What are the flavours of Perth? What are the foods that define P-Town?

What, to quote one Homer J Simpson, are the meats that make up our city’s (multi)cultural stew?

As we dry ourselves off after one of the last WA Day long weekends in June, it feels timely to reflect on the city’s dining landscape and the tastes and influences that make Perth, Perth. Not a wannabe Melbourne or a second-rate New York, but one of the planet’s most isolated capitals that grows ever more cosmopolitan yet remains in touch with its (West) Australianness.
