Recipes as a commentary on politics

Saturday we had the Federal Election - a bit of a debacle. In honour of the event I was planning to cook something from the Cookbook. I had a look through and found "Canberra Charms" a strange take on the cream puff. You fill them with an appetising combination of cold hard boiled egg, small dice of beetroot and a sprinkling of ground nuts.

What has more caught my fancy and more indicative of the state of affairs at the moment - Canberra Custard. I am planning to make it for Thursday night at my sister Marie's place. It is a simple vanilla custard with stale sponge cake soaked in before cooking and then scattered with almonds. I leave the metaphors to you.
