Food.

Oh how I miss the food at home! 

This is the expression used among those who come to Australia. Do not eat that here is evil, until the contrary, what happens is that the culinary influences are very different from Brazilian or Portuguese. Australia's list of most obese countries in the world due to dietary habits. 

But increasingly I feel a strong commitment to a certain portion of the population and health agencies, to disseminate best food. Since nobody here has a maid to cook and wash dishes, many people use the practical means, which are canned and pre-prepared foods in supermarkets, or even buy ready-made meals in take-away, Pizza Delivery, Fish & Chips, Italian, Chinese, American Fast Foods, Japanese, Malay, Indian, and hundreds of other options throughout the city. Some prefer the new wave of organic foods without chemical additives or antibiotics. 

Another part, prefer to buy everything fresh in the supermarket, and cook their own meals the old fashioned way which is much cheaper.

What the Brazilians feel more difference in the taste are:

 Cheese (Prato) - less pronounced flavor and virtually no salt. In the case of Mozzarella, today we are trying to find a comparison, although the brand "Pantalica" have a little more flavor. Expensive cheeses like Swiss, have good flavor. There is a law in Australia banning the manufacture of cheese from unpasteurised milk, hence the different taste.

Meat - Most Australian cattle feeds based on feed grain rather than pasture, which causes a less pronounced flavor. It is possible in specialized butcher shops, can cut cattle grazing. The court also is very different from the way used in Brazil.

 Seafood and shrimp - is sold already cooked (the majority) or raw (and more expensive), the crude can still taste a reasonable time after it's done, but the taste of pre-cooked and very weak. Fish - fillets are basically already cut and cleaned. To buy fish fillets or a whole breast, is to ask the fishmonger, who will look you in the face of "I do not understand" ...

Coffee - with the exception of cappuccino and served in coffee shops (very popular today), the house is badly watered, and most people drink it without sugar in big glasses of cold milk dripped (or tea with milk).

Pizzas - are generally preferred with several different toppings, like pineapple, Meat, Chicken, Curry, paste (you read that right), Potato, Pepper and many other exotic for you to venture out and ask a few Margarita or just cheese. You have to ask to put oregano and a little more salt, because they usually do not come, or has very little. You can ask to be added another '= Topping extra coverage, "for just over $ 1. Italian restaurants usually offer a decent Pizza.

A passion is the Aussie Barbie (slang for Barbecue or BBQ grill. It is usually done on a hot plate or gas, and uses up steaks and sausages, which are eaten by placing them on a single slice of bread, and covered with some sauce (usually tomato).

Nothing much one tries to eat an Australian as "Fish and Chips".

Another typical product is the  Vegemite is a dark brown paste, made ​​from wheat to spread on bread.
