MEAT PIES

Australians eat meat pies for a quick lunch when they’re out. They’re not very healthy. An old-fashioned way of eating a pie is on top of lots of tomato sauce and peas.

PAVLOVA

You know Pavlova, don’t you? It’s a big meringue with cream and fruit – yum! But did you know that it’s an Australian dessert? Anna Pavlova, the famous Russian dancer, was in Australia. When the chef saw the meringue, he thought of Pavlova’s skirt when she danced so he called his dessert Pavlova.

WITCHETTY GRUBS

Do you have a strong stomach? Yes? Why don’t you try witchetty grubs? Witchetty grubs are caterpillars that are as big as your finger and you eat them alive. They are Aboriginal food but now you can see them on restaurant menus and in supermarkets all over Australia.

LAMINGTON CAKE

Lamington Cake is a chocolate and coconut covered cake. People began making Lamington Cake because a farmer’s wife thought of covering her cakes with chocolate to stop them becoming dry and old.

HONEY ANTS

Are you brave enough to try honey ants? These are ants with big abdoments that taste of honey. Delicious!
