Greetings to Tabouli and our other Australian listies!  I have a 
request...

I'm a Unit Helper with a Rainbow Guides unit--Gumnuts in your 
country.  Y'know, wee tiny Girl Guides.  Well this term we're 
focusing on Rainbows around the world and decided that Australia is 
one of the countries we'll be focusing on.  Only thing is, we want to 
have a national/traditional dish (just something simple) for our 
girls to try, but when it came to thinking up an Aussie national dish 
we were stumped.  Please pardon the stereotype, but the only thing we 
could think of was a BBQ, which would be all and well on camp, but my 
guess is that indoor BBQs would (1) not be covered by the buildings 
insurance; (2) really piss off the owners of the hall we rent; (3) 
send 15 under-7's home without any eyebrows.

Of course, the thought of letting a few of our "darlings" play with 
lighter fluid has crossed our minds...

:::::returns from slamming her ears in the over door:::::

So anyway, we're stumped.  Then I told the other leaders about these 
*wonderful* listies I knew who would be more than happy to grant us 
their expertise and help us out :)  All we're after is something 
really simple that we can quickly prepare beforehand and feed to the 
girls with minimal fuss and mess. Sooooo...any suggestions from you 
wonderful folk?

Thanks in advance!

for Leaders if they need her help!)
