  • What is traditional Aussie food? Is there such a thing as Australian cuisine? I was persistent and kept looking for particularly Australian foods and dishes, and in this video, I will try all of them.

      @@Nickwillfixit Have you tried Vegemite? I'm not sure if it's still available here in the UK - I think I tried it back in the 90s. It tastes a lot blander than Marmite and the colour doesn't help - it has a rather insipid light brown look.
      Of course it's just a by-product of brewing, which I assume happens around the world, so it's surprising other countries don't have their versions. Whatever, be sure to get Eli to taste Marmite to see if she loves it or hates it!

    It's hard to find an Australian aged 20 or older who is not allergic or intolerant to certain foods, or even worse - has some rare medical disorder.
    I think many grow up eating cakes or cereal and don't know what real food is. If you go to Coles or Woolworths, only foreigners are getting fresh vegetables. The Australians are normally in the canned food section or in the frozen food section, always eating some garbage with 0 nutritional value.

      Kangaroo, as portrayed on a comedy TV show once, is "Prime Australian Beef, a jump ahead of the rest !" That was based on a news story where Kangaroo meat had been being substituted for beef for awhile and no-one noticed. Obviously it was a breach of labelling laws and someone had to say "sorry" afterwards. I think in some states for awhile there, 'Roo meat wasn't allowed to be sold "for human consumption" but was allowed to be sold in supermarkets, if labelled as "pet food only". I recall supermarkets having 'roo meat in the fridge/freezer packaged up as Dog Food.

    I was born in Australia. I've lived here almost all my life, I never eat kangaroo meat nor emu or crocodile meat.
    I don't eat gluten free either.
    Australian food is as varied as the people here. We're from all over the world. And we eat whatever suits us & not just what is sold here.
    I'm in Sydney which is a very multicultural city.
    Yes, meat pie is something very Aussie. We love it. Try a reputable brand or home made one, & you'll love it.
    Oh yes, Lamingtons are goooood. Hot Cross buns, very good esp when they're warm & cut in the middle with a spread of butter.
    Tim Tams are very aussie too... And delicious; but not too much at once.
    Ahhh yes the 'sausage sizzle' from Bunnings... . They usually sell them on the outside of the front entrance of the store. You can usually smell it from afar. So nice.
    Melon skiing? Never seen it nor done it!
    Ahhh yes, burgers that include beetroot... & BBQ sauce. Yummy!
    Ahhh yes, the 'shapes' (crackers). Also quite Aussie!
    I've never heard of Bunya. Never eaten it either.
    The vine yards are so good! If you can go to any of them & experience the wines, they're great.
    Fish & chips is so good. NO... every fish of the 'fish n chips' is NOT always shark. Yeah, they use 'Flake' or 'Hake' (when it's shark), but lots use different other types of fish too.
    Potato cakes? (That's what Victorians call them). Here in Sydney they're called 'Potato Scallops'. We also have battered & fried pineapple & banana... Oooooh they're so good!
    Yes, Australia has a VERY multicultural cuisine. European, Middle Eastern, Lots of Asian-types, Latin American... everything!
    Glad you enjoyed your stay here.

    Forty years ago, most Australians didn't eat kangaroo meat. It was mainly used as pet food. Then I went to Europe and saw people eating kangaroo meat as a delicacy. Even had friends asking how to cook kangaroo meat to which I told them to feed it to their dogs. They were shocked as it was quite expensive. Nowadays, it's commonplace in Australian supermarkets but I still wouldn't eat it. I think it's more popular with the younger generation. By the way, I was shocked when I found out that Europeans ate horse and deer meat. It's probably the same thing.

    Tip on Vegemite for non Aussies. We don't actually put it on thick. We mostly do that as a prank (Not sorry, I'd do it again). Best way (for me) to eat it is on 'Turkish Bread' out of a toaster. Sourdough is also good. Use twice as much butter as normal and half as much Vegemite as you might expect. Just enough to colour the top. It should not be black! THEN it's great. Vegemite is packed full of B vitamins which are used to metabolize carbs so I would always eat Vegemite toast when training for sporting events for breakfast. I thought it as 'morning vitamins'.

    "Fish and Chips" is actually an even more popular Take-away food in New Zealand than in Australia. And whereas fish-and-chip shops can be hard to find in Australia, in NZ a suburb will likely have several F&C shops ! There are a range of choices for the fish used, with shark being just one option. Those choices vary around Australia, and NZ, depending on what fish is available.Australia has more Burger joints, mostly from international franchised chains, and Chicken Takeaways, from the likes of Red Rooster, and Australian franchised chain.

      @@peterwilliams2152 Indeed I do ! (explanation for overseas folks.... Although the Australian and New Zealand accents are "similar" and have much in common, including certain vocabulary, there are slight differences. The differences are most pronounced with some vowels, so Aussies often make fun of their Kiwi cousins, with words sounding like "Fush and Chups" , when an Australian hears them. We have maintained close contact and citizens without criminal records can move freely and work in either country. Many folks have relatives living on both side of The Tasman Sea (known as "the ditch") the 1,000miles or 1,600km of water separating both countries. In the 1800's, early European settlement, NZ was considered part of the Colony of New South Wales. By 1900/1901 the time Australia's independent colonies became one federated nation, NZ had already gained independence. NZ was offered a chance to become joined with the new nation of Australia back then, but chose to remain its own independent nation. However a "back door" exists in Australia's constitution to allow NZ (or other places, such as Papua New Guinea etc) to join and become part of Australia, at any future time (subject to a range of conditions and referendums etc being met). Australia and New Zealand often squabble over who invested Pavlova (a large meringue dessert) and who breeds the fastest Race Horses. During past wars, sometimes Kiwis served with Australian Military units as de-facto Australians.

    Aussies are right, they don’t actually have any specific dishes that are just Aussie. Even vegemite is British, they just call it marmite there. Fish and chips also very popular in both countries. There are some dishes that Aussies “borrowed” and that are very popular in Australia but not really in the rest of the world: chicken parm, pavlovas, lamingtons come to mind.
    About the sausage sizzle (it’s pretty much a hotdog btw, a sausage in a bun with some onion and sauces) it’s not the only Aussie tradition, I noticed that people like to go to Bunnings to browse the store and have a chat on weekends just as an outing, even if they don’t always buy something.😊 I’ve never seen that anywhere else, I hope they still do it post-lockdowns, it’s a very Aussie thing.

    Colac is dairy country and is famous for Bulla ice cream and other cream products. I constantly enjoy Bulla Crunch ice cream poles (on a stick) which come in various flavours like double chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, honeycomb, caramel and coffee, they are coated with a mix of chocolate and biscuit crumbs (hence the double chocolate). Colac also has a nice lake and it is close to vulcano country where in some places the ground is made of scoria (red coloured honeycombed rocks) used for footpaths and garden decoration and walls, it was also crushed fine and used on tennis court surfaces.

    Interesting Eli about Woolworths. In the USA it was a variety store or "5 and Dime" that started in 1879. The chain of Woolworths went out of business in 1997. I don't think they were connected with the stores in Australia. 15:37

      Correct. Woolworths in Australia are wholly Australian. I guess back then USA did not patent the name like companies do today. It also started as a cheap store here with nothing more than 10 cents(although it was 1 shilling back then here before decimal currency came in in 1966) and groceries and fruit/vegies etc were a tiny part of the business. Now they are the largest supermarket chain and have a small range of household goods compared to its beginnings.
