There's a lass at work called Trisha the Crazy Queenslander. She had a stroke of genius this year - let's show the Brits what Anzac spirit is all about... by cooking for them!
Don't laugh - it worked! As folk chewed through plates of Anzac Biscuits, TJ explained that the food had to be hard-wearing to last all the way to the trenches, and then survive a warzone. And the kiwifruit on my pav was, clearly, a reminder that Galipoli was a proving ground for New Zealanders as well as Aussies - two young, newly independent nations making their debut on the world stage.
Nah, actually, it was just an excuse for a yummy morning tea. But given that a lot of Brits and Europeans don't even realise Australians were even IN the war, let alone dying in their thousands, I think we made our point, quite deliciously.
