Australian English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The widespread desire among Australians to avoid pomposity, leading to a rejection of even formal or dignified speech, is sometimes seen as reflecting a suspicion of success in general, a phenomenon sometimes known as the tall poppy syndrome. Many Australians believe themselves to be direct in manner, and this is typified by statements such as "why call a spade a spade, when you can call it a bloody shovel". "Shrimp" is an American term — they are called prawns in Australia— and though prawns were often served at Australian barbecues the prawns themselves were not barbecued but had invariably been steamed. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Australian_English   (3078 words)

Margarita's Australian Menu When I think of Australian "cuisine" (and I put it in quotation marks because I don't think of Australian "cuisine" as such), what comes to mind is beef, lamb and shrimp on the barbie. An internet search and visits to various sites that discuss Australian cuisine showed me that the culinary prowess of our Aussie friends go further than that - they have, for example, incorporated many south-east Asian dishes and flavors into their repertoire - but they still heavily rely on meat. Finding a vegetarian appetizer also did not prove easy, and I'm still not sure how "authentic" it is. The other elements of the meal, however, were very Australian. www.marga.org /food/int/australia   (203 words)
