sausages, steak, 

even 

octopus together with 

bread and salad, and talk. 
Sometimes Christmas dinner is 
a BBQ on the beach.

Many Australians and New 

Zealanders 

have a sweet 

tooth - they like to eat 
desserts and cakes. There are 
special Australian and N.Z. 
recipes for desserts and cakes. 
The Lamington, a square 
cake covered in chocolate and 
coconut, or the Anzac Biscuit 
made from 

golden syrup and 

oats are perfect with a cup of 
tea or coffee. 

The Pavlova is a very 

rich 

dessert that Australia and New 
Zealand disagree on – we both 
claim to have made it first. 
But at least we agree that it is 
delicious!
