Reading
A new kind of fast food is having a big impact in Australia. It has helped to bring Australian people together, and it has been named as the People’s Choice Word of the Year 2016 by Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary. It is the “halal snack pack”, also known as an “HSP” in Australia. It is a combination of kebab meat, potato fries and a special spicy sauce. Although the snack was created in Australia, it has its roots in the Middle East. It has become a symbol of multiculturalism in Australia as more people become aware of halal food. There is even an HSP group on Facebook that has over 180,000 members. The site is for, “sharing great snack pack stories and discussing possibly the best snack pack in the world”.
