 | | Both -ise and -ize are accepted, as in British English, but '-ise' is the preferred form in Australian English by a ratio of about 3:1 according to the Australian Corpus of English. | | | The large-scale importation of television programs and other mass media content from the United States, from the 1950s onwards, has also had a significant effect. | | | The origins of other terms are not as clear, or are disputed. |

The other elements of the meal, however, were very Australian. | | | Many of the most typical dishes I thought of making were meat based, but alas one of my guests does not eat meat or seafood. | | | An internet search and visits to various sites that discuss Australian cuisine showed me that the culinary prowess of our Aussie friends go further than that - they have, for example, incorporated many south-east Asian dishes and flavors into their repertoire - but they still heavily rely on meat. |
