Two good friends of mine were lucky enough to spend an entire MONTH travelling across Australia recently. I asked them to send me pictures of anything interesting they sampled en route. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what constitutes Australian food other than the stereotypes of barbecue, Vegemite and seafood, but that’s my ignorance. It seems, like the UK, they’ve adopted a lot of other cultural cuisines. But, from what I can see, light and fresh seems to be way of things. I guess this goes for most countries which, very much unlike the UK, are bathed in sunshine!
So, on their behalf here are some of the highlights!
Pork belly sandwich. Mouth watering and yet, literally, heart-stopping….
Gourmet crepes with kangaroo (yes, kangaroo) prosciutto, bush tomato chutney, egg cheese and baby spinach
Crushed avocado, feta and lemon juice focaccia
Mushrooms with balsamic reduction, feta and wilted spinach on sour dough bread.
Have plenty more to share as well – could offer a less interesting picture of a British Railway breakfast if you like? On the train home from London now 😦
Ahhh, the railway breakfast! I’ll pass on that then, but send on anything else from Oz that’s worth a look.
