Just finished Mr. Inbetween and wow , the best show i ever watched.

Actually they can be lamb, pork or beef from recipes I've seen.

My brother, scan this whole comment thread. I've had people confidently tell me they're almost always lamb, then others saying they're always beef and finally others like yourself saying pork. And if you look around online you'll see recipes of all three. So I think at this point we can say they could contain any minced meat.

What Australians call "dimmies" are not dim sum, but definitely evolved from dim sum. We do also have authentic dim sum restaurants in Australia. And yeah, immigrants come over, adapt the food based on what's available, and everybody benefits. Food is literally the best argument for immigration lol.

I looked up from the menu of my local fish and chip store, it is A$13.50 if you just ask for basic fish and chips (US$9.66 and C$13.20). While this is not considered a inexpensive meal, it is not expensive either. This is for ordering and collecting at the shop. [Hunky Dory](https://www.hunkydory.com.au/) It is not uncommon for an Aussie guy to order a pack which includes a fillet of fish, a potato cake, a dim sim and chips. A$16.00 (US$11.44 C$15.64). A dimmy (fried or steamed) is A$2.20 (US$1.57 C$2.15). Australian prices are always quoted including all taxes and service charges, just incase you were wondering. For a comparison, I can't see a McDonalds menu for dine-in, but if I wanted a Big Mac Meal (burger, medium fries, medium coke) delivered by Uber Eats it would be A$17.10 (US$12.23 C$16.72) I hope this helps.

Okay, I think I understand the confusion, but nowhere in my comment do I say "a dim sum". I say "a dim sim", so below I have repeated my comment, but used the word "dimmy" instead of "dim sim" to make it easier for people to read. I guess that is why I have been downvoted as people's have not read it correctly. >A dimmy has very little, or nothing, to do with dim sum. A dimmy may have been influced by chinese cuisine, but that is about it. You don't get a dimmy at a chinese restaurant. Use some Google AI to find out all the difference, but essentially a dimmy is cabbage and minced meat, with some spices. wrapped in a dough and normally fried. But a steamed dimmy is not uncommon and will likely be eaten with soy sauce. It originated in Melbourne, Australia and is common in the Fish and Chip shops, where you might order a piece of fish, some chips and a dimmy or two. Again, the chinese dim sum meal is really nothing to do with a dimmy (dim sim). I hope this helped.

I said this under the other comment but I checked the ingredients on a bag of marathon dimmies in the freezer and those are beef. Could be one of those state based things where different fillings are used in the different states.

also why he's such a great writer for realistic dialog, he's not scriptwriting, he's just writing as people talked, he talked (and drove) for a living for over a decade as a taxi driver.

Clearly you are unfamiliar with Russell Coight’s All Aussie Adventures!

Ummm.... You ever heard of a show called Bluey?????

Farscape!!!

Australia solidly delivers, Upper Middle Bogan, Mr Inbetween, Fisk all dropped on UK Netflix or D+ & did well. Deadloch too. Rake was good for at least 3 or 4 seasons.
