Australian specialties
It's hard to talk about national Australian cuisine, given that modern traditions were established only a couple of hundred years ago. And Aboriginal customs have been erased in places. Nevertheless Australia still follows the special rule - everything must be original.
Traditional food in Australia
You'll find the most bland things in Australia, like hot dogs and pizza. And something so unusual it's almost a wonder. There are sharks and crocodiles, crabs and oysters, possums and kangaroos. Ostrich meat is not even considered a delicacy, just the local version of chicken. Asian cuisine has been growing in popularity in recent years, and British traditional cuisine has an influence on the country as well. Out of this wild ooze grows something completely original, Australian.
The original national dishes of Australia have preserved the recipes from the times of the locals. The very nature of the country, its flora and fauna, allowed to create such original menus. Here are some dishes of the southern mainland, both quite unusual and more familiar to us:
Australian dishes
Kangaroo - despite the fact that the kangaroo is considered the national symbol of the country, it is eaten. And quite successfully. Any dish, from roasts to meat soups, can include this ingredient.
Chicken Melbourne - Chicken is fried in olive oil, tender meat served in a pink sauce.
Australian meat pie is a national dish that is considered both simple, common and special.
