Yeah, KFC buckets & Barrels.

We all thought that Kentucky Chicken was so great when it first came to Australia. I seem to remember they had a really good fruit salad in the drink fridge, where they have the coleslaw & now 'bean salad'.

Where have all of the real Milk Bars gone ? I understand this was an Aussie invention & the first proper one was in Bondi in the 30s. It was a marketing thing to promote milk, probably by Dairy Farmers or someone similar. These days the term milk bar just means a corner store or deli, nothing like the wall to wall stainless steel cafes where the guys behind the counter wore white uniforms & hats & made the best milkshakes & sundaes.

Who remembers when a delicatessen was called a "ham & beef" shop ? AFAIK the term delicatessen came to Australia with the European migrants.
