About their Food

Roast lamb has been declared Australia's national dish in a major poll that shows we're still a country of meat eaters at heart. The poll, held on News Ltd websites across all mainland capitals, attracted more than 24,000 votes.

Australia's culinary landscape is a vibrant blend of traditional indigenous foods, multicultural influences, and local produce. Indigenous ingredients, often referred to as "bush tucker," include unique items like witchetty grubs, kangaroo meat, and bush tomatoes, offering a taste of Australia’s deep-rooted heritage. Macadamia nuts, native to Australia, are a popular addition to both sweet and savory dishes.

Meat pies, another beloved staple, feature flaky pastry filled with minced meat and are enjoyed across the country. Seafood also plays a crucial role, with fresh catches like barramundi and prawns being highlights, particularly in coastal regions. The multicultural fabric of Australia is evident in its diverse food scene, where Asian, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern influences have seamlessly integrated, resulting in a rich array of flavors and culinary experiences. From beachside barbecues to fine dining, Australia's food culture is as diverse and dynamic as its people.
