[edit] Propose move back to Bush tucker

Bushfood? I've rarely heard the term - Bush tucker is a more common expression in my experience. Googling finds 33,400 for bushfood, 71,800 for "bush food" and 253,000 for "bush tucker".

The move from Bush tucker to this article appears to have been done by an anonymous user, otherwise I would contact them about it. I suggest moving back.

After the name's sorted out, redlinks Australian bush tucker, Australian bush food, and Australian bush foods, and possibly bush food should redirect to this article. --Singkong2005 06:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. "Bush tucker" is the overwhelmingly more common term in my experience (I've never even heard the term "bushfood" used). Thefamouseccles 00:03, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
As explained in the article, "bushfood" is the term that is used by people who actually wild-harvest/produce, market and cook Australian native foods on a regular basis. The choice of "bushfood" over the term "bush tucker" was also made to differentiate between the more rustic witchetty grub cooked in the coals style (but nothing wrong with that by the way)from the developing gourmet bushfood scene of the 1980's, which was characterized by a very different style of cooking than what had been previously used with Australian native foods. But I don't think the term "bush tucker" should be totally superceded and displaced by the more gourmet inferred "bushfood" term. The two terms can happily coexist. Maybe they just need to be better explained. --User:John Moss 1.00, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
There are two different things here. Aboriginal use of bush food, which is vast, and includes bush medicine, and white people's use of bush food, and the commercialisation of a few plants. I think the two need to be differentiated, but not sure how.

[edit] Headlines

Is it just me or is the headlines in the artical, font sizes are bigger?--KevinWindows 08:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Norforce link broken

As it was mentioned I tried to link Norforce to the Wiki page as per the ol' square brackets method. But it's a red/broken link for some reason. Anybody a little more experienced with Wiki than I know why? Ozlucien (talk) 05:23, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Links are case-sensitive - now fixed --Melburnian (talk) 06:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
