What the fuck.
Have never heard anyone call lunch anything other than that, unless it is a tradie who might say ‘smoko’ for lunch or a 15 minute snack break.
Aussie terms for meals:
Breakfast/brekkie
Morning tea/smoko*
Lunch (or brunch if its ~9-11am)
Afternoon tea/arvo tea*
Dinner/Tea
Dessert/Sweets*
*morning/arvo tea are primarily for social sit downs and would be like biscuits/scones and a cup of tea/coffee (having a cuppa with friends/family, small meetings with clients, retirees with nothing better to do)
dessert/sweets is if your having something after dinner, like some pie/crumble with ice cream, pancakes, etc)
Also ‘entree’ is a small course before the main meal in dinner, the USA confused the fuck out of me when i visited.
My Aussie friend mainly had problems with remembering our egg doneness “sunny side up” and “over easy”, i’m unsure of what her proper terms were for it.
Yes, an entree is also known as an appetiser, as per the definition of the word ;)
We would say sunny side up here too, but we would probably more commonly just say ‘flipped’.
And i order myne “cooked through” or “flipped and crucified”, because i really prefer theres no runny yolk unless its mi goreng or over steak tartare.

Apparently, your entrées are our appetizers :)
