Celebrating The Things That Make Australia Unique

In general, traditional Australian recipes originated in Great Britain and were
adapted over the years to fit the Aussie way of life. Bush tucker, on the other
hand, are recipes created using Australian bush foods.

While some foods may sound familiar to Americans, they're often served quite differently. Most Aussies order their hamburger with a fried egg and bacon along with the standard beetroot (beets). and the buns are always buttered before tomato sauce (ketchup) is added. Yes, we love beetroot on our sandwiches. Pumpkin isn't for carving Jack-O-Lanterns as you do in the USA for Halloween. It's a regularly eaten vegetable here, baked and served with a main dish or mashed and mixed with potatoes.

An Aussie favourite is a meat pie or a sausage roll with tomato sauce on top. It's eaten like a sandwich, not with fork and knife.

Throughout our website you'll find words in parenthesis. They are for our American friends to help you understand what we're saying.
