The 17th of September marks Australian Citizenship Day, a chance to reflect on what it means to belong to a nation as rich, vibrant and diverse as ours. With so much global sadness and friction in the world right now, it feels like the perfect moment to pause and celebrate community, connection, and culture.
And because this is We Feed You, we’re focusing on what unites us all: food.
From Meat and Three Veg… to a World of Flavour
When I think back to my parents’ childhood, dinner was often the same: meat and three veg. Nutritious? Sure. Exciting? Not exactly. But over time, migration and multiculturalism have transformed Australian food culture.
Today, we’re incredibly fortunate to enjoy the flavours of so many different traditions and sometimes in the same week (especially if you’re eating from the We Feed You ready meal menu!.
