But what about Anzacs? We can't leave them off the menu!

liek pavlova - that's a NZ invention
and fish and chips? DEFINATELY english, as is the roast dinner with veggies (though you need to make yorkshire puddings to make it a real roast) as is "bangers & mash" and "bubble & squeek"
I think the only TRUELY aussie thing is the good ole' vegemite - and the tim tams...then then there's cherrie ripes...... bbq shapes....mmmmm |

Vegemite is no mayo OneOfHisOwn!! It's a dark brown spread that is meant to be spread thinly on your bread - and I mean REALLY THIN, there is a lot of flavour in even the tiniest amount. It's a yeast extract so its flavour isvery salty. It's not my favourite condiment but many an Aussie has grown up on the stuff, as you have probably heard! I was once told to spread it like nutella, nice and thick. After nearly choking to death I decked that person  ok just kidding...
