VEGEMITE has trumped the meat pie as Aussies’ top food icon in a tastebud opinion poll.
Pavlova was nominated third favourite, despite a long-running dispute with New Zealand over the meringue dessert’s heritage.
Steak and macadamia nuts were next in line, surprisingly edging out lamingtons.
Those quizzed placed eating kangaroo ahead of Chiko rolls as “icon” status. Dagwood dogs were next, while Iced Vovos were least nominated.
One thousand adults, polled by Pure Profile for the upcoming Good Food and Wine Show, could choose from 10 icon suggestions or select their own.
Both men and women preferred their own cooking to their mother’s or a professional chef’s, the survey also found. Most blokes rated their partners’ culinary skills best.

Men tended to have the most adventurous palates.
They were more willing to try new things, tweak recipes, or try wild meats such as crocodile, boar and wallaby.
Half of Australians were inspired to make their dinner from whatever was in the fridge or pantry rather than rolling out standard week night meals or reading and researching a recipe.
