      That's because most People in Australia are from a British Bloodline and its ingrained within them to like fish fingers and baked beans 😂

    I was a very fussy eater but one of my favourites was always the fresh pasta and cheese sauce you can buy from supermarkets with mushrooms and Quorn sausages (fake meat) chopped up in it and even more cheese grated on top. My mum always made it as a treat when I was poorly to tempt me into eating and make me feel better (I was a very sick kid). To this day it still works.
