Key Points

• Filipino migrants in Australia usually host visiting relatives or friends not only by showing them around but also by sharing food that is part of Australian culture.
• Some iconic Aussie dishes and desserts include meat pies, lamingtons, pavlova, and Witchetty Grub, which is highly nutritious and a traditional staple of Indigenous diets.
• Filipinos on social media shared their favourites: Vegemite toast (often a first taste for many), fish and chips with chicken salt, bakery treats like lamingtons and vanilla slice, meat pies, T-bone steak, Tim Tams, and even kangaroo steak.
