Superb.

I had a chuckle at the Australian breakfast (steak and eggs). That isn't one you see very much nowadays. Of course, back in the day, particularly in rural areas, a meal wasn't a meal unless there were lamb chops served! I went to uni with some folks from the country who grew up on a sheep farm and said their mother literally cooked lamb chops at breakfast, lunch and dinner! The accompaniments varied - eggs at breakfast, "salad" (in Australia in those days that meant iceberg lettuce, sliced tomato if you were lucky or maybe grated carrot) at lunch and mashed potato at dinner!
