Traditional grub?
Hello all,
In England it's Roast beef and yorkshire pud, (or curry now), in France its Frogs legs and snails, Spain Paella, BUT what is Oz traditional grub. It can't just be BBQ can it? I heard once of a floater which i think is just pie in gravy.
Tell me what i have to look forward to and try, that might be different but i don't mean a bush tucker trial.

Don't actually live there, so I'm probally no expert, but visited the family a few times and gotta say they are hot on fresh seafood! I am not a sea food lover and was pretty disgusted with what turned up on some plates! There is this 'thing' called a 'bug'!!!

Yes!!!! That's what they were called!
Moreton Bay Bugs!!
We were at a RLS on the Gold Coast, there where about 12 of us, it was our farewell meal, the scenery was wonderful,
the company was fantastic, the wine was scrumptious And suddenly.... some overgrown bugs appeared on the plate I had to take a photo, I must find it and download it, watch this space!

Re: Traditional grub?
I know i said grub but i didn't literally mean grubs and bugs. lol
I've got to try some of them though as I'll try anything once and like lobster but Prefer crab. Are they a traditional Oz food though?

Re: Traditional grub?
Chicken parmagiana (sp?) is a flattened chicken breast, breadcrumbed, deep fried and then topped with italian tomato sauce and melted cheese.
A recent tv ad here for a local hotel had huge parmgianas on offer - the size of a dinner plate for $5. Revolting.
