  • Much Australian food is similar to the foods found in Europe or the U.S. (shown here are local variants of the cereal known to Americans as Rice Krispies). But some are distinctly Australian, including, notoriously, the yeast-extract spreads. The most famous of these is Vegemite, bought by Kraft from its Australian creators. Other brands include the locally manufactured Mightymite and Promite (a sweeter version). Some Australians still hold out for Marmite, the British original.

  • Australia's population is concentrated on the coasts, which means that seafood is a major part of most people's diets; especially shrimp and spiny lobster (shown here being harvested off Cape Otway, near Melbourne). The Molloys, of Brisbane, Australia, are an exception. Although John and Sean love seafood, Em is skeptical and Natalie can't abide it. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 32).
