AUSTRALIANA CUSINE
DAMPER
Is a traditional Australian soda bread prepared by swagmen, drovers and other travellers. It is a wheat flour based bread, traditionally baked in the coals of a campfire.
Melba toast is a dry, crisp and thinly sliced toast,
often served with soup and salad or topped with
either melted cheese or pâté. It is named after
Dame Nellie Melba. Melba toast is made by lightly
toasting slices of bread under a grill, on both sides.
The resulting toast is then sliced laterally. The thin slices are then returned to the grill with the untoasted
sides towards the heat source, resulting in toast half the normal thickness. Thus, it can be described as a
twice-baked food
