I live in Sydney, Australia. We are one of the most multicultural cities per head of population in the world and as a result, have many varieties of foods.\u00a0 We also live in a country that is considered wealthy so unfortunately a lot of food get\u2019s wasted but companies are starting to recognise this.\u00a0 Companies like Auss Harvest pick up unwanted foods from shopping centres and food that would be considered not such high quality so that they can prepare meals for families doing it tough, which is a wonderful project and a step in the right direction. Also, our fisheries departments here are stopping farming fish in the same areas to let the fish regroup and this has been very successful with keeping the numbers up for future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The one thing that influences our food is the extreme weather as we go from severe drought in one part of the country so the farmers\u2019 crops and feed for the animals are affected to a tropical cyclone(only last week) in northern Queensland which has affected banana crops and in turn will affect the farmer and the prices at the checkout.\u00a0 So Australia has many challenges because of weather extremes.<\/span><\/p>\n

        This meal still ranks in the top ten of Aussie meals and is known to bring the kids home for mum\u2019s Sunday roast.<\/span><\/p>\n

        I still cook a Sunday roast as it has been a tradition for me since I was a child in England and I often have memories of smelling the roasts in the air on a Sunday while the church bells rang.<\/span><\/p>\n

        In England we had it for lunch; here in Australia, for dinner.
