Talk:Damper (food)

message: from VfD:
It's a recipe, and an advert. The bread does exist, and appears in several dictionaries of slang, but what to write about it? Not this. A search for 'damper bread' on google returns lots of recipes, and a few pages which suggest that it might have been formulated by William Dampier, who is worthy of attention. Is this stuff culturally significant in Australia, enough to warrant a page apart from Bread?. (aha, it's been fixed - there's nothing wrong with it now. Note that the original seemed to be an advert for a television programme, copied badly from the website of that programme. I now vote Keep - Ashley Pomeroy 14:16, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Whilst I've no doubt stockmen did enjoy Rum, what is the basis for specifying Bundaberg Rum, which is (now) a corporate brand. If no citation can be found, I'd suggest removing the term "Bundaberg" and leave it as just rum.  14:18, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't want to urinate on anybody's national pride, but there's nothing uniquely Australian about baked flour paste.  'Damper' just seems to be Aussie vernacular for a form of bread that's been produced all over the world for thousands of years.SpaceyHopper (talk) 21:33, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Additional Citations for Verification

message: In the book Bush food: Aboriginal food & herbal medicine, there is talk that some dampers were made with portulaca seed (wakati), or panicum seed. Not sure whether the term damper used in the book is correct or whether perhaps it were dampers but the flour was mixed of wheat & wakati/panicum. The recipes were from Winifred Hilliard & Molly Nungarai. 
Look into it

message: just wondering why salt has not been included as a key ingredient? i have adjusted the ingredients of damper in the third paragraph as that para discusses the history of it, removing milk (the reference near the ingredients did not mention milk, although it did mention using a milk dish when making it), and adding salt, so the only ingredients are flour, salt, and water as shown in The Colonial Magazine and Commercial Maritime Journal of 1840, referenced in the article.

message: Given bicarb soda isn't listed as an ingredient I don't think this can be characterised as 'soda bread'. In reality, it's an unleavened bread made usually from nothing more than flour and water. 2001:8004:5180:3147:7135:23AC:39AA:5F78 (talk) 06:42, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
