ANONYMOUS JONES
AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION NEWSLETTER #47
AUSTRALIAN VITTLES
First of all, you do have to understand that in the down
under, vittles are known as tucker, not vittles. That
is similar to America, where vittles are occasionally
known as chow, or even occasionally as cuisine. Tucker
in Australia can consist of almost anything, so long as
it's washed down with beer. Pizza, tacos, chow mein and
hamburgers all qualify as tucker, although for the most
part Aussie cooking looks awfully British. Fish and chips
are fair dinkum tucker, and the menu is heavy on beef and
mutton. All in all, culture shock should remain at a
minimum as long as you can get along without grits; and
you DON'T have to give up barbecue. So book your passage
on your nearest airline! After 24 hours aloft on Air Host
meals, even barbecued oysters will look good!
