There are regional differences from State to State both in foods themselves and in what they’re called. Food Historian and Author of "Australian Food Timeline" Jan O'Connell looks at some of these differences including peanut butter vs peanut paste, potato cakes vs scallops and jubilee twists vs the boston bun. 

Jan also askes the question does WA have a signature dish? Tassie has the scallop pie, South Australia the pie floater, Queensland the Lamington and Victoria the Aussie dim sim ... so what is ours?
