The food in Oceania consists of a combination of Australian, New Zealand, Samoan, and the Marshall Islands food. Because of the vast ocean that surrounds Oceania, fish is commonly used in Oceanic recipes. Oceanic food especially features many stews and soups with fish in them. Because of the tropical climate, coconuts are ubiquitous in Oceania. Coconuts are used in dishes to the fullest extent. People often drink coconut milk. However, cakes, desserts, and cookies also often have coconut in them. It is common knowledge that Oceania produces some of the best lamb meat in the world. Therefore, it is not a surprise that lamb is an indispensable ingredient in the dishes of Oceania. Salmon, venison, and pork are also important meats. The food can be quite exotic, though. Crocodiles, kangaroos, and buffalos are often found in Oceanic restaurants.
