I was checking about Boston buns with a younger sibling ('cause I can be as wrong as anyone) re the inclusion of currants or sultanas and he said, Nah, none of that, but remember how we used to spread the butter?
Yep. As thick as the icing. A really good sweet & fat hit-

Hit in one Lyndon: while the name came to ANZ, the teacake known as a Sally Lunn (made with a light yeast dough with dried fruit but not iced) didnt...Sally Lunns are associated with Bath (but are *not* the same as a Bath bun.) Info courtesy my English grandmother's cookbook, but probably much more uptodate in Wikipedia...

Luncheon sausage was also called Belgian sausage (it was originally German sausage but changed with WW1.) Segg was marketed as having 'steak & egg" flavour.

Waimate is also home to one of my nieces and her family...Oamaru is where my mother & her brothers were born (and she lives again in the house in which she was brought up.) Two Matches-from-Totara women married two Millers-from-Purakaunui men and shifted to Oamaru at the turn of the 19th & 20th centuries...there's a *lot* of descendants.
One of the neat aspects of 'baiting here is the flounders tend to follow the incoming 'bait shoals...it's not uncommon to wind up with both in your net (only 7 months & 24 days to go...courage, self!)
