The Australian Broadcasting Corporation team in Ultimo ordered breakfast for what looked like an early morning with a decent number of people to feed. Two full platters of breakfast wraps came out, one bacon and one veg, and those alone would have kept most of the room going. But the order was built to cover more than just the wrap crowd.

The Danishes sat alongside the Gluten Free Friands Platter, giving people a proper pastry option without leaving anyone short. Four Coconut Chia Pudding Cups added something lighter into the mix, the kind of thing that disappears quickly when people are grazing rather than sitting down to a proper plate. The Falafel Bites Platter and the Seasonal Fruit Platter rounded things out, keeping the savoury and fresh elements available well into the morning.

For a workplace like the ABC, where mornings tend to move fast, having food that holds up across a long stretch matters more than most people plan for. The fruit platter in particular would have been the last thing standing.
