When it comes to food, the Australian in me will always chose damper and pea and ham soup over everything!

As reports say, in earlier times, bushmen and road labourers relied heavily on this well-known, affordable Australian dish. At first, the recipe was the most straightforward. With a sip of rum or billy tea, the soda bread is made from wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt. It is then baked over a campfire. Today, milk and self-raising flour can make it a little fancier.

Pea and ham soup, on the other hand, a straightforward dish that has been prepared in farmhouse kitchens for decades, is the ideal substantial winter dinner and may have British origins.

To make it even heartier, people recommend to add slices of smoked sausage or frankfurters.
