After drinking and dancing you end the night with a meat pie in your hand, sitting on the pavement waiting for your taxi to go home. It’s also a good snack after a long night of partying (better than a kebab!). There are even specialty pie shops! Australians have many different savoury pies you can buy, however they are usually stuffed with minced meat, gravy, mushrooms, onions and cheese. Pies are a popular snack to eat on the go and almost every corner shop, bakery and supermarket will have a display case with lots of hot meaty pies to choose from. Meat Piesįor most Americans this next popular Australian food is very peculiar (it was even an eating challenge on one season of the Amazing Race and the competitors were retching because they thought it was so disgusting!) So what is this food that Americans think is so awful? It’s the classic Aussie Meat Pie! (I know… for a lot of us it’s not that strange a concept, however Americans are used to their pies having fruit in them and eating them as dessert so I suppose it is a bit weird to eat a meaty dessert!) Then before it gets too soggy, and falls into your drink, you eat the soft, gooey (warm!) chocolatey goodness. Use the Tim Tam as a straw and suck the drink through the biscuit.

Australians also eat it with avocado, melted cheese or tomato. The most popular way to eat it is on bread or toast with butter. It’s a bit like marmite in the UK which had the famous love it or hate it advert as they acknowledged that it’s not to everyones taste. So what is Vegemite? Vegemite is a dark brown paste made from various vegetables, yeast extract and spice additives. Vegemite is the most common one that ‘foreigners’ discover, and more often than not, hate! No matter how many people tell you it’s disgusting you should try it at least once. While you’re here you really should try some of it! From meat you don’t normally find in other supermarkets to chocolate biscuits, to the most common Australian food you should try even though, in my opinion, you probably shouldn’t because some of it is disgusting (Vegemite I’m looking at you!)
