Thats why the food is the best part of traveling!If I were to ask you about your favourite lamington, or pav, or savoury damper, I imagine you'd have a similar response to the Aussies.

Seriously though what are lamington, or pav, or savoury damper? I am not taking a long shot thinking they are foods as we are talking about foods.That is what is interesting to me how we take for granted something we think as the ' norm ' is not at all the ' norm ' elsewhere. Even here in the states there are different words depending on the state your in for the same thing. Example hoagie, grinder or sub.

I got my lamington yesterday! Took a couple of stops because all the cafes that usually have them didn't.

Yah I was gonna type an apology on that. It STILL sounds funny to me though. You wouldnāt want to eat a heating duct either!HaHa hamper! Damper is on your heating system duck work
Pavlova is a meringue-based dessert with a soft inside and fruit on top.
Lamingtons are small sponge cakes with chocolate and dessicated coconut coating. They may have a layer of jam inside.
Damper is a thick home-made bread.

All sound really delicious to me. Love home made bread. Fruits as desserts are my favorite I would probably even like a Lamington. I don't typically like cake but a little sponge cake is ok. Put chocolate and coconut on it and I'm in big time. Very cool
Thank you
Same word different meaning or different words for the same thing. That is one of the things that make language interesting. My husband knows Italian and sometimes I think I know what he is talking about and I'm waaay off.Yah I was gonna type an apology on that. It STILL sounds funny to me though.

I think Lamingtons are sometimes made with a raspberry coating rather than chocolate and still coated in coconut. That sounds like the raspberry Zingers without the creme filling.All sound really delicious to me. Love home made bread. Fruits as desserts are my favorite I would probably even like a Lamington.

Pavlova actually evolved over time in several countries. It is something that took off in Australia and New Zealand.
The surprising truth about pavlovaās origins
You're right, I don't usually have the raspberry coating ones and had quite forgotten about them.
Raspberry would be good but without the seeds!
No seeds in these coatings!

I think you ate one for all of us, so thank you. Donāt worry I evened it out by having salad.āDamperāsā back story is it dampened down the appetite in the outback in between meals on those long, long treks. (On your way to finding a bagel
).
