Traveling is all about experiencing the culture and one of the best ways to do so is by trying the local food. Australia is mostly a Western culture and is someone influenced by the British so their food is similar to the US. Although Australia is similar to the US, they have several food items that are unique to their culture. I have previously talked about my excitement to try the chocolate cookies called Tim Tams but there are also several other foods that sound amazing. Fish and Chips is a food I have tried many times before but in the US but we know it as fried fish and fries. Australians are known for making great fish because the entire country is surrounded by an ocean so there is always fresh fish. Another common dish is chicken parmigiana which isn’t a dish that originated from Australia but they make it bloody good. Chicken parma is the most common dish in pubs and they even have parma nights where you can get this dish cheap, similar to Taco Tuesday in the US. Australia is also known for having good deserts. One dish that I want to try is Pavlova which is a meringue cake topped with whip cream and berries. Pavlova can be found at many restaurants, bakeries, and markets. I found tons of unique foods that I want to try while in Australia.
