Food

So, what about Australian food? What is exactly Australian food? Good question!

There are not that many dishes we can say that are Australians. I’ve been eating more Asian food (Chinese, Thai, Japanese, etc) than anything else. Sushi is sold as fast food in many places, just like coxinhas – fantastic! Anyway, slowly I’m being introduced to the genuine Australian food.

- Peas pie: seems to be typical. It’s a meat pie, covered by smashed potatoes, peas and gravy, as you can see in the picture;

- ANZAC biscuits: made with flour, oats and brown sugar, they used to be sent to Australia and New Zealand soldiers during the 1st World War, as they are tasty and last long;

- Kangoroo: actually, Australians don’t generally eat kangaroos – they should, though, as there are twice as many kangaroos that people in the country. Anyhow, I decided to try it! My ex hosts Steve and Leah cooked and we all ate delicious low fat meat with salad.

- Pavlova: this is the best dessert ever! Its made with egg whites, sugar and fruits. Fantastic!
