As one of the most famous immigrant countries in the world, Australian cuisine has inherited diversified styles. In terms of ingredients, the vast region and polarized climate have bred meat storage varieties with delicious meat, and the pure environment has created the pure quality of Australian seafood. This article will introduce some special foods in Australia, hoping to help everyone!

Australian famous food

1. Kangaroo meat

Kangaroo meat tastes a little similar to beef, but it is not as tender as beef, and there is nothing special about it. However, tasting kangaroo meat, Australia's national animal, undoubtedly has another layer of cultural taste. Kangaroo meat is allowed to be sold in most States. Some butchers have fresh meat, and some restaurants have kangaroo meat dishes. The price is close to that of beef.

For China tourists who are new to Australia and taste it for the first time, it really takes some "skills" to eat a delicious kangaroo meat. Locals like to eat well-cooked kangaroo meat, but most Chinese people are not used to it, so you need to tell the waiter to roast the meat tenderly in advance, otherwise you will find it difficult to swallow when you first taste it.

When eating roasted kangaroo meat, the condiments are generally salt, pepper and lemon, and it is better to add a little pepper, because kangaroo meat is slightly sour, which is not suitable for China people's taste. Dipping some pepper before eating can not only suppress the sour taste, but also be very delicious.

2. Emperor Crab

The so-called Emperor Crab refers to the hypertrophy of the crab. The big Emperor Crab is the size of a basin, which makes people drool at the sight. Some people even brought the shell of the Emperor Crab back to China as a souvenir.

3. Oysters

Oysters are also called oysters. Australian oysters are fat, clean and cheap ($6/12). Oysters can be eaten raw or steamed. There are many Hong Kong people who go to Australia to eat oysters, and they even joked that it is worth a plane ticket. Fresh oysters are not even covered. Customers can watch the salesperson open the lid and squeeze fresh lemon juice until the oyster meat is eaten raw with sauce. It is delicious.

4. Abalone

Australia is rich in abalone. However, Australians don't know how to eat abalone. Abalone is basically only visible in restaurants in China except for export. In the past, there were only a few Australian dollars per kilogram of abalone. Since a large number of Chinese came to Australia, it has gradually risen to more than 3 Australian dollars.

5. Lobster

Australian lobster is the most famous in China. In the hometown of lobster, the price of lobster may not be cheap.

6. Salmon

Salmon is mainly eaten raw, which requires high hygiene. Salmon rich in Australia should be said to be the most hygienic.

5. Cottage dishes in Barossa Valley, South Australia

Barossa Valley in South Australia is the largest independent wine producing area in Australia. Immigrants from Europe have been rooted there for six generations, and they have established a prosperous grape manor. Food and wine have become an indispensable part of this area, and they are even closely combined and cannot be separated from each other. The flavor of Barossa's farm dishes comes from the Germans who first settled and immigrated here, but there are also examples of multicultural integration. The integration of Greek, Italian, China, Yugoslavia and recent Vietnamese immigrants in the state has also presented us with a great hodgepodge of food. Among them, there are wurst and barbecue with strong flavor, as well as salmon, venison, crayfish and some olive oil with distinctive taste.

wine and food tours can be carried out everywhere, and there is even a wine train that can take you to various wineries and taste the local wines. Also in this area, Thorn Park in Clare Valley provides more opportunities for tourists to have a wine tour, so that they can experience art courses while tasting wine, or receive the careful guidance of talented chef David Hay in cooking school.

7. Tasmania's special products conference

The Sunday market in Salamanca Square, Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, is a combination of religious culture and farmers' fair, where you can also taste many delicious foods produced in Tasmania.

Treasure Island is undoubtedly the representative of Tasmania's wine industry, where the wine industry is not only thriving, but also the pristine water and soil provides the best salmon and crustacean food to the local people and people on the Australian mainland. This fertile land also produces apples, berries, plums, nectarines, mustard and the most famous cheese.

The nearby King Island is a beautiful place, where there are no traffic lights, the air is fragrant, and the food has many bright spots. There are delicious cheese, beef, wild turkeys, pheasants and delicious pies from King Island Bakery. The locals are very friendly.

It seems that they are all mixed with nuts, raisins, popcorn and so on in white or black chocolate, but the hardness and toughness of chocolate are different, and different ingredients are added to form a variety of flavors.

famous Australian attractions

Sydney Opera House

The Sydney Opera House is located in the headland of Benilan, Sydney. This comprehensive art center is regarded as a typical work of giant sculpture in the history of modern architecture, and it is also a symbolic symbol of Australia. Its appearance is like a white sail about to sail out to sea, which contrasts with the surrounding scenery. A photography platform was set up in Lovers Harbor near Sydney Opera House, with Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge as the background for tourists to take pictures. Another attraction is the "Lady Macaulay Bench", which is actually a stone step. Macaulay was Australia's first governor. When he went out to sea, his wife looked out and waited here, because the terrain was high and the ships entering the port could be seen at the earliest. According to China people, this is "Wangfutai". What I am interested in is a big tree on the shore. Its crown may cover more than 1 square meters, and its age is at least 2 years, which is longer than their national age. In my opinion, this is also history, and history does not have to be recorded in writing.

tropical rain forest

go deep into the rain forest by amphibious vehicle. Crawler amphibious vehicles stumble on dirt roads, then jump into the water and wander in mountain streams. It is said that there are millions of tropical trees here that are over 2 years old. There are two kinds of deep impressions: First, antlers fern, as its name implies, is a fern with leaves shaped like antlers, parasitic on other big trees, and its roots are attached to the trunk, which can store up to 1 kilograms of water, making it a good place for indigenous people to get water in the dense forest; Another is "poisonous wood", which is thin and has thorns only 2-3 cm thick. Animals will be highly toxic after being stabbed and bleeding. I have also seen this plant in Hainan Island Botanical Garden, where it is called "blood sealing throat". Fortunately, there are few such poisonous plants, otherwise it would be terrible to live in the forest.

Great Barrier Reef

After arriving at the Great Barrier Reef Pier, the first project is to take a translucent glass boat and watch the colorful underwater world. The Great Barrier Reef is famous for its coral species. Hard corals stand upright like trees, and soft corals are elegant like grass; Starfish and conch can be seen everywhere, and sea cucumbers and seaweed are within reach; Colored small fish flock together, and fierce big fish run amok. The shallow seabed shows the colorful other side of the world. The second project is to take a semi-submersible boat tour, which is actually similar to taking a semi-transparent glass bottom boat tour. The former is looking from top to bottom, but now it is looking at both sides, even the sea areas it passes through are the same.

St. Mary's Cathedral

St. Mary's Cathedral near Hyde Park in Sydney is the spiritual home of the Catholic community in Sydney. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Sydney and was built on the site of the first Catholic church in Sydney. The cathedral is made of local sandstone, and the "Gothic" architectural style is the architectural legacy of medieval cathedrals in Europe. It was founded in 1821, and Catholic priests officially came to Australia in 182, so it is called the mother of Australian Catholic Church. St Mary's church is magnificent and solemn. Father Mallogo's floor pattern in the catacombs of the church, with the theme of Genesis, is made of colored gravel and is world-famous for its exquisite workmanship. It is not only a precious legacy of the past, but also an important part of the spiritual and cultural life of the whole city and country today. The largest and oldest religious building in Australia is located at the corner of College Street and Prince Albert Road, which is opposite Hyde Park. As soon as tourists enter the church, they are immediately infected by a solemn atmosphere.
