What kind of foods do Australians eat?
#11
The majority of Australians do not often eat kangaroo or emu etc and some of our wild animals are protected so that Aborigines are the only ones allowed to kill and eat them. However, I have had witchety grubs and I thought they had a nutty/ woody taste. I quite liked them. Snake was like a cross between chicken and fish and kangaroo was like a beef. I have never had emu or echidna. I was given wattle seed " coffee" to drink which was very nice. I ate these only when I went bush with some Koori and Torres Strait Islander friends of mine. Mostly we go to the supermarket or butcher to get our meat, the same as you do.

Thanks everyone I'll have to share this with Zach. He's only 12 and autistic but he has been obsessed with all things Australian for along time. He can mimic almost anything he hears and he watches alot of youtube stuff on Australia. He can sound very authentic. At least to my ears LOL
I have heard of vegemite but never seen it. We also have emu here in Iowa believe it or not! We have farmers who raise them here. I will have to look up some of the things you mention and check them out!
Thanks so much for answering my question!

I have a couple of Kiwi community fundraiser cook books. Most the baking recipes call for golden syrup.

My late husband was English so I know all about marmite and vegemite. I believe you take a whole cow and cook him horns, hoofs and innerds and the last bit of him is put into a jar. I absolutely refused to let him eat it at the table with the rest of us, the smell was atrocious. I know that when we travel overseas, I take my peanut butter and you all take your marmite and vegemite. You can have it ! (I am saying all this with a big smile on my face so please do not be offended !).

Golden Syrup is the next step in processing from treacle. It's delicious and we have it on hot buttered toast.
