is a public holiday in Australia to celebrate the men that fought for the country. During the war, the wives baked these delicious ANZAC biscuits to send off to their men at war. They were cheap to make and could stay fresh throughout long boat journeys. They are made with coconut, golden syrup and oats\u2026 yum!<\/span><\/p>\n(Never call these Anzac Cookies as that will upset Aussies more than you can imagine!)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n6. Chicken Parma (AKA Chicken Parmigiana)<\/b><\/h3>\n
Ok, I know this doesn\u2019t sound particularly Australian, but this is one of the most common foods you\u2019ll find in an Australian pub. Loads of pubs have a parma night where you can grab a decent priced chicken parma with a beer. A chicken parma is a chicken schnitzel (chicken covered in flour, egg and then breadcrumbed), topped with a tasty tomato sauce with melted cheese on top. It\u2019s like Australia meets Italy on a plate!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n7. Pavlova<\/b><\/h3>\n
The Aussies and the Kiwis have long fought over the sovereignty of Russel Crowe, Crowded House and the mighty Pavlova \u2013 a meringue cake base topped with whipped cream and fruit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nRegardless of its origin, the pavlova is absolutely delicious! You are most likely able to find a Pavlova in most cake shops or bakeries. You can also buy them pre-made from most major supermarket chains (look in the bread or frozen dessert section). Hot Tip: Make friends with an Aussie girl or guy and get invited to their next family BBQ, and taste Nanna\u2019s Pav, it\u2019ll blow your socks off! <\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n8. Witchetty G<\/b>rub<\/b><\/h3>\n
If you really want to experience some proper Aussie Bush Tucker \u2013 then a Witchetty Grub is the way to go. These little fellas taste a little like chicken and contain just as much protein as an entire piece of steak! The first Australian indigenous community have eaten these for years and the nutritional benefits may just help you to overcome the texture.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n9. BBQ\u2019s<\/b><\/h3>\n
When you think of Australia you think of surfing, nice weather, kangaroos and the barbecue. \u201cThrow another shrimp on the barbie\u201d is a quote often said even though Australians call them prawns and not shrimps! In fact, many Aussies dislike this phrase and claim that it\u2019s just another Australian stereotype.<\/span><\/p>\nA typical Aussie barbecue is with sausages, burgers, steak, fresh seafood, bread and tomato or barbecue sauce, they sometimes include salad but it\u2019s mainly about the meat and fish (and of course a few stubbies \u2013 that\u2019s beer to the non-Australians).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAustralians will literally have a barbeque anywhere, not just at home. Local councils provide barbeques for the general public to use at popular tourist spots like beaches. (Just clean up after yourself!) When you\u2019re staying with Mojosurf or you meet a few locals, you\u2019re sure to have at least one Barbe a week!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
10. Kangaroo<\/b><\/h3>\n
While visitors usually take pictures of kangaroos bouncing around. Aussies actually eat Kanagroo meat. You\u2019ll see them packed on supermarket shelves and on restaurant menus. Kangaroo is lean red meat, it\u2019s healthy and you can prepare it in many ways \u2013 steaks, burgers, sausages, and much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nAussies also eat Emu, yes Emu – in case you don\u2019t already know the Kangaroo and the Emu are on the Aussie coat of arms, I kid you not, google it! Could it be that the Aussies are the only ones in the World to actually eat their coat of arms?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n11. Lamingtons<\/b><\/h3>\n
If you like coconut you\u2019ll love this classic Aussie dessert \u2013 The Lamington.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nMade up of a deliciously, delicate soft, sponge cake, and topped with decadent chocolate topping and immersed in coconut flakes, the ole\u2019 Lamington has been a fixture on the dessert table for generations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
