I've even made up a jingle for this in my head but you'll just have to imagine it for yourself. Today we talk about FOOOOD! Everyone likes food and Australia isn't the most culturally diverse when it comes to food, we mostly eat other countries cuisines BUT here's a list of what you're more likely to find in Australia than other countries.

Starting at breakfast we have Weet-Bix! All Australian brekky of champs. It's actually really healthy if you're into that kind of thing but the best way to make it up is with boiling water, milk and brown sugar on top, de-lish!

Next, of course, is Vegemite on toast! Always eat like the first one if you're trying for the first time, with melted butter underneath, if you want to step up your Vegemite on toast game add cheese to the top and you'll be grinning.

Next brings us to lunch and to the humble meat pie or just pie if you're in Australia. They come in lots of flavours, my favourite is cheese and bacon, made of a mince and onion gravy filling they're a national treasure, usually topped with tomato sauce.

What's wrong with you people that don't put beetroot on burgers?! It's the bomb! This pictured is a maccas burger with the lot, some Aussies put pineapple on their burgers too but that's the weird ones.

For dinner we are having Kanga Bangas. They are kangaroo sausages, yes we call our sausages bangas (sounds like bangers) they're pretty yum cooked on the BBQ and covered in tomato sauce.

My favourite dinner ever is a good old roast lamb! Some people have been surprised we regularly eat lamb in Australia and I'm surprised other places don't, it's so delicious! Covered in gravy and mint jelly, lamb roast is the best food in the world!

Time for dessert bitches! This is a pavlova and it's gods gift to Australians. It's made of a meringue base, topped with whipped cream, passion fruit and whatever other fruit you'd like! Damn now I want a pav!

Last but not least is lamington! This is easy to make and I recommend you do if you haven't had it before, it is literally just a sponge cake, cut into squares then rolled in melted chocolate and desiccated coconut. So Australian and so yummy.

Quokka tax! If there's anything else you'd like to know about Australian food or anything else about Australia please message me and ask, I'll be making more of these posts if people are interested enough, it's always great to learn about other countries :)

Just to add to this post, I just bought a cheese and bacon pie. Making this made me hungry

Totally agree, didn't know what Maccas was until I was about 10, nothing like a real burger cooked on the barbie with Coon and BBQ sauce

My new boss is a kiwi. She introduced me to vegimite. I liked it and have had it a few times since. She puts loads of it on her toast

Kiwis have Marmite, Australia has Vegemite; are you sure it was Vegemite?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ya I'm sure. We have it in our fridge at work. She doesn't claim it to be from New Zealand or anything. Just introduced me to it

Deployed on a UN mission Australia was the donating food country. We called the cuts of meat "ass of kangaroo". Shit was tough and stringy.

Was probably mutton if it was tough and stringy

It's normal to eat lamb in Catalonia too. It's our main meat for bbqs.

What's mint jelly? A minty gravy? So your lamb tastes minty?

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yeah pretty much! It's just a gelatine mint spread, it goes really well with lamb :)

I spent two weeks in Oz and I only had Vegemite off this list, and kangaroo skewers, which were magical. Also lots of avocado and rocket

Smashed avo on toast is great too. You definitely should have tried pavlova!

Bangers and mash is English; every state in Aus calls them snags (I've lived in every state except Tassie).

Many adjectives came across my mind trying it, awesome was not one. We had a priest from AUS in our high school, dared us all to taste it
