Looking for simple Australian recipe
-
I know we are not supposed to ask for homework help in the Lounge, but I'm hoping you'll make an exception since this is for my 7 year old son :-) Long story short my son is doing a presentation on Australia and it is supposed to include an example of typical cuisine. My wife has tried googling but claims the only thing she could come up with were packaged products to buy and she was hoping for something that she could actually make. So now I'm off to google for myself, but of course my first thought was to stop in here and see if you guys could offer up a simple recipe or two that could be made in a typical american kitchen. Thanks in advance for any help, Dave :-) Rocket science is more fun when you actually have rockets - US Navy ad

Man, one of these days I'm going to have to teach my wife how to google .. I found tons of stuff out there. Of course, I'd still be really interested in what you guys have to offer. ( Especially if you have a good dessert recipe :-) ) Rocket science is more fun when you actually have rockets - US Navy ad

Yeah, pavlova is definately the go for an aussie dessert. The topping would ALWAYS involve tinned passionfruit, and often have strawberries or banana ( nothing else ). Anzac[^] biscuits are always popular, I don't like them, but I think that lamingtons are Australian. They just sponge cake dipped in chocolate and coated in coconut. Peach Melba[^] is the other 'Aussie' dessert, but I've never known anyone to eat it, or any restaurant to sell it, ever in my life. The other way to Aussify something is to take a recipe that uses nuts and substitute Macadamias. Macadamia and mango cheesecake is always nice. But, Pavlova is definately the nicest of the ones that we're known for. It's ridiculously easy to make, just make sure you don't open the oven while it's cooking, or it can sink. Another nice variation is to make the pav, and form it like a bowl, then make chocolate mousee with the leftover yolks and put that in it instead of cream/fruit. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

It seems nowadays that no matter where I post, while I am googling for links, someone else posts the same thing. My mate in Texas asked me about these the other day, goodness knows where he found them, I've never seen any when I'm over there. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

What's so special about an american kitchen? They got a nuclear powered oven? :laugh:

My observation would be that they are clean because they are hardly used. The other thing I guess is they can't make vegimite and cheese scrolls very easily, or anything that requires real chocolate. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Heh :laugh: The only part of my kitchen that gets used is the dishwasher and the microwave. My stove is pristine - never used!

Well ours is a constant mess. We eat out maybe one time a week. We both (Deanna and I.) think restaurant food is horrid. Way better food at home.

Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog [ ^ ] now.People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog[^]CPhog. The act of using CPhog (Firefox)[^] alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog (Firefox)[^] and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)

OK, well, I admit to having a small sample group, but what I have confirms what I've heard, that people in the US tend to eat out. I eat 3 meals out a day most of the time I am in Texas. I have to say, I've had no complaints about the quality of food. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

It depends on where you are, and how much you're willing to pay. Most towns over a certain size will have restaurants that serve decent food for a decent price, but smaller towns often have little beyond fast-food. I rarely eat out any more - it either gets too expensive, or you fall into bad eating habits. I do, however, make an exception for pizza. :)

A pretty basic one most Aussie kids could cook (apart from ANZAC biscuits, Pavlova etc) would be a 'Damper' - its an outback bread, typically cooked in a round oven in the coals of a fire .... but in the oven is ok too ... best link I could find is http://fooddownunder.com/cgi-bin/recipe.cgi?r=12350[^] 'g'

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: My wife is so prone to say 'let's eat out'. Tonight I cut her off at the pass by offering to cook rissoles! I record that rissoles are a sure fire success with my American family though I note that not a one of them wants to learn how to make em. Falls to me every time. I've half weaned em off ketchup - they always use tomato sauce with rissoles - we buy Rosella from a supply store in Arkansas :-) Is that weird or what?
