Breakfast

A typical breakfast in Australia is toasted bread with Vegemite or Nutella. Australians eat Vegemite and Nutella because the ingredients used are accessible. Something else you might want to try are Lamington Hotcakes, in Australia you call Pancakes, Hotcakes. Australian's also love Damper's. A Damper is a soda cake which is typically cooked over a fire. Inside it some Australian's put dried fruit, or bacon and cheese, or herbs. Most Australians drink juice, coffee, or tea in the morning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lamington

Lamington is a dessert that is technically a square piece of chocolate sponge cake covered in chocolate and shredded coconuts. They can also be filled with jam. Lamington is the special dessert of Queensland because of its past governor Lord Lamington, and yes Lamington is named after Lord Lamington. Lamington was created by accident when a maid dropped Lord Lamington’s favorite sponge cake in chocolate. Lord Lamington wasn’t the wasteful type and asked them to be covered in coconut so he wouldn’t get his finger dirty. Thus behold the wonderful creation. Although Lord Lamington publicly said he hated those tasty cakes, when in fact he loved them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

FOOD

Lunch

A typical lunch is very similar to an American's family lunch. I have decided to put some foods that you can’t have in the U.S.A. For lunch you can have grilled Kangaroo, yes Australian's eat their national animal, I'm not here to judge. The kangaroo is eaten rare or medium rare, with garlic, pepper, juniper, and rosemary. Then marinated in a sweet citrus sauce. Other things that you can eat are these delectable pies called eat Meat Pies. Another thing is a hamburger with beetroot. Australians drink water, soda or a soft drink, beer, or wine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two Histroic  Foods

Dinner

For dinner there is nothing really special. Australians technically what Americans eat. Like pizza, stir fry, meat and vegetables, even takeout. Recently Australia has been dealing with lot of obesity, so try something healthy. They drink what they drink for lunch, they drink water, soft drink/soda, beer or wine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meat Pies

A Meat Pie is a dish with diced meat inside the crunchy softness of the bread, with gravy, and sometimes topped with BBQ sauce or Ketchup. The first ever “Meat Pies” were called Coffins or Coffyns. The first traces of “Meat Pies” were from the Ancient Egyptians. Then  the Greeks found out about the pies and loved them. The Greeks shared them with the Romans, and then spread through Europe through the Roman Roads. After the Europeans invaded Australia, meat pies were served to the high order and then later served to “common folk”.
