The subtleties of Australian cuisine

Australian cuisine is not original, but rather a combination of different cuisines of the world. But the greatest influence on it was, perhaps, British cuisine, since the country was a colony of the British Empire for a long time. Numerous immigrants from other parts of the world have contributed to the formation of the national dishes of Australia.

Oddly enough, the most favorite product of Australians is vegemite paste, which is made on the basis of yeast extract. No Australian breakfast is complete without this spread. Locals are addicted to meat. It is used in the form of barbecue or fillings for an Australian meat pie. Seafood, which is plentiful here, is also in high esteem. Desserts in Australia have a special page of cuisine - Lamington sponge cake, Pavlova cake, Anzac cookies, elf bread will please sweet tooth.
