Introduction
Australia is one of the most unique countries in the world. While it may not be as well-known as other developed nations, it has plenty to offer any visitor who’s looking for an adventure. From outback deserts to thriving metropolises and everything in between, Australia has a lot to offer its inhabitants and visitors alike. One thing you won’t want to miss while visiting this great country is its food!
Getting local food and drink
- Drink water.
- Drink alcohol in moderation.
- Drink coffee, tea and juice.
- Milk is fine to drink if you are lactose intolerant but it’s not essential for your health and can be high in fat if you’re choosing full-fat varieties of milk products like cream or ice cream (which we don’t recommend). Try almond milk instead! It contains less calories than regular cow’s milk but has similar nutrients like protein, calcium and vitamin D. If you have trouble digesting lactose then try taking an enzyme tablet with every meal containing dairy products such as cheese or yoghurt as this will help break down the sugars found in these foods which would otherwise cause discomfort when digested by your body
Traditional Australian cuisine
Australian cuisine is a fusion of various cuisines, most notably British, Irish, Aboriginal and Asian. Australian foods has been heavily influenced by the country’s native wildlife that can be found in abundance on its landmass.
The traditional Australian diet is largely composed of meat (beef and pork), fish and seafood with some vegetables incorporated into meals for additional nutrients. It’s known for its emphasis on fresh produce and simple preparation methods such as barbecuing or chargrilling over an open flame. When it comes to desserts there’s nothing better than pavlova – an egg-based meringue dessert topped with whipped cream and fruit such as strawberries or kiwi fruit slices!
