Does anyone know what traditional Australian food is?

wombat42

McDonald's. or any other American junk food you would think so these days. What about ' Damper' its an Australian style of bread developed in colonial times by stockmen in the bush. Made out of Flour , water and salt.
Also what about Vegemite.

Friend

Iv'e heard the - 'smoothie' was invented there???

Smoothie's are quite popular over here now, not as milky though.

Oooh you are a silly wombat...but we loves ya

What about kangaroo, Ostrich, Croc, shark [aka flake]

Friend

Obviously these meats are indigenous. What about stuff that is created?

....p.s. by the way your signature suggests you dont like the Brits, is this true?

Not so sure they have anything Aussie as it's so multi cultural here. Had great kebabs but they're Turkish/Greek, had great fish n chups but they're UK, had fabulous Pizza but that's Italian.....so not sure what is Australian to be honest Maybe a true blue Aussie on here can tell you

Re my signature: No.....it's not true. I'm British myself

It's an Oscar Wilde quote. If you know anything about Oscar Wilde it's that he usually rebelled against the "norm". If he didn't believe in something he would say so. He didn't believe in pacifying people just to be accepted

I imagine he quoted the British as in those days people didn't travel much [although he did].

....do you think a multi-cultural society is good for Australia?...or do you think it will wreck the place ?

I mean I went to Sydney a few years ago, and although it claims to be multi-cultural like Britain and many other places claim. The reality was different ethnic groups kept to themsleves in their own enclaves and hence it's not really multi-cultural. We have the same problem here in Britain, Asians in one part of the country, Whites in another, Blacks in another, etc...its like several different countries and few people mix except for business.

Never mind tellin us "they have a great fusion food in Aus".....that's chef speak that is

Whaddya mean?...what's "great fusion food" mean?

Pie floaties?

Friend

that's good!

mr mover

Thats the pie floater, a meat pie face down in a bowl of Mushy peas, with a large dollop of tomato sauce/ketchup on top. Looks like crap but tastes great......... mm

Phoenixuk2oz

Yep. IMHO multi cultural is good for all societies. Variety is the spice of life

Reality is that different societies feel more at ease in their own groups.

Maybe we should spend more time learning respect for each others differences rather than trying to force integration

It's more important that we respect each others values than concentrate on bloody colour. We all bleed red

Anyways....that's off topic....so stop being naughty

Phoenixuk2oz

They're bloody Yorkshire

It's just pie n peas

Yum....
