How Western Food And Asian Cuisine Influence Australia ...

How Western Food And Asian Cuisine Influence Australia

                        Western food is not just burgers and fries. They are a big part of it, true, but Western food involves much more than that. The menu doesn’t just involve fast food items that we think are from the United States. Western food also involves fares from Europe or from the non-indigenous area of North America, Latin America, Oceania, and Australia.
                       
                        Western food can also be Australian fare. This is because the cuisine Down Under was formed by the individuals who settled in the country, which were composed of the British settlers in the late 18th century. Therefore, Australian dishes began to reflect the influences of Western food along with Asian cultures.

                         But of course, aside from Western food, Australia still keeps dishes that are viewed as indigenous and popular to them. Unmistakably Aussie foods include the breakfast food Vegemite, the popular take-away snack fish and chips, the ANZAC biscuits, and the pavlova cake, all are viewed as national foods but also have origins in New Zealand.

                         Dishes that are considered Western in style in the country include those that are also seen in other countries, such as grilled rib-eye, burgers, fries, baked lamb shank, grilled fish, grilled chicken, pizza, pasta, and fried chicken.

                         Asian food also have penetrated the nation. The differences between Western and Asian dishes are apparent. While meat is lavishly used in Western fare, it is only a part of a meal in Asian cooking. Asian foods serve meats in same or lesser ratios than the other ingredients, while in Western cuisine, they are the main star of the show.
  
                         Rice is thought of as a side dish in Western fare. They are classified alongside corn on the cob, steamed vegetables, and mashed potatoes. But in Asian menu, they are the main part. If rice is not available, then noodles should be.

                         In both Asian and Western cuisine, condiments are a must. Gravy, soy sauce, mustard, vinegar, and catsup are all part of the table setting during meals.

                          But perhaps the most recognizable difference between Asian and Western cuisine is the portion sizes. Serving size in Western dishes is ordinarily and substantially more plentiful than the conventional Asian cooking.

                        These differences and much more are notable when eating in a place where diversity is noticeable like Australia.
