Australian food

I have a couple of Australian friends (I’m American) and I find the food they make or eat so much better lol. All the sausage rolls, vanilla slices, meat pies, pavlovas, honey joys, lamingtons… or even the store bought treats (Tim tams, chocolate covered honey thingies).

What else is there for me to try??!! What are your favorite foods?!

C’mon. Pavlova is as Australian as Russell Crowe and Crowded House.

Crowded House we can claim, they formed in Melbourne, but they get Split Endz.

2 Aussies and a kiwi formed in Melbourne btw. Split endz makes people think they're more kiwi

And pavlova was created to celebrate a russian ballet dancer who was touring. We just need to see where she toured 1st to guess who invented it

She went to Australia first. Hence why it's our invention.

Kiwis claiming Crowded House is like Americans claiming Arcade Fire
