Foods you must try

Famous food top 5

  1. Vegemite: is a thick, dark brown Australian food spread made from leftover brewers’ yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives.
  2. Aussie Meat Pies: In Australia and New Zealand, a meat pie is a hand-sized pie containing diced or minced meat and gravy, sometimes with onion, mushrooms, or cheese.
  3. Chicken Parmigiana: Chicken parmigiana (pollo alla parmigiana in Italian!) is known in Australia as Parm, Parma, or Parmi.
  4. Fish and Chips
  5. Chicken Schnitzel: A chicken schnitzel is a thing of beauty. With a golden, crisp crust enclosing tender, lean chicken, it is little wonder that it appears on menus around the world. Known as Katsu in Japan and cottaletta alla Milanese in Italy, here in Australia we call it a ‘schnitty’.

Famous Sweets

  1. Fairy Bread
  2. TimTam
  3. Anzac Biscuits: The Anzac biscuit is a sweet biscuit, popular in Australia and New Zealand, made using rolled oats, flour, sugar, butter, golden syrup, baking soda, boiling water, and desiccated coconut.
  4. Pavlova: Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert. Originating in either Australia or New Zealand in the early 20th century, it was named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. Taking the form of a cake-like circular block of baked meringue, pavlova has a crisp crust and soft, light inside. A soft marshmallow encased in a crisp but delicate meringue shell topped with whipped cream and your favourite assortment of fresh fruit.
  5. Lamingtons: the word can be shortened to lammo or lammie. The Australian Lamingtons are nothing more than vanilla sponge cake squares, dipped in chocolate sauce and coated in desiccated coconut.

Famous Drinks

  1. Flat White: A flat white is a coffee made by pouring steamed milk over a shot of espresso, resulting in a creamy beverage with a strong coffee flavour. Unlike other espresso-based coffee, the flat white is served in a small cup with a thin layer of milk foam on top called “microfoam”.
  2. Aussie has slangs for foods: Barbie=Barbeque, Maccas=McDonalds, Snag=Sausage,
