Australia is a real fruit paradise. A list of fruits abundant here are; fragrant apples and pears from Tasmania, kiwi, bananas, pineapples, citrus fruits, papaya, avocado, mango, lychee, peaches of the zhondong. All these can be eaten with garnish from meat or fish dishes, as well as in the form of salads or desserts. The variety of vegetables and seasonings grown here are also amazing. There are among them different kinds of cabbage and lettuce, potatoes, beans and lentils, corn, tomatoes, spinach, Indian spices, lemon myrtle, and Tasmanian pepper. The bitter-salted paste “vedjimayt”, beloved by Australians is prepared from celery and onions on the basis of beer wort with a lot of salt. And, dense apple chutney is prepared from apples with raisins and spices.
It is definitely worth trying the pie made from puff dough with meat stuffing, excellent sheep cheese, and local wines, all sold in Australia. Some extremely delicious Australian desserts include: meringues with kiwi and whipped cream, chocolate cake “Lamington” with coconut chips, sweet-coated frog cake with cream filling, Arnott biscuits, “Anzak” cookies from oat flakes and coconut, “elven bread” – triangular slices with butter and colored dragee. Gourmets can pay attention to the cuisine of the Aborigines – “Bush Tucker”. Among them you can find “dumper” bread made from flour and water and baked on charcoal, soup from the meat of whole fried bull, mango and local barravong nuts, food from beetles or larvae.
