Some Of The Greatest Traditional Australian Food Recipes

By Richard Powell


Australians are very proud of what they have invented and claimed to be their in terms of the culinary world. There are some traditional Australian food recipes which everyone knows about. There are also those which not many people would have heard about. Of course, there will also be those which Australians will be drawn to time and time again, but when you offer the same thing to a tourist, they will probably look in the other direction.

There are a lot of gourmet chefs who have risen to the top in Sydney, in particular. There are all sorts of cuisines here, but traditional Australian recipes are not to be missed out on. You will find that they are styled in more of a gourmet approach. Many people come to the city just to find out more about the food and to pair the fabulous wine with this.

Apart from this gourmet experience, you can't miss out on the more rustic approach which is said to be the real Australia. When you set foot on the red sand, you will know that you are in the outback which is no longer a gourmet experience, but something totally difference, and unique at the same time. This is something that you can't miss out on before you head home.

Australians have always been good at baking and cooking homemade treats and eats. These are fantastic as snacks and ideal for taking on long walks on the outback. Many people spend the whole day out in the heat and need sustenance which can come in the form of pastry or bread or cookies.

There are many snacks which are made beforehand and are perfect for taking out into the bush. Anzac biscuits are an example of this. They are to commemorate the time when soldiers fought in World War I. The bush tracker is made out of pastry and keeps the energy levels up. This is quite a nutty delight. Of course, breakfast is great with Vegemite which is one thing that a foreigner to this land may turn their nose up at.

You can't leave the country without experimenting with some of the fish. Calamari is done in a specific way. Fresh fish fillets are served on the beach in newspaper. They come in the form of a schnitzel. Chips will always accompany this. John Dory fillets are hugely popular, especially in Sydney which is where they are found. They are served with chips or mashed potatoes.

Australians claim that they were the nation who came up with pea and ham soup. It is debatable since this particular meal has been a number one favorite all over England and other parts of the world. However, Australians also use sausage for a variation here.

Calamari is made all over the world, but this kind of calamari can be identified with the salt and pepper batter that it is made of. It is deep fried and served with sweet chili sauce which makes all of the difference. If you go into a pub, you will usually see this on a menu, if it is a traditional pub. It is great served with a beer. Australians know how to do this properly so that it is cooked just right.
