In Australia, the most common and iconic fish you can order is the barramundi. The name derives from the Aboriginal language, and anyone in the country will let you know that you can't leave until you've had at least one meal of the flaky fish. Typically, the seafood dish is served grilled simply with some garlic and lemon, providing a light and refreshing meal for your taste buds.

Another Australian favorite comes in the form of Arnott's Shapes cracker flavors are part of the allure in these tasty little packaged goods. From Aussie BBQ Meat Lover's to Balsamic Vinegar & Sea Salt, the savory crackers are sold in grocery stores from coast to coast and are staples in the kitchen of any local.

Although not exclusive to the Land Down Under, pumpkin is a common side dish on dinner plates at restaurants across the nation. Often served in the place of a vegetable, chunks of this squash-like fruit are a delicious and unexpected treat within many eateries of the palm-tree-laden tropics of Australia.
