What do people in Australia eat for breakfast?

Answer 1

People in Australia eat variations on the theme of cereal, porridge, muesli and/or toast for breakfast. Popular toast spreads include vegemite, cheese, peanut paste, jams and marmalades. Some healthy Australians eat fruit and yoghurt for breakfast.

Cooked breakfasts are also popular at cafes on weekends. These might be bacon and eggs, Eggs Benedict, pancakes, hotcakes, sausages and eggs, etc. Takeaway bacon and egg rolls or muffins from McDonalds or Hungry Jacks are also very popular.

In general, Australians have the same diet as people in other Western nations such as the US. The culture is diverse, and this is reflected in the cuisine.

Barbecues and a relaxed style of entertaining, favoring an abundance of salads and fresh produce which are available year round in Australia's climate. The major fast food chains as found in other countries around the world are well patronised too, by both young and old.

There are a couple of dishes that Australians have on occasion that may not be familiar. One is Pavlova, a dessert of fruit and cream served on a meringue case. Another popular morning tea snack food is lamington, a sponge cake covered with melted chocolate and dipped in desiccated coconut. Lamingtons may be served as small square blocks, or in a large round cake, sometimes with a jam and cream layer.

A staple food from the past is damper, a simple bread made from flour, salt and water and baked in the coals of a fire. A traditional "bush" food, it is now usually reserved for fun when out camping or around a campfire on the beach or in a park.

Even the indigenous Australians on the whole do not eat their traditional foods as a staple diet. Bush foods, such as wattle (acacia) seeds and witchetty grubs, have become a delicacy available in top restaurants but are not in mainstream consumption.

Australians are very multicultural; they eat a lot of different foods. Australians are some of the largest consumers of meat in the world and the quality is extremely high. Meats consist mainly of beef, lamb, chicken and pork. There is a large variety of vegetables available, as well as potatoes and rice. Sea food is more expensive but nevertheless widely used by most Australians. Other foods include:pastas, pastries, fresh fruits & vegetables. Australians like other cultural foods such as Chinese, Thai, Italian, Mexican and so on. They also enjoy the good old British fish and chips, and meat pies.

Kangaroo meat has become readily available in supermarkets, but for most Australians, it is not part of their everyday fare. It is an acquired taste, and only a small percentage of Australians have acquired that taste ...

Not sure about the rest of Asia, but in Australia we eat everything from cereals, porridge, toast to cooked food like eggs and bacon. In Japan some years ago, I ate rice, seaweed, pickles and soup for breakfast. "Australasia" is a very broad term, and covers a multitude of different cultures, who probably all have their own breakfast foods.

Australians are just like other people all over the world. They all have different tastes and food preferances. They are normal people, just like everyone else. Examples of foods which are nationally specific to Australia (but not necessarily enjoyed by all Australians) are Vegemite, which is a spread made predominately from yeast extracts and Pavlova, which is a meraingue based desert topped with cream and fruit.
