem, life. When I get back at the end of May I will join in on the fun!!! I will try and talk some of my overseas friends to pitch in too. They consist of Italians, Frenchies, Canucks, Afrikaners, Swiss, Germans, Oz-Heads, Kiwis, Limeys (Poms to you lot ;) ), everyone else I forgot to mention and plus any Seppies I can find over here on my side of the tainted orb.
**End transmission**
Win a bottle of Mexico's finest hot sauce-- no exchange necessary. Just listen to music and take your best guess (given the context).

I've done that with friends. Hey Rikki, since you're in Aussie, y not by an Indomie?
That's some noodles??
yup. imported from Indonesia, best instant noodles in the world!
hi rikki, thanks for the invite, so what stuff would you want from my Banana Republic (ughhh) not banana I hope, well the latest health craze here is Virgin Coconut Oil, can be taken both as food and cosmetics, and I would exchange that with the best virgin, cold pressed olive oil, well from Australia perhaps a pack of Muesli. So let's start the exchange when can I send you my stuff - I will tell my friends about this stuff, your stuff, hehehe... good wishes, pete
I would soo not be adverse to this Milo (or the Tim Tams!)
Would you like to check out my link, see if there's anything you want to swap?
Hi Laura,
Thanks for the offer, but I can't exchange at the moment (I'm saving my money to move house in a couple of weeks!!) After that i'll be up and running again :) In the meantime, there are a couple more aussies on the list to try!
Thanks!!!
(Ps I can't write comments on your site, I just get errors! Maybe you should consider writing an email address on your post so people can contact you...)
:)
On the 16th you left a comment on my blog (the gimme your stuff page) askin me to let you know if i had added myself to the list... and i have haha. your right there are tons of people on the sight and so many from the US that are all trying to trade with other countries rather than within the US, which i think would be just as fun... oh well.
