Bush tucker, also known as bushfood, refers to the native edible plants and animals traditionally consumed by indigenous communities, particularly nomadic ones. These foods have been integral to the Oceanykan diet for thousands of years and have on more than one occasion saved entire societies from mass starvation. Bush tucker includes a diverse range of ingredients such as kangaroo, emu, native fish, yams, fruits like quandong and Kakadu plum, as well as various nuts, seeds, and spices. Bush tucker in modern Oceanykan discourse refers specifically to foods which are hunted and gathered from nature, not produced for the market. In recent times, there has been a growing interest in bush tucker among the broader population, leading to its incorporation into modern Oceanykan cuisine.
