Shrimp on the Barbie


No, we’re not talking about a plastic doll and a piece of seafood. We’re talking about seafood on the grill. The phrase “shrimp on the barbie” became popular in the US some years ago during an advertisement campaign for Australia. If your still confused, throwing another shrimp on the Barbie means you’re putting another round of shrimp on the grill to cook, i.e. a barbeque.

Australia isn’t the only country with terrific saying such as this. There are abbreviations and local expressions for food all over the world. And the best way to learn some of these is to play cooking games from all over the world.

While you probably can’t travel down to Australia to try a fabulous new shrimp recipe, you can certainly try one of your own online thanks to the sheer number and variety of cooking games available. Barbeque your own hamburgers, hot dogs, shrimp and more in one version of a cooking game and then switch to creating cakes and pies for dessert in another. With so many cooking games available, you’ll learn world cuisine in no time and you might even decide you need to try something in real life that you never thought to sample.
