Put beetroot on anything, that immediately makes it an Aussie classic.

Fry an egg on any kind of pizza, that makes it australian.

Cheers,

In Shephards Bush in London I saw an Aussie pie shop. Bloody migrants. ;)

Rolos the round sweet with caramel inside in a pack? Yeah I've spotted them recently around Brissy - think it may have been in Woolies.

Roo and Emu etc just became trendy in the 80's or 90's when some chefs started whacking it on the menu.

Hot Damper is a true Aussie delight, as good as or better than Maori bread (depends on who's making it I guess).

And while we have vegemite in NZ, historically it belongs to Australia, and is miles better than marmite.

What about king prawns wombat? A great delicacy I never had or seen elsewhere I think (though they must be around outside of Australia I spose, I'm not sure)

Rolos are great! And Im sure I've seen/bought them here. They have been available in NZ for decades.

If you like mild chewy mints, I recommend "Allens Cool Mints" They are scrummy!

My gran used to cook them in NZ, and she had never been out of NZ. Pretty sure rissoles are a "universal" thing. Could be wrong, but definitely had them in NZ.
