Okay I know there are probably more important things I should blogging about e.g. Wordle but it has come to my attention there are Outback Steakhouses in USA that some Americans believe serve food that reflects Aussie cuisine (thanks to Jennifer Jones for providing the link in twitter).
Now in all fairness Outback Steakhouses about information does say “Big, bold food made fresh everyday accompanied by a laid back ‘no worries’ Aussie attitude”. I will need to visit to see if service is a laid back ‘no worries’ Aussie attitude” (which is unlikely to happen) but their food doesn’t look like what we would call Aussie food.
Meanwhile its clear we need to provide so more education on Aussies.
Now Kate Foy response to Outback Steakhouse was:
EEEEK! “Buffalo wings, shrimp!” What are these? Aussie food indeed. Tell ’em they’re dreaming.
The saying “Tell ’em they’re dreaming” is an Aussies saying most remembered from the classic Australian film The Castle (check out The Castle Part 1 and Part 2).
FINAL THOUGHTS
What other videos/information do you suggest they check out to learn more about Australia?
Also please share your thoughts on true Aussie food because at the moment (according to Christine Martell) large numbers of Americans believe Aussies eat greasy onions all the time; and they celebrate Aussies by eating them too.
