Visit Australia and taste......

                                              Australian delicacies

We are taking a look at what Australians love to eat, so when next you visit ensure you have a taste of any of these:

1. Crocodile

Although crocodile leather is made into wallets, belts and handbags, its meat is consumed by locals -- though it’s definitely more of a delicacy and not widespread.

2. Emu


The Australian native animal works well when smoked and served cold or as a pizza topping. Emu actually has a few times the iron content of beef. It’s virtually fat-free and is low in cholesterol.

3. Barramundi



Perhaps the most Australian of all fish varieties, Barramundi gets its name from the Aboriginal language meaning “large-scaled river fish.” It's served in restaurants across the country.
Best pan-fried or seared skin-side first (rarely battered or deep fried), it’s often dished up as a fish steak with a herbed oil.

4. Hamburger with beetroot



Place the lamb in the bowl of a food processor with half the onion, the garlic, parsley, 2 teaspoons of the cumin and 1/4 cup of the mint. Pulse until the mixture just comes together. Season with salt and pepper and form into 4 patties. Cut beetroot into small cubes.

5. Pea and ham soup



Place split peas, ham bone, carrots, onion, celery, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper into a large pot; pour in water. Bring mixture to a boil and skim off any foam with a spoon. ...

Remove ham bone from soup; strip meat from ham bone, chop meat, and return it to the pot.
