Melbourne Street Food - Part 1


Melbourne Street Food is largely influenced by British English cuisine and cooking styles, because Australia formerly was a colony of the United Kingdom. As a largely immigrant country, cuisine in Melbourne is also greatly influenced by other international cuisines including Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Turkish, Indian, American, French, Italian, Mexican, Peruvian, and Spanish. And as a major economic and cultural hub of Australia, the majority of these cuisines are prevalent all over Melbourne, and it's easy to find a wide variety of street food.
