v Fish ‘n’ Chips (By the Beach)
The sun is out, the water’s crisp and you’re hungry. What to go
for?
Australia has some of the best seafood in the world
and that means you’re almost guaranteed fresh fish. Fish and chips consist of
battered fish, commonly cod or haddock and served with deep-fried hot chips,
seasoned with chicken salt, served with salt and lemon, wrapped in yesterday’s
newspaper or white wrapping.
v Barbecued Sausages
Nothing
is more Australian than getting friends or family together for a barbecue. And
at the heart of any good barbie is a selection of good Australian sausages --
from the traditional pork or beef, to those flavoured with herbs and spices
from around the world.
v
Meet Pies
You can't tell anyone you're Australian unless you've eaten a
meat pie. It's on the menu at every house party, sporting venue and morning
after a big night. An Australian meat pie is a hand-sized pie containing
largely diced or minced meat and gravy, sometimes with onion, mushrooms, and/or
cheese. The meat in the pie can be chicken, beef or pork. It can also be
kangaroo meat. Meat pies are often eaten with tomato sauce.
v Lamingtons
The lamington is often
referred to as the “National Cake of Australia.” This square-shaped sponge cake
is coated in a layer of chocolate icing and desiccated coconut. It sometimes
comes in two halves with a layer of cream or jam in the middle. Found commonly
throughout cafes as a perfect accompaniment to tea and coffee, it's also often
baked for fundraisers.
v
Salt and Pepper Calamari
Quick and easy to make:
the squid or calamari is covered in salt-and-pepper batter, and then
deep-fried.
This pub staple is often
served as a snack with a side salad and dipped in sweet chili sauce.
v Hamburger with beetroot
You can eat burgers all over the
world, but nothing is more Australian than slinging a piece of beetroot on top
a patty made with Aussie beef. That soft bun, all-beef patty and cheese is
simply not properly done without the finishing touch of beetroot.
