When people hear Western food, they automatically think of Texas and cowboys. Not always so. Western food is a term generally referred to the food in Europe and Western nations, including Australia, which has one of the most diverse customs in the world. When it comes to the culinary scene, Australia is very multicultural, bearing Western cooking and other influences.

Because most of Australia's story is founded on the traditional British cuisine brought to the country by the first British settlers, Western food in the nation is very rampant. One can find hams and steaks very popular in the food scene.

Breakfast in Australia is similar to breakfast in many Western nations. A light meal generally consists of toast, fruits, and cereals, while a heavier breakfast is similar to a total English breakfast of sausage, hash browns, eggs, and bacon. For the beverages, it may include milk, juice, coffee, or tea.

Lunch and dinner in Australia is in general very Western-like. Although meals vary according to the family's background, common choices include roast meat, pasta, pizza, casseroles, vegetables, and barbecue. Viewed outback food includes steaks, grilled rib-eye, and lamb chops among others.

Just like other Western nations, Australia also has a wide selection of takeout snacks. Fish and chips, which is also associated with other countries, such as U.S. and England, is a favorite takeout food. Burgers, sausage rolls and meat pies are also popular takeout food selections.

Also popular in Australia are American fast food eateries, such as Pizza Hut, KFC, McDonald's, and Subway.

There are foods that keep its Australian touch while viewed as Western at the same time, such as the popular breakfast product Vegemite, a salty toast spread; pavlova cake and ANZAC biscuits; both of which are also being claimed as New Zealand creations; kangaroo meat; and meat pies.

As Australia, a former Western settlement, is greatly shaped by its first British colonists back in the days, Western food in the country is pretty predominant. It is able to retain its native taste and iconic foods even though its culinary scene is molded by its settlers of different stocks. - 24553
