Question

    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，like many English families，in many Australian homes，a widespread tradition of having roast turkey，chicken，and ham for Christmas lunch 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 light 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 all come from America．Most of these restaurants sell high quality food at reasonable prices．

With the high levels of immigration（移民）from the Middle East．South and Southeast Asia．Korea．China and other countries from all 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．
