  1. Australian Foods By: Jenny Tran

  2. Rolled Wattleseed Pavlova • The wattle is an Australian tree. • The Aboriginal people have originally collected the seeds, roasted them, and used them in their food, and in some breads. • This is a versatile dessert, and finely ground coffee beans or chocolate could be substituted for wattleseed.

  3. Anzac Biscuits • In Australia, biscuits are a comfort food. • Biscuits and cookies are the same thing, depending of where you live. • Anzac biscuits are never called cookies and the name is actually protected under Australian law. • Approval for the word 'Anzac' to be on biscuit products have been given to products that only have the traditional recipe and shape, not advertised in anyway, and not used in association with the word ‘cookies’.

  4. Australian Cheese and Chive Damper • Damper is a traditional Australian bread. • It is made without yeast. • It is also commonly made on a campfire, in a cast iron camp oven, and sometimes placed directly on hot coals of an open fire.

  5. Aussie Meat Pie • It’s a hand sized meat pie with minced meat and gravy, sometimes with onion and a tomato sauce on top. (Ketchup) • Some people think of it as an on the go food. • It’s also sometimes considered as Australia’s national dish. • A brand called Four’N’Twenty produces 50,000 pies per hour.

  6. Lamingtons • A lamington is a sponge cake dipped in melted chocolate, sometimes dusted with powdered sugar or coconut. • Some say that Lamingtons were invented in the Queensland Government House kitchen as a new way to use stale sponge cake. • They’re named after Lady Lamington, wife of the Governor from 1896 to 1901of Queensland.

  7. Balmain Bug • Commonly served with a salad. • Found at depths of 20-500 m off the coast of Australia. • A small, sweet crayfish named after a Sydney suburb.

  8. Vegemite • A dark brown food paste made from yeast extract. • Occasionally used as a spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets, biscuits, and sometimes, pastry filling. • It’s an acquired taste, salty, slightly bitter and malty. • Texture is smooth and sticky.
