The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development had a solid lunch order come through to Sydney recently, and it was the kind of brief that made practical sense from the start. Seventeen sandwich, wrap and baguette platters alongside three fully vegetarian packs meant the team had plenty to move around the room without anyone needing to check labels twice. The vegetarian packs being ordered separately was a small but useful decision, keeping things straightforward for whoever was setting up.
The seasonal fruit platter sat alongside the savouries as a natural counterpoint, and the chocolate macadamia brownies and assorted mini muffins gave the table something to linger over once the main eating was done. For a government department running what felt like a working lunch, the brownies in particular tend to disappear before people have finished their meetings.
