OMG....who made up the story of cooking a whole cow, hooves and horns....I have never heard such rubbish.....we in Australia eat the same food as you do in the States.....maybe we have different names for some of the products...which I have found when trying to follow a recipe. We have different nationalities living here, and they have introduced the different foods etc. and the restaurants, so we have such a large variety of menu.....which I found to be the same, when I lived with my niece in New York.....apart from the odd Kangaroo meat, which I feed to my dog, and the old Vegemite, which is a yeast product.....our supermarkets are the same as yours.
