Our love and support for all things Australian



ANZAC Day – 25 April – is probably Australia's most important national occasion. It marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.  Australians recognise 25 April as an occasion of national remembrance.  ANZAC Day is a time when Australians reflect on the many different meanings of war & we commemorate those who died in the war.


With ANZAC Day upon us we at The Bossley Park General Store & Deli would like to honour those lives lost at war.  And celebrate the produce we have in Australia that makes us so fortunate.  Celebrating all good things Australian,  here are a few Australian Made products from some successful family run businesses.  

We hope you enjoy and  appreciate them as much as we do.

Tasmanian Gourmet Kitchen

Are a small family-run business based in Longford, in the Northern Midlands region of Tasmania. They aim to support local growers and make use of the best produce available in season. That is why their quality handmade  savory marmalades and chutneys taste so good. Here are some of our personal favourites...

Bill's Beetroot Marmalade
A wonderful blend of the sweet earthy tones of beetroot combined with the zing of ginger – this chutney goes with everything!

Red Pepper Marmalade
A delicious product made from char-grilled red capsicum peppers (so it is not chilli hot!).   It's called 'marmalade' as the recipe includes plenty of citrus to compliment the smoky smooth taste of the red peppers.



Fresh Fodder
Fresh Fodder was established in Orange NSW by Max Schofield in 2008. From his small commercial kitchen Max and the team at Fresh Fodder constantly strive to provide a great range of dips, salads and antipasto that focuses on great quality flavours.
Take a look at the complete range:

If you would like more information on how you could celebrate this ANZAC Day take a look at this link:

and maybe use this recipe we found to make some ANZAC Biscuits and of course we have all the ingredients you will need.

Anzac Biscuits 

A group of women during World War 1 decided to make biscuits to send to the soldiers 

that would provide nutrition and keep for a long time. They were originally called Soldiers 

biscuits but after Gallipoli the name was changed to Anzac biscuits. 


Anzac Biscuits are still a favourite treat amongst Australians today and are very easy to 
make. 

Recipe for Anzac Biscuits. 
1 cup rolled oats 
1 cup plain flour 
1 cup sugar 
¾ cup coconut 
125g (4oz) butter 
2 tablespoons golden syrup 
½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 
1 tablespoon boiling water 

1) Combine oats, sifted flour, sugar and coconut. 
2) Combine butter and golden syrup, stir over gentle heat in a small saucepan until 
melted. 
3) Mix bicarbonate of soda with boiling water in a teacup. Add to melted butter mixture. 
Pour into dry ingredients and stir. 
4)  Place tablespoonfuls of mixture on oven trays (for easy cleanup place a piece of 
baking paper on the tray) 
5) Cook in a slow oven for 20 minutes. Makes about 35. 
6) Try and stop your family eating them while they are still warm and soft.  
Once they are cool they will go harder and you can store them in a container. 

Enjoy.

With Regards,
The Deli Family
