its shit

at last I truly see

>>12194291
Based heavily on Brit classics and incorporating some native ingredients until the early 1900’s.
Between WW1 and 1950 quite austere due to Great Depression and rationing.
1950-1980 the age of processed food coincides with the destruction of the nuclear family and the loss of a a full time home maker in every home. Obesity rates and diabetes soar.
1980-today: mass migration from cultures with a traditional patriarchal model gives ‘new Australians’ a leg up in the health and living expense field. White Australians continue to eat processed shit and junk food while new immigrants take advantage of the amazing fresh produce and have wives who can cook.
The elites now have access to ‘mod oz’ food which uses some of the world’s best ingredients and borrows techniques from many other cultures.

If you are serious about wanting to know more theres a book called ‘one continuous picnic’ that’s a great read.

Australians don't eat food. They only have sand and rocks over there.

It's boring. There's a reason why you won't find "authentic Australian" restaurants.

Freshest seafood in the fucking world.

>>12194291
Australian here, australian "Cuisine" doesn't really exist like french or italian food does, seeing as australia has only been a settled country for a bit over 200 years, there's no real deep history or culture, so currently our quinine is primarily a bunch of sweets (Lamingtons, pavlova, misc australian goodies) and not much else.

Don't start this again you sheepfucking nematode.
When more of your population lives in Australia than Aotearoa, the point is moot.

I used to bend six inch nails as a bar bet.
I once carried a 240kg motorcycle (BMW R1100GS) off a road after its clutch cable snapped. So yeah, I don't listen to scrawny vegans when they start talking about health.

>>12194291
Actual "Australian" food is comfy tier party food. The actual best thing about Australia is that unless you're in a complete shit-tier outback village you're likely to have multiple good, authentic regional restaurants around. Greek, italian, viet, thai, jap, all sorts of middle eastern, balkan and indian are very common and if you're in a major city there's likely going to be at least a handful of places for all but the most obscure type of food.

>>12195500
You must be white, because all Australians are apparently virulently racist and xenophobic.
>Majority of Australians oppose expanded immigration
>more than 50% of Australians are foreign born or have at least one parent who is foreign born

Tell me more about Balkan cuisine in Straya.
I'm curious to know what kinds of dishes do they serve there, what with me being from the Balkans, and all that...

>>12194291
Living there now. The actual 'cuisine' of the country is pretty minimal, aside from some iconic things like Lamingtons and meat pies with tomato sauce that everyone knows about there's very little original stuff. Fairy bread is only ever a cheap, quick thing for childrens birthday-parties, I haven't seen it anywhere else at all. A few years ago people tried to push the 'bush tucker' thing with stuff like bush tomato relish and shit, but it never really caught on, all you can expect is overpriced shit. Abbos never made ANYTHING good to eat and still don't, but rich and stupid people will pay top dollar to go on tours where they can walk around the bush picking shit and watching someone spear a duck or fish before it's thrown on a charcoal fire, because it's authentic.

The good news is that in spite of the lack of native cuisine, the restaurant-quality is very diverse and very good, though food and the cost of living here is ridiculous compared to most European countries and America. Oddly enough, fine dining here is comparatively cheap and just as good as the fine dining I've tried in other places, upmarket restaurants in Sydney and Canberra cost less and tasted better than a Michelin star restaurant I went to in the states and were about as good as some in Singapore.

>>12196748
Quality post, my man. How is abbo/abo spelled? Is it considered a slur? Are the abbos really as bad off as we see them depicted in the media? Have you had their food? Sorry for all the questions, just really interested in aboriginals.

>>12195505
you might want to clean your mirror and then shave your chest

>>12196762
Not that guy but I am Australian. It's "abo". I don't get why people fuck that up a lot. Is it because they don't actually know it's short for aboriginal?

>>12196762
Not that guy either but the majority are degenerate addicts that rely on the state for every need.

British and American food with fried eggs and beetroot added.

>>12194291

>>12196762
Thanks. I've only ever heard it spelled Abbo, and it's considered somewhat rude but not inherently abusive, one of those words that white liberals care more about than the people it applies to.

The ones that are generally accepted to be the worst are the outback ones who I've never met and can't comment on, but I've heard shitloads of horror-stories in pubs and stuff, like a coworker who claimed that a policeman told her that she shouldn't stop under any circumstances while driving through a certain town, my landlord used to work with a group that focused on educating them so they could learn to be rangers and educators and was very frustrated with the lack of progress, etc. When I walked past a reserve for them in Queensland it was covered in trash. Again though, it's all hearsay, the ones I've personally met from the cities have been pretty decent though there are definitely slummy parts in Sydney full of them, I'm friends with a mixed girl who's father was one of the stolen generation she and her family (including the father) are all nice, upper-middle class people who seem lowkey embarrassed about the reputation their race has.

I've had their food, and the authentic stuff isn't very good at all - seafood and kangaroo, historically it would've included other animals which are protected now - thrown on a charcoal fire, some native fruits which range from inoffensive but not fantastic to bad, and some native vegetables which aren't particularly exciting. They never had much technology at all so virtually all of their cooking revolves around roasting over charcoal fires, there was never any sort of frying, no soupy dishes etc. No seasoning, minimal flavoring, very limited cooking-techniques.

The inauthentic stuff which uses their ingredients while incorporating modern cooking methods is infinitely better, like an ash-rubbed kangaroo loin served alongside some saltbush with some native dukkah,

>>12196777
Fridge is short for refrigerator, even though refrigerator doesn't have a D in it, this is because otherwise people might think it was supposed to be pronounced 'freege' with a soft G instead of 'fridge'.

