  • Aussie Pies - Sydney
    Aussie Pies
    by b1bob

    From a foreign perspective, it seems to me that Aussie pies are the best-known example of Aussie cuisine. For the benefit of those from Roxboro, Aussie pies hand-held savoury pastries made with all manner of meat, carrots, English peas, potatoes, and possibly other vegetables. It's rather like the American pot pie, but this can be hand held. Mind the filling as it could be hot.

    Drinks and Food: A Burger With 'The Works'

  • That early morning burger that we had on our way north toward Newcastle (see Hotels) was our first experience of what it means to order a hamburger with 'The Works' when in Aussie. In this particular case, the hamburger comes sandwiched with a fried egg and a slice of beet. Talk about delicious - it was tasty!

  • BBQ at roof of Harbour City Hostel - Sydney
    BBQ at roof of Harbour City
    Hostel
    by martin_nl

    The Australian BBQ is world famous, not exactly sure why, but it probably has something to do that aussie's love meat and that it's ALWAYS nice weather (well that's stereotypical) and thus great to sit outside, and what better than a bbq outside in the sunshine with a cold beer? When in Sydney many hostels in the summer season organise roof top bbq's. If not organise one yourslef, like we did one night at the Harbour City Backpackers. Just get some money off everyone to buy the meat and some sauces and salads and start cooking! To see the view from the rooftop of Harbour City backpackers see my accommodation tip.

    If you are a chocolate fan, you CANNOT miss out on trying the famous Aussie favourite, a TIM TAM. Basically this is a rather decadent rectangular shaped chocolate biscuit, with 2 layers of chocolate biscuit with a chocolate cream filling in the middle, all covered in chocolate. absolutely delicious. You can buy them in any supermarket. You can either eat them straight from the packet, or alternatively you can do the 'Tim Tam straw'. What is a tim tam straw you ask?? ;) Basically, this is what you do: 1. Bite opposite corners off each end of a tim tam 2. Stick one corner of the tim tam in a cup of tea or coffee or milk 3. Put your lips to the other corner of the tim tam 4. SUCK!!!! Until you get liquid in your mouth 5. QUICKLY!!! Put the other end of the tim tam in your mouth - I mean QUICK!... because there could be a bloody big mess if you don't do it quickly ;) 6. Enjoy the chocolate explosion tantalising your tastebuds As you can see in the pic, when Jennifer Love Hewitt visited Australia recently, she raved on about our tim tams and even did the tim tam straw on national TV with TV host, Rove McMannus. ha ha ! ... good to see the girl enjoys her choccie!

  • Yes I know its from Victoria. But even in NSW I prefer this beer. VB. It is a favorite of mine when I travel. There are many other fine Australian beers to try out too. Go forth and find your favorite.

    If you're going to somebody's house they will probably tell you BYO. So you should know this means that you have to take something to drink. Of course buy something to share, don't take just a beer for you alone!

  • BYO = Bring your own... you often see this written on restaurant signs and in ads... Also if you are invited to a party unless you are told otherwise you should take your own alcohol... if its a dinner take a bottle of wine for the host.

  • If you see this sign on a restaurant window, this means that a patron can bring along their favourite plonk to the restaurant. However some restaurants charge corkage. Most Sydney restaurants are BYO.

  • The SHOUT. Buying the next round of beers. Its honorable to 'shout' friends once they've bought you beer in the earlier round. Not 'shouting' is shameful and you'll be treated like a paraiah.
