Flying to Melbourne this morning, boy are my arms going to be tired.

Going to see my favourite comedian who was originally not coming to Brisbane... But then all of about 48 hours after we committed to tickets and accommodation in Melbourne announced Brisbane dates too. Funny joke, this is why he's my favourite comedian.

Jokes on him though - I'm still going to go to Melbourne and get me a parmi, and then I'm going to see him in Brisbane too. Now who's laughing? 😎

a parmi

Get thee to the outer darkness, you heathen. In this town it's a 'parma' and collectively we will all die on this hill.

The real State Of Origin is Parmi versus Parma.

I mean obviously you guys are wrong, but it's neat to argue about.

I'm sorry, I don't speak the local dialect. It's a, how you say, chicken breast with crumbs? Or as the French say - le parmi. And chips on top. Always on top, or the side. Never under.

You will learn or go hungry. A schnitzel with tomato sauce, ham and grilled cheese on top, chips on the side and an excuse of a salad - this is the glory of a parma.

I hate it when they put it on top of the chips, like wth

[–] Baku 4 points 4 months ago

I'd go a step further and say like wtaf

[–] lodion 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Parmi yes. Chips go under though.

Last Parma I had was at The Standard in Fitzroy and it sucked. Try the Union Club or The Napier, also in Fitzroy.
