It is said that, 'A way to a man's heart is through his stomach.' Rightly so, who wouldn't enjoy a good meal after a hard day's work.
Australian CuisineThe earlier Australian cuisine had a strong influence from the British because they were the settlers then. Their food generally consisted of grilled steak and chops, pies, chicken, roasted cuts of meat with a helping of vegetables like potatoes, peas, beans and carrots. But now, as more and more people of different cultures are settling in Australia, the Australian cuisine has also been influenced by the Asians and the Mediterraneans. However, the British influence still prevails but only in some places.
