You may have heard of some of the iconic Aussie cuisines, but have you tried them all? Some of them you will discover on board a Mojosurf tour! My personal fav the almighty Vegemite (pronounced Veggiemight), a delicacy only the finest of palettes enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Vegemite<\/b><\/h3>\n

Vegemite is the most common one that \u2018foreigners\u2019 discover, and more often than not, hate! No matter how many people tell you it\u2019s disgusting you should try it at least once. It\u2019s an acquired taste\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

So what is Vegemite? Vegemite is a dark brown paste made from various vegetables, yeast extract and spice additives. The most popular way to eat it is on toast with butter. Australian’s also eat it with avocado, melted cheese or tomato. I thought it would taste like syrup, but it tastes very salty and not sweet at all. Best way to eat it is with loads of butter and a thin spread of vegemite.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Fairy Bread<\/b><\/h3>\n

Now this one is really strange and you probably won\u2019t come across it unless you happen to find yourself at a kids party. Fairy Bread is simply white bread with butter sprinkled with hundreds and thousands!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Tim Tams!<\/b><\/h3>\n

Any backpacker who has traveled through Australia will have tried Australias favourite chocolate biscuit\u2026 the Tim Tam. I ate my first Tim Tam after a <\/span>Mojosurf lesson in Byron Bay<\/span><\/a> and I loved it! If you eat one, it\u2019s hard not to eat a second or third. Warning!! It\u2019s got hidden addictive powers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From one of the Mojosurf Crew I heard that the best way to eat on is the famous Tim Tam slam: bite the diagonal corners off the Tim Tam and take a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Use the Tim Tam as a straw and suck the drink through the biscuit. Then before it gets too soggy, and falls into your drink, you eat the soft, gooey (warmness!) #chocolateheavan even better after a winter surf lesson!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
