Pavlova, lamingtons, biscoitos ANZAC – receitas icônicas de lá.
A culinária australiana combina a cultura alimentar contínua mais antiga do mundo com uma de suas mais novas cozinhas nacionais. Os povos aborígenes colhem e gerenciam ingredientes nativos há mais de 60.000 anos - canguru, ema, larvas de bruxa e alimentos do mato, como acácia, murta-limão, lima e ameixa Kakadu, a fonte natural de vitamina C mais rica do mundo. A colonização britânica impôs uma dieta de carne e trigo (assados, tortas, pão úmido), e a torta de carne, Vegemite, lamingtons, biscoitos ANZAC e pavlova – disputada com a Nova Zelândia – tornou-se o cânone dos colonizadores.
A migração pós-guerra reescreveu o cardápio. As chegadas de gregos e italianos construíram a cultura do café e do expresso e normalizaram o azeite, os frutos do mar e os produtos frescos; o fim da política da Austrália Branca pós-década de 1970 trouxe comunidades vietnamitas, tailandesas, chinesas, libanesas e indianas cuja comida agora é consumida todos os dias. A culinária australiana moderna ('Mod Oz'), surgida em Sydney e Melbourne na década de 1990, funde sabores asiáticos com técnica europeia e frutos do mar locais - barramundi, ostras de Sydney, insetos de Moreton Bay - e incorpora cada vez mais ingredientes nativos.
A comida caseira é centrada no churrasco: a 'barbie' de salsichas (protuberâncias), costeletas de cordeiro e camarões do quintal é a refeição social padrão, e os chiados de salsicha são uma instituição cívica. A cultura do brunch é indiscutivelmente o produto de exportação culinário mais forte da Austrália – brancos achatados, abacate esmagado com massa fermentada – enquanto o cordeiro assado de domingo persiste com raízes britânicas. Os padrões do café são elevados; a cadeia de café expresso luta contra os cafés independentes.

A culinária australiana é conhecida pela cultura do churrasco, tortas de carne, Vegemite, lamingtons, pavlova, cordeiro assado e cultura excepcional de café e brunch - a torrada de abacate branca e esmagada são exportações australianas. A culinária australiana moderna combina influências asiáticas e mediterrâneas com frutos do mar locais, como barramundi, e apresenta cada vez mais ingredientes nativos, como murta-limão, semente de acácia e lima.
Alimentos do mato são ingredientes usados pelos povos aborígenes há dezenas de milhares de anos: carne de canguru e emu, semente de acácia (noz, semelhante a café quando torrada), murta-limão (folha cítrica intensa), lima (pérolas de 'caviar cítrico'), ameixa Kakadu (extremamente rica em vitamina C), quandong, erva-salgada e pimenta. Restaurantes modernos e cozinheiros domésticos os usam em tudo, desde temperos até sobremesas.
A comida australiana começou como culinária dos colonos britânicos – ainda restam assados, tortas, peixes e batatas fritas – mas divergiu devido ao clima e à migração. O churrasco ao ar livre substituiu grande parte da torrefação interna, a imigração grega, italiana e asiática tornou os sabores do Mediterrâneo e do Sudeste Asiático básicos do dia a dia, e a cultura do café excede em muito a da Grã-Bretanha. Ingredientes nativos e um estilo mais leve e orientado para a produção agora definem a diferença.
Uma clássica torta de carne com carne e molho em massa quebrada cobre o ícone nacional. O cordeiro assado com alecrim e alho é simples e tradicional. Os biscoitos ANZAC – aveia, xarope dourado, coco – são quase infalíveis, e a pavlova requer apenas paciência com merengue. Para uma experiência completa, grelhe camarões e camarões ao ar livre e sirva com saladas simples.
Ambos os países afirmam isso, e os historiadores da alimentação ainda discutem. A sobremesa de merengue com creme e frutas leva o nome da bailarina Anna Pavlova, que viajou pelos dois países em 1926. Receitas documentadas da Nova Zelândia aparecem um pouco antes, o que muitos pesquisadores aceitam, mas a sobremesa é uma presença constante nas mesas de Natal australianas de qualquer maneira. A disputa agora é principalmente rivalidade afetiva.
