Contemporary Australian cuisine is called "jungle food" because it draws lessons from the cooking methods of indigenous people, including cooking special foods with local animals and plants, which can meet the requirements of different tastes. In order to meet customers' demand for novelty food, Australia began to provide emu, kangaroo and crocodile meat. Of course, this is for commercial purposes. Although many Australians could not accept it at first, a brand-new food culture gradually spread.
With the first-hand information, we can better understand the local food culture, and this demand has brought about the continuous development of tourism with the theme of local food and beverage. An effective way to taste Australian local food is to actively participate in tourism activities provided by indigenous areas, which generally include tasting various foods, such as potatoes, seeds and larvae, and at the same time mastering the ability to identify foods seen in the jungle.
When you come to Australia, you must taste seafood. The most famous are two kinds of crayfish and Australian lungfish. Australian lungfish is a large marine fish used for games. Mainly produced in the north coast, it tastes delicious, so it is valuable. Crayfish is a crustacean fish. It looks like a lobster, but it has no big claws. It is also a very popular food in the local area. Another food not to be missed is the damper, which is an Australian bread. It is not a dinner, but generally regarded as a dessert, similar to the biscuits that Americans often say.
Another popular food in Australia is acacia seeds (also known as acacia). Many food ingredients contain this kind of prolific seed, which is rich in nutrition. After being ground into powder, it can be used to make all kinds of bread and cakes, as a seasoning for desserts, and also as a coffee-flavored beverage.
The famous Vegemite sauce in Australia is a kind of jam made from black malt extract. Malt essence is a by-product of Australian beer brewing. In the 1920s, it was mixed with other ingredients to give full play to its nutritional efficacy. Eating this kind of jam is an art, and you need to take a proper amount and spread it thinly on the bread to taste the delicious place.
