National Dishes - Kimchi, Irish Stew, etc.

[Foreigner]

I suppose each country can identify itself with a national dish. Maybe some strange ones. Here's a list of 10 national dishes:

Apparently the national dish of England is now Chicken Tikka Masala! I guess that's an example of Internationalism.

What's Australia's?

I'm struggling to think of a uniquely Australian dish that could be considered to be worthy of "national dish" status. Pavlova's New Zealand, Roast Lamb British, and I think we can do better than a Meat Pie.

I've come across this site which (over three pages) lists national dishes. It's a fairer list with several of each country. And you're right about chicken tikka masala...there it is under England's.

Anybody wanting to taste the BEST Irish Stew of all time try the Beef and Guinness Stew at the Brewers Dining Hall whilst doing the tour of the Guinness Storehouse in DUB - http://www.guinness-storehouse.com/en/Restaurants_Brewers_Dining_Hall.aspx

I associate roast lamb with Australia, roast beef as British.

Wichity grubs???

We're a relatively young country and brought most of the food we routinely eat to this country from others, so no surprise we don't have a distinctive national dish...

In some ways it also makes us freer to take the best bits from a whole range of cuisines and mix and match them rather than being stuck within the confines of some traditional way of cooking...

Easy. The pie floater.

Yip - just bung the dogs eye into some pea soup ...

If Poland can have Bigos, then there is no shame in Australia having the Chiko Roll as a national dish.

 

[Warks]

Australian hamburgers as opposed to American etc would be a fair example.

With the lot of course. (cue comments about how pineapple is an obscenity on a burger...)

Don't forget the dead horse.

Well we do put egg on pizza.

May well be uniquely Australian, but is far from a national dish. Certainly not something I'd ever seen or even heard of growing up in Victoria at least until I visited Adelaide for the first time.

See, word is spreading.

Meat pie will do as Australia's national dish.

Isn't Beetroot in hamburgers a uniquely Australian addition?
