Hope that this is ok to jump onto here -

My son's school (Montessori) has been covering a different continent

every few months, and when they finish one, they do a 'Fun Lunch'

where some parents are supposed to bring in food from the continent

(it was assigned to us randomly at the beginning of the year which

continent we had), so it's pretty varied depending on where they've

been learning about, and my son won't eat anything he's not sure of

for his . We happen to have been assigned Oceania/Australia, and I was

wondering if there was anything that was maybe a traditional

Australian food that we could make - either already vegetarian (but no

milk) or vegan items for next month's Fun Lunch. (my son will eat

eggs, I'd prefer to not use them if possible, but no one in his class

has an egg allergy that I know of - there is a child with a severe

peanut allergy, and my son has a milk protein allergy so there are

some restrictions we do have to adhere to - I'd prefer

vegan/vegetarian (no dairy of any kind) and the school is peanut/nut

free (so absolutely no nuts of anykind).

 

Any ideas would be welcome! I found a pumpkin soup, I think it was and

Anzac biscuits. It's for the kids (ranging in age from 3-6yr olds), so

it should be kid-friendly, too, though it's all about being exposed to

different cultures/foods/customs.

 

Thanks so much!

Missie

Hmmm.... ausssie food.... trying to think of what we eat a lot of. I think the

most common aussie meal is a bbq. Put vegetarian sausages, eggplant, potato,

marinated tofu, onion on the bbq to cook. Plus any other vegies you can think

of. Have bread buns and sauce. I agree with anzac biscuits and also lamington.

Plus a fruit salad. Mmmm.... I might do a bbq for dinner tonight

 

For australia thought it has to be a barbeque
