"Christmas Day was hectic as,
But on the Feast of Stephen,
Surf and wind were fickle as,
Least I had my freedom.."

What's cooking? @wax24 will be having hearty stews around the fire, and was curious how 'we' roll in Australia food-wise during the festive season..

Baked/glazed leg ham, prawns, salads and beers. Working this year so won’t be indulging.

For Waxxy. We call ‘em prawns not shrimp and we don’t grill ‘em in the bbq. Boiled in water(purchased that way) peeled and eaten.

I don’t remove the poop shoot and don’t mind sucking the contents of the heads out either.

For us it's beer, red wine and the usual turkey & ham schomozle with nice salads for a late lunch. Followed by a nap.

I had to look that up, Toobs. So, it seems that your Devon is our Bologna (or Baloney). That said....
1) 5 slices of your neighborhood's best devon ;-)
2) cast iron skillet with olive oil
3) two pieces of dark rye bread
4) English hot mustard
Just fry and eat! Easy, peasy, tasty!
