As Australia was a collection of British colonies, so the culinary tastes are strongly influenced by the Commonwealth traditions, British and Irish characteristics mixed with the indigenous ‘Bushfood’ (Aboriginal food), so the meals are prepared from a wide selection of beef and lamb to the kangaroo or even crocodile meat.
