In terms of history, Australian cuisine（烹飪）was on the basis of traditional British cooking brought to the country by the first settlers.Modern Australian cuisine，however.has been heavily influenced by Australia’ s Asian and Southeast Asian neighbors.The trend，encouraged by long-term government health programs，is towards low-fat healthy cookery including low-fat meat and lightly cooked，colorful，steamed or fried vegetables.Besides，1ike many English families，in many Australian homes，a widespread tradition of having roast turkey，chicken，and ham for Christmas 1unch or dinner still remains.
Generally breakfast is light in most parts of Australia.but in the colder regions porridge or meals similar to the full English breakfast may be consumed.In recent years，however，most Australian people prefer light breakfast in order to control their weight.The 1ight breakfast commonly consists of cereals（谷類），toast and fruit.A heavier breakfast will frequently include fried bacon，eggs，mushrooms，etc.Drinks taken at breakfast include tea，coffee，milk or juice.
The evening meal is the main meal of the day for most Australians，and when consumed at home，it is often eaten with members of the immediate family.The dishes served will vary widely according to the tastes and background of the family.A typical Australian restaurant might offer sandwiches，chicken or other meat-based dishes and cakes.
In recent years，take—away food is becoming popular in Australia.American-style chain restaurants are common including Subway，KFC，and Mcdonald’s.They a11 come from America.Most of these restaurants sell high quality food at reasonable prices.
With the high 1evels of immigration（移民）from the Middle East.South and Southeast Asia.Korea.China and other countries from a11 over the world to Australia.many authentic（正宗的）and high-quality restaurants are run by first-and second-generation immigrants from these areas.

　 Isn't it astonishing how much time we spend talking about food? “Have you ever eaten …?” “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day.

　 The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生魚(yú)).

　 So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.
