Tasty Traditional Australian Food Recipes

By Brenda Stewart


There is no doubt, Australians are the first to say that they have some of the best food. However, one has to debate as to whether all of the food is in fact theirs. For example, the Pavlova may belong to the New Zealanders. With that being said, much this food that is made is incredibly tasty. Traditional Australian food recipes are worth looking into because there is a large variety.

Anyone traveling to Australia, can't miss out on the magic meat pies. These stand out from anything else on the menu. If you are surprised to find anything else here, you definitely won't be amazed to find the traditional meat pie here. Australians have been making these for generations. They have traditional recipes as well as more modern recipes to go by.

The Anzac biscuit is famous in these parts, providing one with a snack of oats and coconut with a little golden syrup. This biscuit dates back to World war one when groups of the Anzac soldiers were fighting. Wives of the soldiers would make these biscuits. It was a good snack to have in your pocket because it can last a long time and you can be sure that it is going to fill you up.

Wheat Bix is another favourite of the average Aussie and always has been. It doesn't matter how old you are, Aussies will boast that Wheat Bix is unique to them because it is smaller and sweeter and this sets it above the rest, making it quite average in the rest of the world. It is definitely a favourite to have for breakfast. But it can also make a great snack.

The damper has been around since the beginning of time, starting off as an inexpensive food for workers and people without money. It could be easily made, but now it has been turned into a bread which is made to be more milky. Back in the day, the bread was baked on the fire, but things have advanced since those days.

The prawn cocktail, which was so famous back in the 1970's, was actually created by the Australians. Few people realize this. These are basically prawns which have been shelled in a glass with a mayonnaise and tomato dressing. This took off by storm. Parts of Australia are very sophisticated. Sydney is probably well known for this and one can wine and dine here until the early hours of the morning.

Another example of a tasty treat are lamington which is now the national cake, eaten by everyone in restaurants, cafes and bistros. The vanilla ice is another cake which is more of a delicate slice. Some people will claim that this is a French invention. However, although the pastry is from France originally, Australians say that they are responsible for the vanilla filling inside this delicious pastry.

Chicken parmigiana can be found in all of the pubs in the country. It is a dish that began in Italy, but has been modernized as it moved down to Australia. It is basically a chicken schnitzel with a sauce made up of tomato and cheese. There may be ham or prosciutto with the schnitzel as well. This is usually served with a beer and the two go very well together.
