Being an English-speaking nation, with its roots going back to British settlement, Australians naturally call this celebration Christmas.

Because they are Australian

To Australians, the outback epitomises the free, open, country life. There seem to be no restrictions to the continuous wide, open spaces, and when you are in the outback there's a good chance that, unless you're on the major highways, you can travel for hours without meeting another car. Australia is a vast country, with huge tracts of unoccupied, dry land, which is the outback. It is its geography which makes it "the outback". However, the cities, towns and beaches also comprise a large proportion of Australia.

All countries. The rumor was that the US FDA banned Vegemite because it contains folic acid, which according to the rumor was only allowed to be found in breads and cereals. I note the message doesn't say spinach was also banned by the FDA under the same theory. Spinach is full of the stuff. Anyway, the FDA says they never banned Vegemite. (If they would have banned it, it wouldn't have been on grounds of "folate supplementation" because the folic acid in Vegemite gets there naturally, it would have been because it's made from industrial waste--the layer of used yeast at the bottom of a lager aging vat.

Kraft Vegemite on Toast is the national dish of Australia. It gives Australians their powers.

Vegemite is a dark brown savoury food paste made from concentrated yeast extract, used mainly as a spread on sandwiches, toast and cracker biscuits. Rich in Vitamin B, it is promoted as a healthful food for growing kids, but Australian adults like it too. Because of its strong, salty taste, it is often not appreciated by people from the USA.

Roast lamb; meat pies. The pavlova is a traditional Australian dessert consisting of a base made of a meringue crust topped with whipped cream and fresh fruits such as kiwi fruit, passionfruit and strawberries.

Please see the "Related Link" (below the stupid advertisements) for a history of the development of Vegemite in Australia and its continuing significance to Australians. Because it is a taste that is unique to Australia and as such Australians take pride in it.

Aside from the original foods eaten by the Aboriginals of Australia all foods have been introduced as the result of migration. there is a huge diversity in the different foods of the world available in Australia because there is such a diversity of people from different country and cultures there.

Australia's favorite food are kangaroo's served with a side of kola beans

Vegemite was made to meet a need that opened up due to World War I.

Vegemite was first developed in 1922 by food technologist Dr Cyril P Callister when his employer, the Australian Fred Walker Company, had him develop a spread from brewer's yeast after World War I had disrupted the supply of imported yeast spreads.

When Australia was first settled, the most common foods were beef and mutton, which is the cut of an older sheep (definitely not lamb). Mutton stew was one of the most common foods. Because Australia was "built on the sheep's back", lamb soon became one of the more common foods, traditionally served as a Sunday roast.

In modern times, the trend has moved away from lamb, with beef and pork being more popular, and chicken the most popular of all. However, sales of lamb for Australia Day celebrations still remain high, so people do tend to associate lamb with Australia.

The food most considered "traditional" in Australia now is anything barbequed - steak, sausages, chops, roasts, etc.

It's only recommended to the Australian's ideas so that they either love it or hate it. This is a survey for Australian people (person who was born in Australia) not the cultural people.

Most Australians eat a lot of beef and chicken. Large parts of Australia are dedicated to grazing cattle and grass fed beef is cheap and available. Most of Australia's sheep are for wool production but lamb is also readily available; mutton is not but it is sometimes sold as lamb. Turkey is more expensive, but if you can afford it it is widely available. Pork is mostly more expensive than beef, but we eat that too. Kangaroo meat is very cheap and available. Kangaroos are considered pests in some areas. Because we irrigate areas that were never able to support large grazing animals before white settlement, kangaroo populations have exploded. The roos now eat everything and sometimes breed and eat until they are all in danger of starving. Large culls are required to keep them from a horrible death but the bodies are not left to rot - they are used for pet food, human consumption and leather. Kangaroo meat is very tender, low in fat and it tastes good too, but some Australians don't like to eat it because they like kangaroos too much.

Fish is also eaten, mainly saltwater fish but some freshwater fish as well. Barramundi is a favourite angling fish and tastes very good. Mackeral, bream and red emperor are other popular eating fish.

Specialty meats such as venison (deer) and game birds are available but you can't just buy them in the average supermarket. They are usually hard to find and very expensive. Hunting is permitted in some parts of Australia, but a lot of the wildlife is protected and the gun laws are very strict. You are mostly allowed to catch and eat your own fish, but limits apply to prevent overfishing.

Vegemite sells over 22 million jars every year.
