Australia doesn't have an official national food. Some would say the most popular dish in Australia is fish and chips, which Americans know as batter fried fish and French fries. Another dish in Australia that has become very popular is salt and pepper squid.
Prawns (shrimps) on the barbie (barbecue) is probably the most well-known Australian dish.
Australians very rarely cook prawns on the barbecue.
Common Australian foods include other barbecued meats, particularly steaks, sausages ("snags") and lamb chops. They also enjoy fish and chips.
Lamingtons are favourite morning tea/afternoon tea fare.
Arguably, the humble barbeque is one of the most popular means of cooking, so this can include steak, sausages or chops with chips and salad.
