What do you eat on Easter in Australia?

When you think of the typical Australian Easter, you can’t go past Hot Cross Buns as the ultimate indulgence. Whether you toast them, slather them with butter, or eat them fresh out of the bag, these light and fluffy treats signify that Easter has truly arrived. It also wouldn’t be an Aussie Easter without Easter eggs, chocolate bunnies, and Easter bilby’s from the Easter bunny! As for other Easter food, the good old lamb roast is a traditional choice for a scrumptious Easter Sunday lunch, while Seafood dishes are commonly eaten on Good Friday.
