What are some favorite foods of Australians?

Answer 1

Some foods considered uniquely Australian include:

• Anzac biscuits (cookies)
• Chiko Rolls (a sort of large spring roll)
• dim sims (Chinese-style meat dumpling)
• Jaffas (orange candy-coated chocolate balls)
• Lamingtons (cubes or squares of sponge cake coated in chocolate icing and dessicated (dried) coconut flakes
• macadamia nuts.
• pavlova (fruit- and cream-topped meringue)
• Tim-Tam (a brand of chocolate biscuit [cookie])
• Vegemite

There are no true regional food styles in Australia, apart from those specific to areas where a high proportion of immigrants from one country settled and produced a particular food or range of foods, but these food types are no longer restricted to their areas of origin, so what might have once been a favourite food of one district is now available all over the country.

There aren't many seasonal favorite foods: regional differences might occur in some fresh produce, but Australia is fortunate to have great fresh produce - fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood - available year-round and affordable to most. All kinds of breads and pastries are baked daily, and popular foods include meat pies, burgers, kebabs, fish and chips, pasta, pizza, tacos, foods from all over Asia, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle East and practically every other region on Earth: you name it, we eat it provided it's stopped wriggling.

Seafood is very popular; the fish is outstanding, and prawns (shrimps), bugs (a kind of slipper lobster), oysters, scallops and other shellfish are especially loved.

Perhaps some of the most popular - favorite - meal types served at home on a daily basis are steak or other roast meat, frequently with chips and vegetables or salads; all the usual versions of spaghetti Bolognese; stir fries; and all types of casserole. Anything cooked on a barbecue is welcomed happily.

In cafes, all the different styles of coffee are served and favorite snacks include Croissants, foccacia, panini and all the other varieties of sandwich, muffins, and so on.

International names such as McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut, and so on, are hugely popular in Australia. Pizza is the favorite home-delivered food; many Indian and other restaurants home-deliver.

Beer (popularly, lager) and wine are favorite drinks; Australia produces wonderful beers and wines, and also imports huge quantities of both. Spirits are also popular.

Australia has benefited immensely from a diverse culture, and foods either unknown to the original British immigrants or considered by them either inedible or outrageously exotic are now cooked at home all over Australia, served in busy restaurants, and ordered daily with enthusiasm, from takeaway businesses.

You truly wouldn't want to know what Australians considered their staple foods - and favorites - decades back. One example: grey, dried-out roasted meat, soggy potatoes, grey peas out of tins, all covered in artificial gravy, and very possibly with ketchup on the side, followed by stewed tinned fruit with supermarket custard...this was my first meal in this country, and it was enjoyed, sorry, served, on a farm! Somehow, the best of British cooking stayed back in Britain, while the worst examples were routinely served up by homesick immigrants and their descendants until as recently as the 1970s. Great eating-places and markets had always been around in areas with large populations of immigrants other than British, but weren't truly discovered by many Australians until the later years of the twentieth century.

Now, thanks to our wonderfully multicultural population we truly enjoy anything and everything that's been gifted to us by those who could see beyond grey meat and puddings.

One food in Australia is the honey ant which has a delicious honey sack, or so I've heard.

Vegemite is a very popular Australian spread, otherwise not much different to the rest of western civilization.

Answer 2

Some favorite Australian foods include meat pies, Vegemite on toast, Anzac biscuits, lamingtons, and barbecued sausages. Seafood such as prawns and fish are also popular due to Australia's coastal location.
