14. Lamingtons

When I lived in Oz, I loved Lamingtons. My family had a restaurant but we didn't make them in the restaurant kitchen; we got them from the local bakery. Yum. Although there are loads of recipes on the internet, I've never attempted to make Lamingtons at home.

"A lamington is a dessert of Australian origin. It consists of squares of sponge cake coated first in a layer of traditionally chocolate sauce, then in desiccated coconut." Wikipedia

In Oz, we ate Vegemite on bread with butter and a huge amount of lettuce. It was the only way to make it palatable.

I also remember liking meat pies, essentially a street food purchased often at walk-up counters and eaten out of hand. Their cherry pies were a shock -- they left the pits in.
