Title: Damper
Post by Michaelb on Jul 30^th, 2010 at 8:22am

"A Bushman’s recipe, which some people swear by and others swear at. Make a hole in some flour in a ration bag, pour in a quart pot of boiling water and stir it with a stick until you have a lump of dough, which you lift out from the surrounding flour, slightly flatten and bake in the ashes. A more luxurious way to mix it is to take off your leather legging and mix it on that, or a piece of bark."

Above quote The Kookaburra Cookery Book, dated 1911
