Australia. Associated with Australia by the book is about Australian cookery (Cooking, Australian); the recipe itself names no place (confidence 0.4). "Associated with" means only that the evidence named here links this recipe to that place. A recipe isn't labelled as representing an entire country because a source associates it with one, and regional origins are kept where the source gives them.

  4. Boil the eggs hard and cut them in slices and arrange in a plain mould or dish, then lay in the veal and ham, and season with pepper and salt.
  5. Strain and flavour the gravy, add the lemon juice, and pour it over the meat.
  6. Set aside until quite cold, then turn out.
  7. This is a very nice breakfast or luncheon dish.