'Abo' has a hard B, so it's pronounced 'ABB-o', and I suspect that's why a lot of people spell it that way. Writen as 'Abo' you could think it had a hard A.

>>12196810
Thanks a lot, that's fascinating. Abos get a lot of shit but I've always admired their ability to survive in the bush and their deep respect for the land. Ray Mears' BBC shows about aborigines are exceptional and I can't recommend them enough.

>>12196839
>Abos get a lot of shit but I've always admired their ability to survive in the bush and their deep respect for the land
Mate, abo culture is fucking dead. Every strain of everything they once were, good and bad, is fucking obliterated.

These days they're just another strain of domestic abusers, school bludgers and drunken sots with more melanin than the usual sort. If you leave a modern abo out in the bush they'll be dead by morning, and they're responsible for 4/5s of the silver pillow littering you'll see.
Not the poster you're replying to, but I've lived in fairly rural areas all my life and every single stereotype of the modern abo is 100% accurate.

>>12196839
I'll consider giving them a look, thanks for the rec.

And yeah, for better or worse, they were basically the most 'natural' humans on the planet - some of the oldest homo sapiens remains have been found here, I learned that a lot of the theories on caveman society are based around studying their culture because of how it remained essentially unchanged for tens of thousands of years.

Obviously that's not going to be conductive to integrating into modern society (Particularly given that most of them died of diseases shortly after Australia was colonized, they had absolutely no exposure to them before and it really fucked them up) or making good food (in my opinion, at least) but it's really cool to learn about.

>>12194291
They know how to fry an onion.

>>12196856
We have the same problem in America with our natives. They're by far the most pitable and sorriest motherfuckers in the country. A primitive people removed from their culture and given all of our western vices. >>12196870

>>12197032
Baked potato top crust is incredible, looks great mate.
I love also substituting it with a fried egg for the top crust. Throw a hashed brown layer underneath for the full breakfast treatment.

>>12196690
They only moved here about 20 years ago, it's still basically the same stuff they made over there, the capsicum dip sauce, cevapi, their neat little pastries, it's not even really passed the "my old dead grandma made them this way" stage, the old grandmas are still mostly around.

>>12196008
they are similar but different. anzacs have golden syrup in them, and they use rolled oats instead of oatmeal. there's also no eggs. anzacs are much closer to the british version of a biscuit compared to the american notion of a cookie.

>>12196762
>Is it considered a slur?
It is very much a slur. if you aren't black then calling someone an abbo is like 97% of the way to just calling them a nigger. what the reaction will be depends on where you are, but it's better to just not say it at all.

>>12194291
Well we definitely like our seafood.

Other than that I couldn't really tell you.

>>12197068
Then what do you call them? Is black fella acceptable?

>>12197091
to be fair 99% of white people in australia have nothing to do with abbos so you usually are only interacting with one at a time so their name I guess.

>>12197091
Call them whatever the fuck you want, you're just going to get "yeah ight mate can I get sum bus change just need $5" in return.

>>12194291
basically simmilar to NZ cuisine

>>except: pavlova wasnt australian. it was written in her diary that she was served the desert in NZ!

australia does this takes credit for a kiwis work.

pies are a truely thing that kiwis and aussies share they think we are weird for liking cheese in our pies

a pie isnt the size a dinner plate. its about the round-ness of a mug filled with a savoury filling in gravy such as mince or steak.

the other thing that difference is you can have flavours like emu or crocodile

the other thing aussies have embraced is vietnamese and lebonese food.

their four n twenty pies taste ghastly. at least kiwi have a pie awards for the best bakery

you either like vegemite or marmite
>>yes there is a difference

we have the filled roll: long roll filled with meat and salad eg
>>ham, lettuce, cheese, tomato, slither of boiled egg sometimes beetroot and mayonaise.

pic related called the long cream donut

the corndog is a hot dog, the hot dog is a american hotdog and is boiled but not grilled.

grilling is BBQ. bbq is called meat smoking.

>https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/what-is-fairy-bread-australian-snack-article
Why are Americans so obsessed with fairy bread? It's a shitty cheap bread with shitty sprinkles and butter for lazy people to give their kids as a treat.

>>12197233
Because it's kinda weird, where-as the rest of it is just kinda there. Lamingtons and anzac biscuits might be infinitely more common but visually they're not too striking.

>>12197233
yes its sugar on bread but 5 and 6 year olds dont really care what their eating...

nigga it's australia, you can't keep butter or margarine outside because it'll fucking melt and get ruined. so you have to keep in the fridge which means it doesn't spread.

The convict population was heavily displaced during the gold rush, btw. The rush of immigration basically nudged the prisoners out of existence. Then most of their descendents were culled during WWI, leaving very little of our proud prisoner ancestry.

As far as I can tell Australian cuisine is actually BACKWARDS from British cuisine. There's stuff in the homeland that is very rare or does not exist here.
Although it's always possible some of those things were invented and popularized after we left.
We don't have developed cuisine as much as we have a historical tradition of cheap, good quality meat and fish.
Real "meat and two veg" culture.

>>12201732
>our proud prisoner ancestry.

I have to push back on that. While the convict ancestry stuff gets heavily exaggerated in seppo banter and by Muslim on ABC and SBS programs it may also be that a lot of people simply chose to forget or suppress their convict ancestry simply because no one was proud of that. It's my understanding that it was historically embarrassing to have convict ancestors.

>>12201709
Yeah, it was delicious too
