African Food Culture
In general, Africans live in rural areas, particularly those people who live in western, eastern, and southern Africa. Many villagers are subsistent farmers, which means that they live almost entirely off of the food that they grow themselves. Fast food restaurants and supermarkets, as we know them, do not exist in most of Africa. People sell clothing, food, and other supplies at outdoor markets.

African influences on AustraliaAfrican's migrated to Australia during the 1970's , bringing with them many different cultural foods and ways of living. Australia has many outlets and importers that stock many of the food groups of Africa. In Australia we can access the many herbs and spices used in African cooking. We can explore the African foods and taste their own products that can be served for us here in Australia. This is a great chance to enjoy what their own flavours are like. Australia has been very influenced by them because they got good ideas from them to make their foods tasty.

Similarities and differences from Africa to AustraliaThe similarities between African and Australian foods is they are very high in carbohydrates and starchy foods. the South African people, like Australians, enjoy cooking a bbq. In Africa the name for bbq is called braai. This is very common to Australian because most families own a bbq to cook their meat.
The differences between Africa and Australian's is that Africa is made up of all different countries each having a different culture. In Australia all the different cities are similar to each other. They are also not the same because African foods are very spicy and many other flavours. Australian foods only provide it here, therefore you can't have the chance to taste the different food groups from them. |
