'''Bushfood''' refers to any Australian native food, although it sometimes is used with the specific connotation of "food found in the [[Outback]] while living on the land". It is also called '''bushtucker'''.

In the last decade, industry groups such as the Southern Bushfood Association, the Queensland Bushfood Association, the Northern Bushfood Association, and many others have been pushing for the introduction of bushfood as genuine cuisine in Australian and international restaurants. The term "Bushfood" is the current term for Australian native cuisine, evolving from the older-style "bushtucker" which was used in the 1970s and 1980s. The word "bushfood" was chosen to reflect the sustainable nature of the industry's products, and to help exporters with product branding. It is the term most often used by [[Australian]] [[Government]] and [[CSIRO]] sources & authors.

Bushfood includes both [[plant]] and [[animal]] foods. Examples of Australian native animal foods ([[meat]]) include [[kangaroo]], [[emu]] and [[crocodile]]. These meats are not uncommon in Australian restaurants. Other animals, for example the [[Goanna]] and the [[witchetty grub]], were eaten by [[Indigenous Australians|Aboriginal]] Australians and thus qualify as bushfood in every sense of the word.

Examples of Australian native plant foods include the [[Quandong]] (''Santalum acuminatum''), Bush Raisin or Bush Tomato (''Solanum centrale''), Warrigal Greens (''Tetragonia tetragonioides'', or [[New Zealand]] Spinach), and [[Tasmannia|Mountain Pepper]] (''Tasmannia lanceolata'', the Mountain Pepperbush, is one example). The most identifiable (and probably only) bushfood plant harvested and sold in commercial quantities is the [[macadamia]] nut ''(Macadamia integrifolia)''.

Since the 1970s, many TV shows have made use of the bushfood theme. [[Malcolm Douglas]] was one of the first presenters to show how to 'live off the land' in the Australian Outback. Major [[Les Hiddins]], a retired [[Australian Army]] soldier, presented a hit TV series called ''Bush Tucker Man'' on the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC TV]] network in the late 1980s. In the series, Hiddins demonstrated his training and research in combat survival by locating native foodstuffs in the northern Australian Outback.

146.178.91.1: The disambiguation was unwarranted.

The term '''bush tucker''' is a combination of the [[Australia]]n slang word "bush", meaning [[wilderness]], and "tucker", meaning [[food]]. Thus the word tends to refer to any Australian native food, although it sometimes is used with the specific connotation of "food found in the [[Outback]] while living on the land". It is also called '''bushtucker''' and less colloquially, '''bush food'''.

Bushtucker includes both [[plant]] and [[animal]] foods. Examples of Australian native animal foods ([[meat]]) include [[kangaroo]], [[emu]] and [[crocodile]]. These meats are not uncommon in Australian restaurants. Other animals, for example the [[Goanna]] and the [[witchetty grub]], were eaten by [[Indigenous Australians|Aboriginal]] Australians and thus qualify as bush tucker in every sense of the word.

Examples of Australian native plant foods include the [[Quandong]] (''Santalum acuminatum''), Bush Raisin or Bush Tomato (''Solanum centrale''), Warrigal Greens (''Tetragonia tetragonioides'', or [[New Zealand]] Spinach), and [[Tasmannia|Mountain Pepper]] (''Tasmannia lanceolata'', the Mountain Pepperbush, is one example). The most identifiable (and probably only) "bush tucker" plant harvested and sold in commercial quantities is the [[macadamia]] nut ''(Macadamia integrifolia)''.

Major [[Les Hiddins]], a retired [[Australian Army]] soldier, presented a hit TV series called ''Bush Tucker Man'' on the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation|ABC TV]] network in the late 1980s.
