@hazardwarning The story goes back several decades to a major flood in Queensland in Australia. Many inland properties (cattle stations, we don't have ranches) were isolated by the floodwaters and were having supplies dropped in by air. A drop-proof way of packaging rum was devised, consume ¼ of the contents, hollow out a loaf of bread and stuff the rum bottle inside. This was normally quite successful but on one occasion, the dropper forgot to recap the bottle before dropping the loaf.
When the floods had passed & the dropper was on a regular visit to that station, he apologised for his error to the station owner.
The reply was typical Queenslander-style. "Doesn't matter. I just made up my favourite dessert. Bread & butter pudding."
