Barbecues
The iconic image of Australian eating is that of a barbecue under sunny skies. Most homes have a barbecue and they can also be found at beaches, in camping and caravan parks and on business sites. The type of food cooked on barbecues has changed with Australian tastes. Traditional choices such as chops or sausages are being replaced with marinated steaks and fresh seafood served with gourmet salads and wine. Barbecues are also becoming increasingly popular as a Christmas meal rather than the traditional British style meal of roast turkey and vegetables.
