Many Australians have just grown up with Vegemite so they just like the taste from always knowing it. It is reminiscent of their childhood, and its excessively salty taste is appealing to many.

Only the macadamia nut is native to Australia. Other nuts grown in Australia include peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pecan nuts, chestnuts, hazelnuts - in fact, all nuts except for Brazil nuts can grown in Australia.

Aside from creating employment Vegemite has done little to help Australian society other then manufacture a sandwich spread and flavors that is used in food preparation. For some time Vegemite promoted itself as a health food being a source of vitamin B1, B2 and Niacin failing to mention the extremely high salt content. Australians have a feeling of pride in this unique spread, which is enjoyed by nearly all Aussie kids.

People like vegemite because it tastes good, I love vegemite and I live in Australia, it is also the fact that many children are brought up on vegemite so people get used to the taste. Vegemite is also healthy aswell and has a very unique taste, very salty however.

The conkerberry, or conkleberry, is also known as anwekety by the Anmatyerre people north of Alice Springs.

It is a sweet black berry that grows on the plant (Carissa lanceolata ) for a few weeks of the year, ripening from green to purple then black. The fruit looks very similar to a plum, which is why it is often referred to in English by the Anmatyerre people as bush plum. The Anmatyerre people collect the berries when ripe and store them dry, soaking them in water again before eating.

The plant of the conkerberry is a tangled, spiny shrub that can grow up to 2m high. Fragrant white flowers bloom after rain. The plant also has medicinal properties; the orange inner bark from the roots can be soaked in water and the resultant solution can be used as a medicinal wash. This is particularly favored for skin and eye conditions. The thorns on the shrub can be used to cure warts. The wood of the stem is a bright orange color and favored by Australian woodworkers for it's bright color, soft grain and ease of carving. The conkerberry bush has proved to be both a hardy and versatile Australian plant.

I have tasted this at Tennant Creek. It is similar to a Mulberry in taste!

Australia's native nut tree, the macadamia, was first described by botanist John Macadam.

this was my wedding's, all are different. first, cocktail hour, drinks, finger foods like cheese & fruit, stuffed mushrooms, franks in blankets, apps, etc. usually buffet style and waiters walking around with trays (my personal favorite part of the wedding meal, so much variety) then everyone sits at tables with bread and salad, then either a pasta or a fruit cup comes out, depending on the season or preference (we chose a fruit cup, pasta seemed too filling right before a meal) then lemon sorbet to "cleanse the pallate" (that's Italian.) my second favorite. then, main course, usually a choice between steak, fish, chicken, or veggies, then cake, coffee, and dessert. The champagne toasts could be at any time during the meal. We had ours during the salad. Hope this was helpful!
