If you're an Australian, then you already have a deep and intimate relationship with our iconic cuisine. When it comes to our food, we do have a bit of a reputation for being, well, a little bit cooked.
Boyfriend and I are reading a Buzzfeed article about Australian food and it all looks so gross what even is Australia
To non-Australians, our beloved national cuisine can cause confusion, outrage and even disgust. But we're unapologetic in our approach to food and we'll pretty much give any two flavour pairings a go.
1. Peanut butter and Vegemite
2. Milo and coffee
3. Vegemite and chocolate
4. Arrowroot biscuits and butter
5. Meat pie in a bowl of pea soup
6. Fried chicken in sushi
7. Avocado and jam
8. Maltesers and popcorn
9. Jatz sambos
10. Kebab meat on hot chips, AKA the glorious HSP
11. Macca's fries dipped in a soft serve
Fries with soft serve ice cream 🤤
Only fools dip their chips in sweet 'n' sour sauce.
12. Dry Weetbix and butter
13. White bread and tinned spaghetti
Burning your tongue on a spaghetti jaffle - classic. #growingupaustralian
Because who can refuse a double-serving of carbs?
14. A cob loaf, plus whatever filling you can dream up
I just remembered this appalling/amazing garlic bread 4 cheese cob loaf I made last year
Once reserved for a mixture of spinach, sour cream and French onion soup seasoning (an '80s classic), the iconic Australian cob loaf has evolved into so many variations, it's hard to pick a favourite.
15. Beetroot and burgers
16. Chicken salt and hot chips
17. A roast chook and a tub of coleslaw
18. Ginger beer and ice cream
19. And finally, a Tim Tam and a cuppa tea
