But it’s not just pies on the menu—Australian breakfast traditions are also making waves. Forget croissants; Aussie athletes prefer a hearty bowl of cereal, with 1.4 tonnes shipped over for their morning fuel. While Weet-Bix and Nutri-Grain are likely favourites, who knows who sneaks in some Coco Pops?

The pantry in the Aussie section is a treasure trove of energy-packed goodies. From 20,000 shots of coffee to 9,700 slushies, 10,000 muesli bars, and even Taco Tuesdays featuring 30kg of Old El Paso salsa.

Here’s hoping this feast fuels our Aussie athletes to bring home the gold!
