What is a mob feed? A meal that's cooked to feed a family, group or community. "Mob" is a colloquial term identifying a group of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people associated with a particular place or country. It is used to connect and identify who a person is and where they are from. Mob can represent your family, group, nation or wider community group.
Can y'all do this again? Perhaps a sweets/dessert version, please? Or Snacks, or Meat Dishes, or Breakfast, or...can you tell I'm interested in this type of cuisine, lol
That’s like saying spaghetti isn’t Italian because noodles came from China and tomatoes come from South America. Or that pho and banh mi aren’t Vietnamese because they’re based on French cooking.
Love these first nation videos! And love the diversity of the first nation presenters. People always think we look the same so thank you for showing our diversity in our community. Would love to see more of these.
Aww I love this! As a Polynesian 🇨🇰 the food is so similar to us islanders in the South Pacific. It’s soo beautiful to learn about these mobs too! Shoutout to the half 🇹🇴 Tongan fella!
I'm amazed at how many of these are from my youth with slight variations and I'm an old white fella. The connection could be my mum came from a farm up the Brisbane valley and we didn't have much money when I was young. I still keep a tin of Keen's in the drawer and put a pinch in almost everything I cook.
Same. My mum made all of these dishes except the Johnny cakes, which I now need to try. And you can't make curried sausages with any other brand of curry than keens 😊
love this! would love to see more first nations food videos - or really any videos. Love each of the people that were featured on the vid too, 10/10 would love to try any and all of these meals
Just incase yall didn't see my comment on the last vid, you should do like a sydney scavenger hunt thing like multicultural food themed. Just bc i want to see tom get lost and hop on some public transport that takes him like 3 hours away and he stresses tf out
“Curry” powder is a particular flavour. Like yes you can have all sorts of curries but the keen curry powder is a very specific flavour. It’s very nostalgic for Aussies too as our nans and mums cooked with it a lot back in the day.
I have to admit, I was kinda expecting traditional bush tucker and not curry. That’s more Indian to me. How about doing one where they are using true Australian ingredients.
I used the word "Kamilaroi" and I'm not Indigenous. Kamilaroi isn't even N.S.W., that's not what that means. Ignoring the largest part of Australia's history is by virtue, un-Australian. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are Australian... it is their country. Also that's not how language works? If enough people understand what it means, the words have meaning.
Umm, I got some comments from Brendon rookes too that I can't find anywhere now but about them not being aboriginal & not using 'indigenous' ingredients....so I'll explain things from my perspective here...first of all indigenous people look diverse because we are. There are many reasons for this, the most obvious probably has something to do with the stolen generation. Also Oz is a big place & people from the Torres Strait for example are not going to look the same as those from Tassie. We are also a very multicultural country & fall in love & make babies with people that don't necessarily look similar to ourselves. That doesn't mean we aren't aboriginal. Now about not including native ingredients...most aboriginal people live in urban areas & therefore tend to use the ingredients they have access to & can afford. A lot of 'indigenous' foods r quite expensive & not really practical for a big cook up to feed the mob. Curried snags or chicken r really handy this way, most of us usually have some spuds,carrots & onions lying around & some keens curry or coconut milk in the pantry never goes astray when u gotta throw a big meal together often with little notice..... now for a feed in remote communities...FOOD IS EXPENSIVE! Basics like flour,tea,rice & sugar aren't too bad but fresh fruit & vegetables r astronomical! I was lucky enough to live near the beach & rivers so a huge part of our diet was fish. Hunting roo & other meat was important to our diet too inc goanna & snake but for a big cook up for the community we'd have a cup murri,very similar to a maori hangi with food cooked underground with hot coals. Usually someone would kill some cattle (often with their bullbar) & we'd throw in some root veggies & maybe a few chooks & then we'd feast. Just thinking about this food & lifestyle has me longing to get back home.(I'm currently on the west coast & heading back to the Cape in a few weeks)
Man the fulla that did the curry with the johnny cakes, I'm going to his house for a feed for sure. We come from the same mob, So that's how I know he done it properly.
they had the chance to show true indiginous recipes and what do they show white mans food claiming it as there own like im sorry but aboriginals didnt have corn beef before white man came
Its blackfella bubble n squeak. She did say something about them both being put together being a bad idea, prob cos they both gigglers that just love a laugh, doesn't matter what or why. I got mob like that too,life is a laugh. And if we didn't laugh we just might cry (but I'm not going down that road of political& social injustice today...)
Lol it’s not offensive at all!! n recent years, 'we’ve utilised First Nations’ as it that recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Peoples of Australia. First Nations recognises Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the sovereign people of this land.
No-one said it was offensive. First Nations People is just a more universal way that identifies who the traditional owners of a particular country (or lands) are.
The lady with the beanie on was quite rude. Fritters are the best, as a kid I would smother them in tomato sauce. It was one of the few things that Dad cooked.
@@Nalijay Yes but it sounded sarcastic especially when paired with the facial expressions. But that could just be their way as the man didn't seem to mind at all.
@@Nalijay or a new friend? Seems its just their way. I said earlier I've got mob like this too that just love to laugh. And gentle teasing with each other is called GAMIN where I'm from, there's no offence meant
@@jadecawdellsmith4009 curried sausage? Lol ur kidding. I'm in the UK. Saus casserole is a thing here but not curried. Haha i just don't like wet sausage eeeeh 🤣
@@helenrobinson8894 gotta admit I'm not a real fan of curried sausages myself. Its cheap & easy when feeding a big mob but gimmie a good goat vindaloo or lamb saag & I'm in heaven. THATS good curry. Keens should stay in grandma's cupboard & snags should only be eaten at the school fete or at Bunnings on a sunday! Onions, no sauce. (I don't like em wet either)😂
We use the same word, “feed”, like that here in the Pacific Northwest (in America!). Yup. A “mob feed” is like… a potluck or a family reunion meal or a church/ community dinner etc. .^_^.
Actually, I’m kind of amazed to see that this is an Australianism too! Thought it was a rural Pacific Northwest old people thing. Guess it’s pan-Pacific-Rim. :D
