Italian Influences On Australian CuisineItalian citizens migrating to Australia and are well presented in each city but there is a disproportionate in Victoria as 41.6% compared to 25% of the rest of Australia. Since Italian immigration began in the 1850's, there have been many successful Italian-Australians in all areas of life, and Italians have influenced our food and our culture.Italy is a reasonably large trading partner of Australia, and our links with Italy are likely to grow even stronger now that two Australian-Italian dual nationals. Italian immigration to Australia began almost at the same time as Captain Cook's discovery of the country in 1770. 'Italian Australians Trailblazers for Multiculturalism' by Dr. Laura Baldassar in Multicultural Communities Online, it was well known and highly suspicious food like garlic, olive oil to cook in foods. wine and cheese came in silver paper and melted into slippery blobs when cooked, that pasta was not a familiar dish, that wine was considered a foreign beverage for foreigners and that tea was a far more popular drink than coffee." The Italian influence on Australian life has been enormous and it is almost too difficult to categorize it. Since they first came here more than one hundred years ago, Italian immigrants and descendents have done their best to introduce Anglo-Australians to 'La Dolce Vita'.
Italian people were very inviting and welcoming to their country because whey knew how great our culture and food groups were. The Difference Between Italian And Australian Cuisine
The difference between Italian and Australian is very different. Being away from your own country (Italy) it makes a huge difference because in Australia it is a very friendly. In shops the staff are very respectful and when your being served they always have a friend conversation with you. When you get back to Italy you notice a difference I a short amount of time (1 week). In Italy it is very disrespectful for customers because when they entre the staff serving the customers don't make eye contact and always talk dirty to them with a constraint stare to make you feel rude.
Similarities Between Italian And Australian Cuisine"It is today hard to believe that garlic was once an unknown and highly suspicious food, that olive oil was only available from chemists in small glass bottles for medicinal purposes, that bread was prized for its ability to be cut in thin square slices, that cheese came in silver paper and melted into slippery blobs when cooked, that pasta was not a familiar dish, that wine was considered a foreign beverage for foreigners and that tea was a far more popular drink than coffee." (cf. Baldassar and Pesman 2004).Now Italian restaurants can be found everywhere, even in the suburbs. (There is a good one near where I live.) Cappuccinos are a favorite beverage of Australians and Australians love to eat pasta and drink wine.
Italians played a big role in introducing Australians to wine and Italian-style wines, such as logrein, barbera, and sangiovese are increasingly popular. They also helped to make the 'coffee culture' popular – many coffee brands in Australia have Italian origins and many different types of coffee are available at coffee shops and in the supermarkets. Australians are also beginning to realize the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet, based as it is on delicious olive oil, salads, pasta and wine. The Italian influence on Australian life has been enormous and it is almost too difficult to categorize it. Since they first came here more than one hundred years ago, Italian immigrants and descendents have done their best to introduce Anglo-Australians to 'La Dolce Vita'. Recipe
