Australia Day is a bone of contention for indigenous Australians and rightly so. We usurped this land from them and considered it to be void of a culture and overlooked what was in fact one of the oldest cultures in the world.
However, we cannot change what did occur and I can't help but adore this new tongue in cheek commercial for Australian lamb which is headed up by our legendary veteran cricket commentator Richie Benaud. Traditionally the greatest television commercials in Australia were reserved for breweries so it is refreshing to see our nation getting it's artistic talents up for what is a wonderful national product.
And my recommendation: Lamb cutlets crumbed with egg yolk, flower and crumbs and then placed in the oven at 160 degrees celsius for 30 minutes. Add some fresh ailoi and a garden salad with shallots and avocado and finish it off with a chocolate paddle pop for dessert. Sometimes it's the simple things that count!
Make Australia Day Lambtastic!
