so funny reading this when all these "aussie" things aren't really aussie at all!
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
Wow this is an interesting thread. I have a friend from Oz and she has never told me about all of these delicacies! I will definately need to run them by her. BYW, what is Vegemite, is it like Mayo here in the States, I know its a sandwich spread but what is the base?

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...
