Monday Dance Class: Aussie Bites!

FIVE (count 'em) Australian delicacies to look forward to (12 weeks to go!):

1. Meat Pie. Statistics: 260 million pies are consumed every year in Australia. Of those, approx 62% are filled with chopped steak.  Just 2% are filled with chicken!
2. Barramundi. An 'Australis' fish.  Good for you. Check out the link:http://www.thebetterfish.com/recipe/Barramundi_and_Lemon_Butter_
3. Shrimp on the Barbie. Ok, My mouth is watering for warm summer evenings and good smells wafting off the grill.
4. ANZAC Biscuits. ANZAC is the  acronym for Australia and NewZealand Army Corp.  Apparently the Army makes really good biscuits! Photo right, recipe tomorrow.
5. AND, last but not least: VEGEMITE! Perhaps it's an acquired taste? Maybe, like PB&J, it helps if you grow up with it?! All I know is that our Aussie dancers visiting in December were homesick for it. This yeasty spread seems to be the quintessential Australian comfort food.
