“ A fresh vibrant and innovative cuisine featuring the diversity of Australian inland and coastal
produce and reflecting our relaxed outdoor lifestyle”.
Yes, I agree with the statement which has been considered while referring to Aussie cuisine.
The reasons behind agreeing with this statement are the following:
Reason one:
Ingredients are brought to Australia by immigrants. Aussie cuisine itself refers to the food
and cooking practice of Australia and its inhabitants. As discussed by Anderson and Benbow
(2015), Australia has a unique blend of culinary distribution as well as an adaptation from the
various culture such as Asians, Europeans, Pacific islands (Nair, 2017). When Australian
embraced immigrants that were coming from outside of Australia, they also embraced their
culture cooking practice specific ingredients and other cultural norms associated with food
(Lynch, 2017). This multicultural influence reflected through food and cooking practice (Cover,
2015). Hence, Aussie cuisine represents the diversity of Australia.
Reason two:
While the diversity of Australia reflected through the immigrant's ingredients, Indigenous
Australian ingredients are also part of this cuisine, reflect the diversity of inland (Anderson &
Benbow, 2015). Indigenous Australians lived in native flora and fauna of Australia over 60,000
years and they have unique collection food and cooking practice and culture which is called bush
tucker, a unique feature of Aussie cuisine (Zong, 2016). It was observed that bush tucker consists
of resource such as lemon myrtle, mountain pepper, and aniseed myrtle, kangaroo, emu,
crocodile, witchetty which are part of Aussie cuisine (Timothy, 2015). Hence, this statement is
correct.
