Lamingtons are the traditional Aussie dessert of choice here-a sponge cake with chocolate icing covered in coconut. All kids like this one!
Vegemite is a paste made from yeast extract. It is very popular on toast, in sandwiches or with crackers. It has a salty taste and is dark brown in color. You buy it in a jar like jam! This makes a great souvenir to bring home.
Wedges are of course not a truly Australian dish, but these spiced potato wedges are served at lots of restaurants and cafes. My kids couldn't get enough of them. They are served with a variety of dipping sauces including aioli and sweet chili. Makes a great snack!
Fresh Seafood dishes are popular at the local restaurants. Oysters, fish, and shell fish are commonly served. With such a huge coastline-you will find plenty of tasty fresh seafood entrées.
Australian Fruit makes a great snack for the kids. Check out the local markets for the fruit that is in season. Mangoes, cherries, papayas and pineapples will make a great treat.
