  • Hi Ashan and Aamna,
    I'm in Australia and born to English-Australian and Irish-Australian backgrounds, so here is my contribution: damper. It's a bread made without yeast, usually in an open fire. I understand it was developed in the early years of settlement in Australia.
    This website does a better job of explaining it: http://www.aussieslang.com/features/australian-damper-bread-recipe.asp (Technically, you can go without the sugar and milk: it really is a bare-basics bread).
    I like it best when you wrap it around a good stick (like a handle), hold it over the fire till golden, remove the stick and fill your tube with butter and honey (or syrup, or jam, or chocolate... mmmm) Good stuff for a night around the fire.
    Cheers!
