Is there such a thing?
We've come a long way since the 70's. We have some seriously good chefs all round the world and at home creating some fusions of different kinds of food, but what would you describe as Australian Cuisine?
Is it what people eat at home on a day to day basis, home cooking?
Is it using local indigenous produce to create unique dishes?
Is it typical pub tucker (which is bits of italian, chinese and %$^£$%^&%% knows what)
Or is it something else?
If you were asked to provide a 3 course set menu for an Australian themed restaurant, what would you choose for each course? (you don't have to be able to cook it) What do you consider would be contemporary Australian Cuisine? _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Drumstick for desert!

Good question. I'd ask someone who knew something about food. Or cared. I just like anything that is (a) easy and/or (b) nutritious and/or (c) inexpensive an/or (d) doesn't take long.
I just went for tea with my parents to the excellent Thai place in Sturt Street. It seems to be under new management. The menus are freshly printed and more colourful, the light shades are new, every dish is $5 to $10 more expensive, and my mother and I agreed that the food wasn't nearly as good. It was around about pub meal standard: fills the hole, finish the plate, forget about it. At $40 for the ginger duck - I love duck - it was about $25 too much. I'd have paid $40 for the duck they used to serve back when it was $29.
Should have had a hamburger.
Sigh
Dunno where we are going to eat now when my parents visit. I might have to cook myself. I never do anything fancy or waste too long on cooking - certainly not just for myself - but I do a better than decent pasta when I turn my hand to it. _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives! |

I haven't got the slightest freaking idea.
We haven't been around long enough to develop a cuisine of our own. 'World cuisine' won't cut it. Foie gras is French, shiitake is Japanese, but what's Australian? |

Saw some wanker >apparently an aussie< this morning on the NBC Today show cook a "steak Sanga" for his cobbers on the show.
Firstly it was in a Bun, secondly it didn't have an egg, thirdly rather than iceberg lettuce he had that stupid salad mix and one slice of tomato with the steak. I yelled at the Tele felt like twitting the stupid show but CBF. |

That walkabout pub menu is ridiculous isn't it? Stck some vegemite on garlic flat bread and it becomes Australian.
Pulled Pork? Hot dogs? Monterey Jack Cheese? Sounds very USA to me. Still, most poms are too stupid to know the difference _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

I love ém. tell my missus "don't buy them, you know I'll smash ém".
What does she do... yep, the big 16 in a box job
Cooked up some nice marinaded chicken legs in the weber last night, served with mash, steamed bok choy and broccolini. Yep, then 2 drumsticks _________________ Don't count the days, make the days count. |

These days I'd say your typical Aussie cuisine is a McCain's frozen pizza. _________________ "Only the weak believe that what they do in battle is who they are as men" - Thomas Marshall - "Ironclad". |
