| 2s | when you think about Australian food |
|---|---|
| 4s | what comes to |
| 6s | mind for many of us Aussies it's a mix |
| 8s | of flavors a blend of traditions and a |
| 11s | bit of that laidback no worries attitude |
| 15s | that seeps into everything we do |
| 17s | including our cooking it's funny isn't |
| 19s | it how food can tell you so much about a |
| 22s | place and its |
| 24s | people so let's take a leisurely stroll |
| 27s | through the culinary landscape of |
| 28s | Australia and Ponder why unlike Italy |
| 31s | with its pasta or Germany with its |
| 33s | sausages we don't really have a national |
| 36s | dish but rather a small sport of tastes |
| 39s | that somehow Define |
| 42s | us first off the meat pie ah the humble |
| 47s | meat pie it's Aussie as tucked into a |
| 51s | flaky pastry is a hearty filling often |
| 54s | beef simmering and Rich |
| 57s | gravy the meat Pie's Origins though |
| 59s | aren't purely |
| 61s | Australian it's like we've taken a leaf |
| 63s | out of the British cookbook and added |
| 66s | our own spin to |
| 67s | it the beauty of the meat pie lies in |
| 70s | its Simplicity and its ability to bring |
| 72s | people together whether at a footy match |
| 75s | or a family |
| 77s | gathering then there's vegim might this |
| 81s | salty yeast extract might buffle |
| 84s | Outsiders but it's a staple in Aussie |
| 86s | pantries viim might's Inception in the |
| 89s | 1920s was Australia's answer to Marite a |
| 93s | British |
| 93s | favorite it's an acquired taste for sure |
| 97s | but it's ours sparingly spread on toast |
| 100s | with a slab of |
| 102s | butter it's the taste of childhood for |
| 104s | many of us being happy little fites as |
| 106s | bright as bright can be speaking of |
| 109s | breakfast you can't forget about smashed |
| 112s | AO and |
| 113s | toast it's become synonymous with |
| 116s | Australian branches AO toast might seem |
| 119s | like a millennial fad |
| 120s | but it's really a testament to our love |
| 123s | for fresh simple |
| 124s | ingredients and while avocados aren't |
| 127s | native to Australia we've embraced them |
| 131s | wholeheartedly maybe it's the climate or |
| 133s | our proximity to the ocean that makes |
| 135s | this dish Feel So Right in a aussy cafe |
| 139s | under the Bright Morning |
| 141s | Sun our culinary scene isn't just about |
| 144s | what we've adopted and adapted it's also |
| 146s | about what we've |
| 148s | created take the lamington for instance |
| 151s | this sponge cake coated in chocolate and |
| 154s | rolled in desiccated coconut is a sweet |
| 156s | treat that's uniquely Australian its |
| 159s | Origins are a bit of a mystery shrouded |
| 162s | in Tales of accidental invention or |
| 164s | culinary experiments but isn't that just |
| 167s | like us a bit of a mystery a touch of |
| 170s | innovation and a whole lot of aigo |
| 174s | attitude but back to that question why |
| 176s | don't we have national dishes like other |
| 179s | countries |
| 180s | perhaps it's because Australia as a |
| 182s | Young Nation is a tapestry of cultures |
| 186s | our food reflects the waves of |
| 187s | immigration that have shaped our society |
| 190s | you'll find influences from the British |
| 192s | and Irish of the early colonial days the |
| 195s | Mediterranean flavors brought by Greek |
| 198s | and Italian migrants and more recently |
| 201s | the aromatic spices of Asian |
| 204s | Cuisines our approach to food is a bit |
| 207s | like our approach to life it's relaxed |
| 209s | inclusive and diverse we don't box |
| 212s | ourselves into a single |
| 214s | identity instead we celebrate the |
| 217s | variety it's in the weekend barbecues |
| 220s | where you might find traditional |
| 221s | sausages alongside marinated skewers |
| 224s | influenced by our Southeast Asian |
| 226s | neighbors it's in the fish and chips by |
| 228s | the beach and not to our British |
| 230s | Heritage but made distinctly Australian |
| 233s | with the freshest local catch in some |
| 236s | ways not having a national dish is |
| 238s | liberating it it means we can |
| 241s | continuously evolve our Cuisine |
| 243s | experiment with flavors and embrace new |
| 246s | influences our food scene is dynamic |
| 249s | reflective of a Nation that's constantly |
| 251s | changing growing and learning from a |
| 254s | multitude of cultures that call |
| 255s | Australia home this culinary diversity |
| 259s | is also a reflection of our Landscapes |
| 262s | from the tropical abundance of |
| 263s | Queensland The Vineyards of South |
| 265s | Australia to the rugged coastlines of |
| 268s | Western Australia each region brings |
| 270s | something unique to the table it's as if |
| 273s | the land itself is inviting us to taste |
| 275s | and explore in a world that's often |
| 278s | rushing to Define and categorize maybe |
| 282s | there's something wonderfully rebellious |
| 284s | in our refusal to be pinned down |
| 287s | culinarily in the end Australian food is |
| 291s | about connection to the land to our |
| 293s | diverse Heritage and to each other and |
| 296s | really isn't that what the best food is |
| 298s | all about |
