Most Australians are bad at articulating local dishes here I feel, either because they just regurgitate memes about vegemite or only eat globalised takeaway food and don't know how overseas food differs

Based on my grandmother and mother's cooking, I'd say these are actually Australian foods, often shared with other commonwealth states or having med/azn influence:
>apricot chicken
>sausage curry with sour cream
>pavlova
>egg and bacon pizzas
>tim tams
>burgers with egg/bacon/beetroot/pineapple
>blue heaven milkshakes
>anzac biscuits
>HSPs
>cheese kranskies
>balmain bugs, yabbies
>fish and chips with chicken salt
>kai si ming
>neenish tarts
>scallop pies
>golden syrup dumplings
>mixed grills
>lamb in general
>many local wines
>flummeries (a bit obscure today)
>chocolate ripple cake

>a lot of british staples like roast beef or bangers and mash

No. They say that because it's true. Foster's is really not big in Australia at all. Foster's beer was even discontinued domestically in 2002. They brought back a few years ago, but it's still a very small brand. You'll sometimes see cartons at bottleos, but you honestly never see it on tap at a pub. You never see anybody actually drink it. It just has an outsized reputation internationally because of a marketing campaign in the '80s. You're right about how dumb it is when people dismiss it as pisswater though. Because Foster's is owned by a Japanese brewing conglomerate. That same megacorp also owns Carlton Draught, Pure Blonde, Cascade, VB, Pirate Life, Great Northern and a couple dozen other brands too. It's all the same pisswater.

Vegemite.
>>
>>21872458
Australian cuisine reflects its multiculturalism. Owing to its origins as a British colony, much of Australian cuisine is built on a rough foundation of traditional British cuisine: fish and chips, meat pies, sausage rolls, carvery (roasts), chip butty ("chipwich" or "chip sarnie" in Australia), full breakfast, boiled meats, et cetera.

Australia also incorporates elements of cooking from other European countries (predictably there is an "Australian" pizza, as well as an "Australian" hamburger), as well as the Mediterranean and middle east (gyros, hallal snack packs), and the surrounding Asian cultures (dim sims).

Australia also has some food items that are considered to be uniquely Australian, amongst them are Vegemite toast (as well as "Tiger toast" which is just Vegemite toast with cuts of Kraft singles (to make it resemble a tiger's coat), "fairy bread" (buttered white bread with sprinkles (US), hail (western Europe), or "hundreds and thousands" (Britain)), and regional "delicacies" like Adelaide's "frog cakes" (stale twinkies with icing that reliably give you the kind of mild headache that comes from eating cheap, factory made, pastries).

I hope this post was informative.
>>
>>21877164
I've only had a frog cake once. And I can't remember what it tasted like. But it was when I was a kid and my grandparents took me somewhere. On a little day trip with them. And they got me a frog cake after lunch. Probably because they got given one when they were little kids growing up in Adelaide too. Following tradition.

australian food is essentially just british food with an emphasis on barbeque and the sole addition of prawns. that said, they do have some local formats, like "fairy bread" (hundreds-and-thousands spread on sliced bread, which is actually dutch in origin), and the "snag": a sausage wrapped in (you guessed it) sliced bread, typically enjoyed outside the nearest monopoly-brand hardware store. it's essentially a somehow-even-more-poverty-tier hotdog.

>>21873137
nobody here drinks that, it's marketed at the UK. I drank cases of the stuff when I was a student over there, haven't even seen it since I emigrated.

You still couldn't beat him in a debate. Any chud that has ever tried has been steamrolled and humiliated.

we rarely drink fosters
however we do drink a variety of other slop brewed by the same company, such as carlton draught, victoria bitter, great northern, toohey's etc, it all tastes kinda similar to me but can be decent enough if it's fresh/cold
it's all actually owned by asahi (japan)
the other most popular beer is XXXX which is owned by kirin (japan)
>>
>>21873137
I (Australian) never even heard of this beer until I went to America to visit family. The cheap shit beer in Victoria is VB, but Great Northern is also popular.
t. used to work in a bottle shop (liquor store), been drinking since I was 15.

>>21881948
It is interesting how true that is. Indonesian fishing boats had been sailing down to Australia for centuries before Cook. Or, maybe just decades. Difficult to tell. But, when the British Navy did their first expedition to circumnavigate Australia. When they got to the top end, there was a fleet of Indonesian fishing boats already there. Indonesian fishermen had been landing and making camp seasonally. They'd come down to fish for sea cucumbers which would end up being traded all the way to China. And, Indonesia was muslim by this point. True.

One of my favourite anecdotes is of a group of English explorers travelling through the then-unknown-to-them parts of central and northern Australia.
They came across a lone aboriginal man, of a tribe the British had never met. They approached and attempted to communicate with the man, assuming he couldn't understand a word they were saying, only for him to reply in full English, which he had learned while travelling in Singapore.

Serious answer? A lot of regional variants of other international foods. Our fish and chips is made with local species of fish and shark, and topped with chicken salt (google it, great stuff). We have tons and tons of places sushi rolls like picrel, designed to be eaten by hand on the go. Also:
>Dim Sims, a kind of chinese-inspired fried dumpling, I like to get a couple with my fish and chips
>Halal Snack Packs (HSPs), chips loaded with meat and sauces
>Best espresso in the world
>Multiple nice wine regions
>The snack food/staple stuff everyone knows (vegemite, tim tams, fairy bread, etc)
There's a ton of stuff I haven't mentioned, but most of it can be defined by it's differences from other stuff, rather than anything specifically unique. Australian cuisine is kinda defined by a whole lot of fusion of techniques and flavours from varying asian and european cultures, so can't really be pinned down easily.
>>
>>21887055
There's also "modern australian cuisine" which I've only ever had at fine dining restaurants, and also put an emphasis on locally grown and sustainable ingredients, usually utilising lots of native stuff.
I seriously doubt most anons on this board give a shit about fine dining though, this is the burger'n'tendies board, afterall.

This is a great video, but I gotta note that this is the equivalent of looking at native american cuisine, it's not necessarily indicative of the general population.

Weird ramble, but a few years ago I was taking a college class and this Australian girl sat next to me for most of the semester. She brought fairy bread for the class one day to celebrate getting her American citizenship but she'd had to change something because she was vegan and it sucked. I also discovered upon seeing her citizenship certificate that she and I had exactly the same birthday (year and everything) which was especially weird because she kinda looked like she could've been my sister and we had a bunch weirdly in common, we showed up unintentionally wearing matching outfits multiple times and stuff. She clearly had a bit of a thing for me but somehow I could never get myself to be into her despite ticking most of the boxes for what I'm into.
