Australian's main dish is err..

What is Australia's national dish? I guess that’s the question all of u are thinking especially those foodies like I am, hee. Yea, frankly Australian themselves have no idea what’s their national dish because their culture have the mixture of the cultures in the United Kingdom.

They even  launch a major national poll asking people to vote for their favourite national dish. Some views i search from google from MasterChef judge Matt Preston didn't nominate a dish but said a barbecue was "how we express our Australianness".  Some say that a barbecue was "the perfect reflection of their climate and very laid back way of life", salt and pepper squid had been adopted with "zeal" in restaurants and cafes.
It's a classic example of Australians eating lighter and with Asian flavours filtering into mainstream dining. Served with a salad, it's become a more diminutive replacement for fish and chips and a meal that is perfect for al fresco dining or being by the beach, which is also very Aussie.

But  some Australian thinks that Spaghetti Bolognese or know as  Spag Bol is the number one dish cooked by Australians therefore it’s considered as the national dish. Some thinks that  a Pavlova a typically garnished with strawberries, passionfruit, kiwifruit and cream. But if we look back at the history of this dish it is name after Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova. I mean Russia ? haha. I guess after this we can invent a dissert and name it Crystal since she loves ballet so much too ( okey that is some quick facts, tehehe  :p )


                   *Ehh, i just peep through an awesome blog here! and i know i smell food somewhere*



As a conclusion Australian has no specific signature dish due to the fact that their culture is mostly adapted from the people in the UK. But have no fear I am in for more scoops of more of the unique and famous dishes in Australia so that u’ll be prepared when  you reach the awesome land of Ozzz, *PEACE OUT!
