LOVE LAMB ON AUSTRALIA DAY?

Every Australian knows to eat lamb on Australia Day. There are many lamb dishes one can prepare, or just opt to chuck a chop on the barbie. But when it comes to picking the best of them all - do you know which lamb to get?

There is a specific brand of lamb the real Aussie chefs tend to love more than others - Pure Suffolk Lamb. It is used in many top restaurants and eateries for its exceptional flavours and a lean meat. It’s noteworthy qualities have also been recognized through many award ceremonies.

For instance, Suffolk Lamb is the favourite of Quay Restaurant (awarded Restaurant of the Year in 2009 by Gourmet Traveller), Danks St Depot (Sydney’s iconic coffee shop and restaurant focusing on sustainable Australian produce) and others.

 “Pure Suffolk Lamb™ - a super-premium lamb brand grown in Australia. Pure Suffolk has been recognized through various award ceremonies, including most recently becoming a medalist at the 2011 Delicious Produce Awards in the ‘From the Paddock’ category. Pure Suffolk Lamb was also a finalist in the 2009 Vogue Entertaining + Travel Produce Awards.” Via feastfinefoods.com.au

It has such an amazing depth of flavour that the meat almost tastes gamey giving the dish a very intense and able-bodied lamb zest. These qualities make the Pure Suffolk Lamb perfect for using in burgers, meat pies and stews – all worthy dishes to prepare for Australia Day.

If you are not spending Australia Day at home and just happen to walk into Sydney Airport – get your dose of “Aussieness” from Jared Ingersoll’s Lamb Burger: handmade lamb patty braised in a roasted tomato sauce, garnished with rocket & topped with beetroot pesto, with a side of hand cut chips.

Happy Australia Day!

We’ve got Football Fever.

A serious case of it.

The Rugby World Cup is just around the corner and after the Wallabies redeemed themselves with a convincing win over South Africa’s Springboks over the weekend we’re feeling confident (Hush now! These B-team utterances about the ‘Boks need not be brought up here!).

It’s not long before we’ll be donning the green and gold jerseys and heading to Sydney International Airport with a ticket to New Zealand in hand and when we get there we’ll be stopping off at the Danks Street Depot cafe (which is just before security at T1) to let it be known to Jared Ingersoll that Australia is the greatest rugby playing nation on earth…contrary to what he claims in this little video!!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie….Oi, Oi, Oi!

Egg-ceptional Travel…

Ok, I’m putting it out there…I think dinner and lunch are overrated. In my personal opinion breakfast is, hands down, the greatest meal of the day. Those people that claim they never eat breakfast or they aren’t hungry in the mornings furrow my brow. These poor misguided people really don’t know what they are missing out on. Breakfast truly is where it is at. What other meal allows you to start with a sweet buttery goodness of a croissant or flaky Danish, then progress to warm slow food and finish with fruit and not be given the guilty look that accompanies dessert indulgence.

You might think this a big call and perhaps it is an outlandish statement but I’m confident making this claim because Jared Ingersoll, sustainable foodie extraordinare of Danks Street Depot  is with me. He’s so crazy about breakfast that he has put it on the menu all day long.

All. Day. Breakfast. These three words together make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. 

So for all those folks who don’t get around to eating until lunch time you are in luck, you can get the greatest eggs going at lunch. For those who get cravings for eggs at dinner-time, don’t feel awkward or embarrassed about it, Jared knows where you are coming from and had got you covered.

At Dank Street Depot at Sydney International Airport the eggs are not just good - they’re exceptional. In their natural and organic state they resemble smooth cool pebbles with hues of earth tones that are appealing to the eye but even more seductive on the plate. 

He uses Cornucopia Farms fresh bio-dynamic eggs sourced locally in the Hunter Valley that deliver an amazing flavor experience - just as nature intended. At Danks Street Depot you can enjoy eggs poached, creamed (scrambled eggs taken to a whole new sensational level), eggs and hash and so much more.

Tell us about your breakfast experience and send us a photo at facebook.com.au/sspaustralia or on Twitter @DanksStARPT.

Travel Better!
