Do you know that Aussie fries taste much better than the ones back home? If I could tapow for you guys I would! I'm not kidding, the first time we went to Hungry Jacks, Perth's equivalent of Burger King, we took one bite of our fries and went,
"Eh? Different ah?"
"Yah yah! It's a different kinda of salty!"
"Why ah?"
"Is it their potatoes?"
"Aussie-grown potatoes so different meh?"
And the mystery wore on, for about two weeks. Then the answer came to light.
Chicken salt.
I shit you not, it's as simple as that. Chicken salt.
My friend was so determined chicken salt was the solution she bought one from Coles and viola! We have tasty fries! Mm-mmmmm, life's good. :)
UPDATE:
Anyhow, pk's comments kinda spawned a google and guess what? Apparently chicken salt is as Australian as Bec's vegemite and strangely enough, does not contain any inch of chicken flavouring or seasoning. See wiki's entry for (a little bit) more information.

pk: chicken salt is flavoured salt made of herbs and spices and is sold across Australia. It's standard to be asked if u want chicken salt with your fish & chips.
hmmm.. i not too sure. i heard from my bf that it's much nicer than chicken salt. he studied in aust before.
I will be on a look out for Chicken Salt when I do groceries the next time.

Maybe you could bring home some chicken salt and we could all make our fries tastier on the next 7ners meeting (with you) at Mac or any other fast-food restaurant.
