Talk:List of Australian and New Zealand dishes

Note from Finbar
G'day, I am the original creator of this page. I have worked on this page for several years. I understand that I might have missed several dishes and items, particularly from New Zealand as I am Australian and have done my research from Australia. I decided that these countries should have their dishes listed together as there is an overlap between them that is potentially too great to overcome. This due to many of the dishes originating from publications that were printed in both countries. I also understand that some dishes may be found to have an origin outside Australia and New Zealand. Some items that are considered Australian and New Zealand dishes such as Tim Tams, Twisties and Cameo Cremes are not listed due them being a manufactured product that only one company produces, I believe including these items would open the door to too many obscure and irrelevant products being included which I think would make the list less concise and helpful. Some dishes are local versions of dishes with their origins elsewhere. They have made it onto the list as I believe there is evidence that they have differed enough from their source country to be of significance. I hope you like this page and can contribute, I have spent a great deal of time and effort producing and sourcing photographs and countless hours of research and have found there is a great deal more to say about Australia and New Zealand food that many would believe. Thank you and enjoy! Finbar — Preceding unsigned comment added by Finbar.concaig (talk • contribs) 12:03, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Could we change the title to "Colonial Australian and New Zealand dishes"?
That's what the list is. I think it would be good to follow the lead of linguistics who use "Australian Languages" to mean Indigenous languages.

As it stands, we're treating Colonial culture as being the only culture here. CrickedBack (talk) 00:30, 9 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if I agree with this one, personally I interpret 'Australian' as the country of Australia (both colonial and indigenous food). There is quite a few Māori food in here so it wouldn't make sense for them to be included if we used "Colonial". I think the best thing to do here is to just include missing food. — Panamitsu (talk) 00:33, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
