5 Dishes That Make Australia The Champion Of Taste

While the country has adapted a global dietary approach, indigenous Australians who have occupied Australia for some 40,000 to 60,000 years, developed a unique hunter-gatherer diet, known as "bush tucker". It was drawn from regional Australian flora and fauna—such as the kangaroo.

The Australian variant of a burger includes stuffing a piece of beetroot on top of a pattie made with beef. Green chicken curry pie gives an Australian spin to Thai chicken green curry which is enclosed in a pie casing. Those in favour of seafood must try crab sticks, barramundi, prawn cocktail and seafood pizza. Pigs in a blanket, which is meat wrapped in meat, is a great accompaniment to any roast dinner. The macademia nut, which is native to Eastern Australia, is versatile and can be eaten raw or included in breads, cakes and even lamb roast. Look for Iced Vovo, a wheat-flour biscuit with a strip of pink fondant on either side of raspberry jam and sprinkled with coconut is a sweet, soft and crunchy mouthful. A staple at kids’ parties, fairy bread is sliced white bread cut into triangles. It is smeared with butter or margarine and covered in hundreds-and-thousands, which sticks to the bread for a multicolored treat.
