Food is a major part of common culture. Everyone loves it and, of course, it keeps us alive. If you have ever gone to an international fair as a kid, you have experienced how food can be different across the world. Each dish seems to express and define what the country is like in a strange and sometimes unfair way. It is no surprise that food is important to people around the world.
Now it's time to look at the average Australian. In their lifetime, they can expect to eat 17 beef cattle, 92 sheep, 406 loaves of bread, half a ton of cheese, ten tons of vegetables, and 165,000 eggs. Searching vigorously through the recipes, I found one that sounded appetizing, the Lamington Sponge Cake. The recipe is included below:
3 eggs
1/2 cup castor sugar
3/4 cup self-raising flour
1/4 cup cornflour1
5g (1/2oz) butter
3 tablespoons hot water
Beat eggs until thick and creamy. Gradually add sugar. Continue beating until sugar completely dissolved. Fold in sifted flour and cornflour, then combined water and butter. Pour mixture into prepared lamington tin. Bake for 30 minutes. Top with chocolate icing and coconut. (http://www.aussie-info.com/identity/food/lamington.php)
Good luck cooking and enjoy the Australian dessert!
