Nope, but Aussie fish and chips are still better. :D

Highly improbable, seeing as they are a BRITISH DISH  :P

Well pizza is of Italian origin and us Aussie's perfected those too. Come to Melbourne some time, food here is generally speaking the best in the country and the variety is exceptional. (I didn't grow up here and have lived in Sydney and Adelaide so I'm reasonably unbiased)

Ah, well you've said it's the best in Australia - not the world - that's acceptible hubris, you are free to brag! :) An Australian saying Australian food is "The best in Australia" isn't saying much.

I am sure it's very nice, but for it to be BETTER than that found in the country of conception and origin is almost unheard of. An Ozzie telling an Italian that "Our pizza is better than pizza from Italy" would result in a HUGE belly laugh from the Italians, followed by nothing further and business as usual.

Hey we are thoroughly multi-cultural over here, it's the Italians that moved out here and brought their awesome food with them that then made it better, same with the British and fish and chips.

Besides improving food from on a culture that thinks boiling everything is a good idea, isn't hard. :D

"Hey we are thoroughly multi-cultural over here"

Yep, you're bragging that the cultures of OTHER countries makes Australia a good place to be, eh? Surely not doing your Australian comrades much of a service there, old chap. What about AUSTRALIAN dishes to be proud of - name some and tempt us. :P

Nothing like using a convenient cultural stereotype to fasttrack your making a fool of yourself, eh? Enjoy your Castlemaine XXXX and shrimps, see you at the kangaroo race. ;)

PS: We FRY fish and chips, we don't boil them - where do you get your "information" from?   :-//

Do you know the most interesting things I've learned about Australia, are about the Aborigine culture, not from the western slave descendants who were banished there (yes, I know you're not ALL descended from them.) All I see from Oz, which is my view as someone having never been there, is a country with a weird, awkward mix of British and American cultures, driving around in hideous Asian cars.

Ozzies seem to be trying to be something... although, I can't work out WHAT they aspire to be, overall, and with respect.

How's that for a stereotype! :P

Mate, more than half my family still lives in the UK, my wife and I have dual citizenship and Boiling things that shouldnt be boiled (eg veggies) is still a way of life in England in particular.

Obviously fish and chips are fried before being served however the english still think boiling the chips first is a good idea.
