"Bushfood" is a less colloquial form of the Australian word "[[bushtucker]]", which is a combination of the [[Australian]] slang word "bush", meaning [[wilderness]], and "tucker", meaning [[food]]. Thus the word tends to refer to any Australian native food, although it sometimes is used with the specific connotation of "food found in the [[Outback]] while living on the land".

Bushtucker therefore includes both [[plant]] and [[animal]] foods. Examples of Australian native animal foods ([[meat]]) include [[Kangaroo]], [[Emu]] and [[Crocodile]]. These meats are widely consumed in Australian restaurants. Other animals, for example the [[Goanna]] lizard, were eaten by [[Aboriginal]] Australians and thus qualify as bushtucker in every sense of the word.

Examples of Australian native plant foods include the [[Quandong]] (''Santalum acuminatum''), Bush Raisin (''Solanum centrale''), Warrigal Greens (''Tetragonia tetragonioides'', or [[New Zealand]] Spinach), and Tasmanian Mountain Pepper (''Tasmannia lanceolata'').
