One Continuous Picnic: A Gastronomic History of AustraliaMelbourne Univ. Publishing, 2007 - 366 pages Australians first confronted the oddities of their national cuisine when this gastronomic classic appeared 25 years ago.æBecauseæAustralia never had a peasant farming classæwith local cooking customs, the book explains, camp foodæbecame the mainstay of theæAussieædining tradition. Portable weekly rations of mutton, flour, and teaæhad turned the early settlers into a mobile army, and their suburbanite descendants still survive on tins of jam, condensed milk, camp pie, and beer.æA cry for action, the book successfully launched a newæAustralianætaste foræfresh produce, farm markets, and international flavors more than two decades one that still exists today. |
