Australian Cuisine

Australian Cuisine

Australia is a relatively new country with many influences from different cultures. This is reflected in the types of food which are considered traditional, popular Australian foods.

Some popular Australian foods are:

• Meat pies
• Vegemite
• Fish and chips
• Anzac Biscuits
• Pavlova

Many of the foods popular in Australia stem from our British heritage, with roast dinners and steaks remaining very popular. There is also a wide selection of foods from all over the world available throughout Australia, which help shape a multi-cultural viewpoint of Australian foods.

Coffee is a very big part of Australian life, with many cafés all across the country serving the Australian created 'flat white', which is a latte without the foam. Again, the emergence of coffee culture is due to strong Italian and Greek migration into Australia in the 20th Century.

Australians love to BBQ, and a modern Australian event with family in friends (especially in the warmer months) includes a BBQ, fresh seafood (prawns), an ice cold beer and some backyard cricket!
