Two Sundays ago, my friends and I drove to Binna Burra for lunch and bushwalking. I was looking forward to getting something to eat from the Lamington Teahouse. Being somewhat ignorant of the geography of south-east Queensland, I was unaware of just how high up Binna Burra is. I soon learned that in order to get to Binna Burra, one has to ascend a narrow windy mountain road on the side of the mountain with shear drops by the side. My driver was not the most cautious of drivers and consequently I found the drive anxiety provoking. As a result of this anxiety, by the time we reached Binna Burra, my appetite had somewhat diminished. I still desired food, but not the sizable meal I was expecting to have. So I ordered a toasted ham and cheese sandwich (as well as a couple of beers). When you order a toasted ham and cheese sandwich from a modest cafe like the Lamington Teahouse you pretty much know what you're getting. Not on this occasion. This toasted ham and cheese sandwich had an insane amount of ham in it. Honestly, I have never seen a sandwich of any description with this amount of ham in it. The cheese was quite generous too. Were my appetite stronger I probably would have appreciated this. As this was not the case I was only able to eat half the sandwich. It is also worth noting that my friends' dishes were also lavish in terms of portions. So, if you ever find yourself eating at the Lamington Teahouse, expect a lot of food for your dollar.
