Sorry, I found this a confusing survey - or maybe my brain just is
working properly

e.
Sorry that found it "confusing". I apologize.

The point I was trying to make was: The planet Earth has become a much
'smaller' place in recent history.... Not all people live, cook/eat and
die in the country they were born in these days - some people even move
to
another continent! Imagine that?

I live in Canada and to be honest I have no idea what the traditional
meal
might be..........But I was born and raised in Scotland and perhaps
haggis
is the traditional meal there. To which I'd have to answer no, I never
make
that.
e.

Those fried potatoes with gravy and cheese!

Poutine! Quebecois. Yes, yummy!

Other than the First Nations, I'd have to say that North American
cuisine is a hodgepodge of the dishes that are from all over the world
whereever people emigrated from to arrive here and add their bit to
the stone soup that is our cuisine.

Agreed.

I still love it! It's rare I have both leftover mashed potatoes and
leftover cabbage at the same time so it takes a little planning ahead

Do you ever have plain leftover boiled potatoes? I do the the frugal
gourmet way and just squish them with my paws.

Bubble & Squeak was a plan ahead meal for me... throw in a couple more
when I'm boiling them and the cabbage always had to be planned ahead
because I'm not a big cabbage fan.

Damper

In colonial Australia, stockmen developed the technique of making
damper out of necessity. Often away from home for weeks, with just a
camp fire to cook on and only sacks of flour as provisions, a basic
staple bread evolved. It was originally made with flour and water and
a good pinch of salt, kneaded, shaped into a round, and baked in the
ashes of the campfire or open fireplace. It was eaten with pieces of
fried dried meat, sometimes spread with golden syrup, but always with
billy tea or maybe a swig of rum.

Today it is made with milk and self-raising flour. Salt is optional.

BUSH DAMPER

3 cups of self-raising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water

Sift flour and salt into a bowl, rub in butter until mixture resembles
fine crumbs.
Make a well in the centre, add the combined milk and water, mix
lightly with a knife until dough leaves sides of bowl.
Gently knead on a lightly floured surface and then shape into a round,
put on a greased oven tray. Pat into a round 15-16 cm (6-6 1/2 inch)
diameter.
With sharp knife, cut two slits across dough like a cross,
approximately 1cm (1/2in) deep.
Brush top of dough with milk.
Sift a little extra flour over dough.

Bake in a hot oven for 10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Reduce heat to moderate and bake another 20 minutes.

Best eaten the day it is made.
