Australian Cuisine: The Tastiest Way to Travel Down Under

Introduction

When it comes to travel, Australia is one of the most exotic places in the world. The country has a unique culture that is unlike anything else on earth. Its people are friendly and welcoming; its landscape is diverse; and its cuisine is unlike anything you’ve ever tasted before. Whether you’re visiting the Outback or Sydney, here are some food items you need to try on your trip Down Under:

Some of the best Australian dishes are made with meat, while others feature seafood.

The meat pie is a popular choice for lunch or dinner and can be eaten either hot or cold. This savory pastry is filled with minced beef, onions and seasonings that vary by region. Crocodile steaks are another popular dish–although this one might not be for everyone! Barbecued kangaroo steaks are also quite common on menus throughout Australia but have gained popularity in other parts of the world as well.

Fish ‘n’ chips originated in Britain but has become an iconic Australian meal since being introduced to Australians by European immigrants during colonial times (and then exported back overseas). People eat it as fast food at fish-and-chip shops or sit down at restaurants like Bill’s Seafood Restaurant & Oyster Bar in Sydney where they serve up their version served with tartar sauce instead of traditional vinegar-based sauces found elsewhere

When in Australia, try a “pie floater,” a meat pie served in gravy with peas and mashed potatoes on top.

For dessert, try the pavlova, an Australian meringue cake made with cream and fruit.

For dessert, try the pavlova, an Australian meringue cake made with cream and fruit. If you’ve never had one before but are feeling adventurous, give it a go! You’ll need:

  • 3 large egg whites (Separated from yolks)
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tartar or 1 tsp white vinegar (To stabilize the egg whites.)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (For sweetening.)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (To balance out sweetness.)

To make your pavlova: Separate 3 large eggs into two separate bowls–one containing 2 whole eggs and one containing just yolks. Add 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar or 1 teaspoon white vinegar to each bowl; this will help stabilize them so they don’t fall apart during mixing later on. Beat until thickened and foamy; when you lift out the beater after beating for about 30 seconds, there should be no liquid pooled at bottom of bowl anymore–if there is still some liquid left over after beating for 45 seconds then add another tablespoonful each time until all traces disappear from bottom surface area so nothing gets wasted during baking process later on!

Be careful when eating because some foods can be very spicy!

As you travel around Australia, be careful when eating because some foods can be very spicy! The spiciness of a dish can vary from restaurant to restaurant and even region to region. If you’re not used to spicy food, then start small and work your way up. Don’t forget: everything tastes better with a cold beer in hand!

Conclusion

The best way to try all these delicious Australian dishes is by traveling down under. There are so many different foods and flavors to explore in this beautiful country, so why not make it an adventure? Whether you’re looking for something spicy or sweet–or anything in between!
