Foodies delight as Red Rooster offers unique twist on an Aussie classic
And now, the humble jam doughnut has become the latest food to be reincarnated and sold to the public by fast food chain Red Rooster, in their new sweet treat dessert drop.
Following the success of the store's Vanilla Slice Bites and Cheesecake Fries comes the new Jam Donut Bites.
Crispy on the outside thanks to a vanilla crumb coating, and soft and fluffy on the inside, the bites are bursting with warm raspberry jam.
And foodies are dubbing them the 'ultimate nostalgic treat' — or perfect for whenever that sweet craving strikes.
Right now, you can get your hands on the Jam Donut bites in a six or 10 pack at selected trial Red Rooster restaurants only.
For a full list of the stores available, see the list below.
Those who have tried them recommend pairing them with Red Rooster's signature fried chicken or their classic Rippa Roll, for the perfect combination of sweet and savoury.
The Jam Donut Bites come hot off the heels of the viral Cheesecake Fries — which foodies called the 'ultimate sweet treat'.
'These are next level,' one person wrote about the fries.
'So yum,' another added.

Aussies horrified at ‘memory foam bread' TikTok trend
A new social media trend involving squishing down bread only to watch it bounce back into its original form has left Aussies in disbelief. Videos posted on TikTok have revealed the disturbing truth behind bread in the US, which reforms itself 'like memory foam' due to excessive additives. In one TikTok video, which has more than three million views, an American woman shares a clip of her folding a slice of bread into the palm of her hand to test the theory that the bread will expand into its original form. 'There it goes, it literally starts unfolding, that is crazy to me,' she says as the bread unravels. The videos caught the attention of Aussies, who have flooded the videos with comments; claiming the bread in the US must be different from the bread in Australia.

'In Australia, when you spread Nutella on the slice you rip a hole in it,' wrote one. 'In Australia, when you put the bread in the shopping bag at the checkout, it always goes on top because once it's squished, it's forever squished,' said another. The now-viral trend has also sparked backlash from Aussie influencers who tested the bread-squishing trend themselves, demonstrating that Australian bread would stay squashed when pressed. A US influencer has shown the disturbing reality of bread reforming after being squished. Credit: TikTok One Aussie shared a video of her squishing a white slice of bread to see if it 'bounces back.' 'Hey America . . . I notice you've got some very different bread to what the rest of the world has, or at least Australia,' she says. After pressing the slice of bread into a ball she drops it on the counter in front of her to show it's still squished. 'That's normal bread,' she states at the end of the video.

The debate has grown into a international one; European's have been chiming in on the argument, with one influencer showing that even shop bought Italian sliced bread unravels. 'As you can see this high quality European Italian bread also acts like memory foam,' she explains while watching a slice of bread bounce back. Commenters on the video disputed that the bread was from Italy and made claims about bread from other countries. 'That's not Italian bread!!!!' wrote one. 'African bread never ever bounces back,' said another. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. Aside from the videos, the differentiating factor that may divide American sliced bread from other countries is what it's composed of. American bread is typically made using five food additives: Azodicarbonamide (whitening and dough conditioner), Potassium bromate and iodate (rising agents), BHA and BHT (preservatives). Australia and many other countries have imposed strict bans on Azodicarbonamide, Potassium bromate and iodate, which have been linked to cancer and asthma – but they are still allowed to be used in US food products. However, wherever it's made, packaged mass-produced sliced bread have been found to be an ultra processed food by academics. 'UPF has a long, formal scientific definition, but it can be boiled down to this: if it's wrapped in plastic and has at least one ingredient that you wouldn't usually find in a standard home kitchen, it's UPF,' says Dr Chris van Tulleken in his book.

‘One of our most honest records': How middle age is helping the Hilltop Hoods
No.2. Just south of INXS. It's 22 years since The Nosebleed Section made headlines about Aussie hip-hop coming of age. But one week before their ninth album – drumroll for the most anticipated local release of the year – that Hottest 100 Australian Songs result felt pretty good to the Hilltop Hoods. 'It's a little bit surreal to be up there with some of the songs that shaped my childhood, artists that I consider the biggest things ever,' says Dan Smith, aka Pressure, who began rhyming and recording with school friend Matt Lambert (Suffa) in the early '90s. Barry Francis (DJ Debris) joined them in '99. 'To be put in the same category with them' – Crowded House, Cold Chisel and Paul Kelly also hit the Top 10 in last week's Triple J poll – 'is an absolute honour,' he says. 'But I don't know what it is about that song. Time and place? Nostalgia? If I knew the answer, then we could make every song a Nosebleed Section.' He's joking. Moving forward, he knows, is the real test. So to Fall from the Light, dropping Friday, six years after the Adelaide trio's last album, The Great Expanse. That was the sixth No.1 for the group that smashed the outlying margins of hip-hop to occupy the top league of the Australian mainstream. Their arena tour of next February/March is nearly sold out. Expectations are high. Loading So what's it like? Older. Not as in tired – though Rage Against the Fatigue is a brilliant snapshot of socially induced insomnia – but in the emotionally literate sense. It's the sound of three guys deep into their 40s negotiating fame, grief, gratitude, depression, family, home and the road, with their usual linguistic precision and a more refined toolkit. 'I like to think it's one of our most honest records,' says Pressure. 'Hip-hop is so literal. We've matured in our songwriting and just as human beings as well. We're very comfortable in our own skin. I think that's one of the things that's helped us connect to our listeners over the years.'
