    Typical Aussie Cusine for LilMess

    So I get this email from my Granddaughter:

    To: Norm Messinger <[email protected]>
    Subject: Australia

    I'm doing Australia for my family history project, and I need to bring in some kind of Australian food for reading. Can you ask your australian friends if there are any easy australian foods I can make?

    Love,

    Charlia


    Realizing kangaroo and crocodile is not easy to find in Wisconson and a 12 year old is not a great chef, what might we suggest? Or is it just in the name, as in "Yabbies in green polenta (http://australiancuisine.tripod.com/yabbies.htm), for instance.

    Thanks.

    VEGEMITE

    I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist.

        Alex has a pen pal in Australia; Alex sent him some Marmite and got some Vegemite in return; Alex now says he prefers Vegemite.

        Still, meat pies would be easier.

          I don't recall any specifically Aussie food from my time there, unless it was grey sausages ("hotdogs"), liberally doused in red food coloring (dying only the surface) or bacon with strange gristly knobs in it (very well done thank you!). I did have some excellent breakfast sausages, but the eggs fried in lard where a bit too much. The tubulur bread (baked in can-like tins) was a kick. [img]smile.gif[/img]

              Hello! Anybody awake in Austrailia? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

              I see Amazon sells kangaroo meat, only $20 a pound. How much would it take to feed a class of 6th graders?

                Oh yeah, there was one thing: fast food hamburgers served with a fried egg on top. They also seem to (or did) generally serve a steak (at dinner time) with a fried egg.

                  Its kind of interesting that the Aussies seem to be conspicuously absent from this thread. Maybe you retitle it - you know something absoflaminglutely trollish. Or we could just use this venue as a place to lob invectives about the Aussie's lack of taste (Fosters for instance). A few more posts like these and I'm sure they will show up!

                  You could serve roadkill for instance, and don't they eat a large variety of both tree bark and digustingly named bugs like juliiamba maggots.



                  Of course its just as likely that some well Known Auklanders will show up and join us.

                    Yeah, those witchety grub eaters.
                    You can't suggest pavlova because thats a Kiwi invention that the Aussies keep trying to claim.

                    Ahhhhh. something satisfying about casting the line and just sitting back in the sun waiting for the first bite....

                      Thou jarring fat-kidneyed codpiece!

                      Thou warped ill-nurtured minnow!

                      Thou loggerheaded fool-born pumpion!

                      Thou mangled dizzy-eyed barnacle!

                      Jeff, that site is great. I tried to stop sooner, but each next insult was greater than the last. Take that you Aussies.

                        Well, I've heard there's a dish called "shrimp on the Barbie", but Barbie dolls are kinda pricy for a kid lunch (and probably not very digestable, parents will object)!

                            Geeze Del,.....that is a pity. I suppose one could just cook up some lamb until it's tough as leather. I couldn't warm up to it, but it seem to be a real crowd pleaser the last time I visited.

                              They do tend to overcook down there don't they.
