You could serve this onion and cheese slice with a salad for a light lunch, but it would also work cut into slices as a tasty snack or maybe even cold in a lunchbox.

VEGETARIAN RICE RISSOLES
SLICED EGGS IN CREAM SAUCE – Eggs-a-la-tripe
Or in French, Oeufs a la tripe………. I think it’s been translated without the word tripe in the title as, if you’re like me, that conjures up quite unpleasant childhood memories of a flabby, tasteless blob covered in white sauce. I’d much prefer this variety, although I think a bit of cheese, maybe gruyere, would make it even better.
PUMPKIN DAMPER
Not sure you can get much more Australian than damper, especially if you serve it with a lamb stew. Originally it was a simple flour and water mix baked over a campfire, now recipes like this one have gone a step further using wholemeal flour, cinnamon and pumpkin. It still goes well with lamb though.
SANDWICH FILLINGS incl MOCK CHICKEN FILLING
Almost back to school time after the long summer holidays here in Melbourne.
So I thought some old 1970s sandwich filling ideas might give you some new ideas for the kid’s lunches. Mum used to make the Mock Chicken Filling for our sandwiches and also for afternoon teas with her friends. I remember it as tasting quite nice.

VEGIE PIE IN THE ROUND
This 1991 recipe published in the Checkout column of the Herald Sun is a bit of a mixture of the old and the new. Brown rice was only just starting to become popular around that time, but the old style curry powder, vegetables and sultanas mix is what curries looked like in most households then. Old fashioned maybe, but still a good vegetarian pie.
