In the words of an Australian student, “there is no traditional Australian dish”. Australia is a country filled with multicultural cuisines from around the world. Australian cuisine is notable for its influences from other cultures. From Vietnamese, Mexican, Afghan, African, to North American. All you have to do is search and you will find it.
Once type of food that you can find everywhere in Australia, is Kangaroo stake. Australia is the only country that eats its own national animal. In addition, another breakfast favourite special in Australia, is Vegemite. It is a dark brown paste made from yeast extract and different spices and flavours. It was created by Cryil P. Callister, a young fellow right here in Melbourne, in 1922.
Melbourne is one of the coffee capital of the world. Every cup of coffee, no matter from where is beautiful hand crafted. A tall black is black coffee with a bit of foam, a tall white is coffee with steamed milk. You can also get lattes, and cappuccinos. The best thing to do in the afternoon, or in the morning is stroll the city and you will find lots of people sitting outside of caffe drinking fabulous coffee.
Having spent time in Melbourne, I have tried foods from different cultures, and have had coffee at various different coffee shops on my way home everyday from school.
