If you’re wondering what to eat in Australia, you can’t miss the classic parmigiana. While this beloved pub staple was influenced by Italian cuisine, the ‘chicken parmy’ has been well and truly Australianised. Made with breaded chicken coated in tomato and cheese and oven-baked and served with chips and salad, you can’t go past the parmy.

It’s the most iconic yet controversial of Australian foods - and tasting vegemite has got to be on your Australia bucket list. It’s a thick, dark brown, salty spread made from brewers’ yeast extract, and while it might sound strange, the trick is in the serving size. Spread it thinly over a slice of hot toast and butter, and you’ll quickly see why Australians love vegemite.
