Introduction to the Diet Culture of Studying Abroad in Australia

Australia's diet is mainly cold food, with only a small amount of hot food at dinner. This is because Australia is located in the southern hemisphere and the weather is mild. However, the overall climate in China is rather cold, and we seldom eat cold food. Unlike Chinese food, which pays attention to taste, Australians pay more attention to nutrition collocation and pay attention to quantity and quality. Therefore, Australian food is very simple. The diet problem of studying in Australia is a problem that international students can't ignore, and it is also the most concerned issue for international students.

Breakfast

The traditional Australian breakfast mainly consists of cereal, toast, jam, milk coffee, etc. Some families also cook cooked food such as ham, eggs and sausages with a small amount of fruit. However, with the accelerated pace of life, the combination of milk and bread or biscuits has become the most typical Australian breakfast mode. People usually spread various jams on bread, such as butter jam, chocolate jam and peanut butter.

Lunch

The lunch of Australians is also very simple, usually just a Pie, a hamburger or a sandwich with some fruits, such as bananas and apples, because there is no rest at noon in Australia, and there is no separate lunch time. At most, there will only be half an hour to take turns to eat, so the solution of lunch will become particularly hasty and casual. Therefore, McDonald's, KFC, Red Rooster, Hungry Jack? Western fast food such as S, Italian Pizza is very common in Australia, and small coffee sandwich shops can be seen everywhere in the gathering area of office buildings. During normal working hours, these places will become the first choice for Australians to have lunch. People who go to work and school will also bring their own lunch, but the contents in the lunch box are roughly the same. I made a sandwich with vegetables and meat in advance, plus a portion of fruit.

Dinner

On weekdays, Australians are in a hurry for breakfast and lunch, so that the whole family can enjoy a real meal slowly at dinner. Dinner time for Australian families is usually from 6 pm to 7: 3 pm, and more formal Australian dinners are mainly divided into appetizers, main courses and desserts. The first meal is mainly soup, and the main course is steak, pasta and fried eggs made of beef and mutton, accompanied by vegetable salad. After dinner, some cakes, baked biscuits and snacks such as fruit after dinner will be provided. In addition, cheese and caviar are also common foods on the Australian table.

Precautions when eating

Every noon, you can see people who solve lunch in various places in Australia, such as benches in shopping centers, lawns in parks, roadside construction sites and so on. However, eating at will is not allowed in some public places. The hospital can't eat anything except the dining area. Schools are not allowed to eat in the classroom. In addition, you can't eat bread, rice and other foods on buses in Australia, but snacks and water are allowed. Although there is no strict requirement on the train, it is very inappropriate to eat with strong-smelling food on the train.
