Food in Australia

Whilst Australians may be famous for barbeques and bush tucker, most Australians in fact have very multi cultural tastes. Well known for being open to trying anything new, with many Australians having a keen taste for Asian cuisine as well as Greek and Italian.

Multi Cultural cuisine has been very popular in Australia for years, with only recently Australians are starting to go back to their roots. Australian cuisine is starting to become popular again, with a bit of a modern spin on it though. The typical Aussie meal used to consist of meat and three vegetables, a roast lamb with roasted vegetables was always the most popular meal, along with meat pies and vegemite sandwiches.

As for bush tucker this consisted of Kangaroo Meat, Root Vegetables, Fish and other Seafood. It is these foods that are becoming a popular Modern Australian cuisine. With Australian Restaurants now opening up for both locals and tourists to try these dishes. New meats are also being tried, Crocodile meat is becoming a huge hit in many restaurants.

Australians are very supportive of their local farmers, with most restaurants, markets and shops using and selling local produce. Australians are lucky to have dairy farmers, vineyards, market gardens, olive groves, orchards, fisheries and meat farmers right on their doorstep.

Australia has come a long way since the days of damper, meat pies and vegemite. Although these have never been forgotten and are still popular today.
