  Depends who’s making it! The kitchen manager at work occasionally brings in a jelly slice and it’s just magnificent. I don’t know what she does but it’s divine. No lamingtons have ever topped the size and freshness of the ones I used to get in primary school on their annual fundraising lamington drive. I adore hedgehog, but there are too many dry lacklustre examples out there, and I’ve been frequently disappointed. As for pav, a perfect pav is food of the gods but again, so many meh ones out there. And vanilla slice is frequently an abomination, but a really good one is just… Hey can you guys just hang on a sec? Inches towards front door I’ll, um, I’ll be back in a minute, I’ve just got to, um, put petrol in the car dashes out door without car keys

    did you know timtams are a pale australian copy of the original French patisserie small biscuit cake

    iow, they are all delicious if made well with good ingredients

    but I think pavs are most likely to be delicious, pretty hard to ruin fresh cream and fruit

      Tim Tam’s were based off the english Penguins.

  pavlova with cream and fruit

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Preferred fruit?

    source

    • Pilk@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      All of them, but especially strawberry, blueberries, mango, passionfruit juice

      source
• MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Vanilla slice if I had to pick. Prefer the European versions of it though.

  source
• SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Both vanilla slice and lamington. Why limit yourself to one. But lamington must have jam.

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Seriously considering making lamingtons this weekend.

    source
• Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Probably jelly slice but I’m not sure what it is as I haven’t seen one.

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Ok. Let me explain. It has a biscuit base like a cheese cake. The middle is like a panna cotta (like a really really weak custard made with condensed milk) and jelly on top. When it’s done really well, it beats all the rest because it’s not sickly sweet.

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Oh then that’s probably not for me.

      Lamington but has to have jam in it.

        If you’re at a kid’s party and a grandmother has made them, give them a go.

  Jelly slice. Haven’t seen one of those for aaaages. They’re yum too.

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Yes, yes, yes.

    source
• Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Mint slice

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Ok I’ll have to add this now.

    source
• Eagle@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Lemon slice, then jelly slice a close second and vanilla third.

  source
• imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  If made by my ex-housmate’s partner - hedgehog

  In the wild (and this might be influenced by the fact I have not had a good one since having to be GF) vanilla slice

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    I’ve never made a pav because my mum makes good ones.

    If you go to a Gotham Doughnuts they do an awesome V which is a donut cross Vanilla slice in GF. I’m not responsible if you choose other GF delicacies.

    • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Oh awesome. I will add that to my list of places to suss out

      source

      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I’ve eaten them. You can’t tell the difference. 5/5.

• calhoon2005@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  No lemon slice?

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Shit. I’ll add it to the list.

    source
• just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Pavlova. I don’t really like the others and detest lamingtons. No, I guess I’ll never get my Australian citizenship…

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Oh hun. You have hurt me deep.

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    What’s your preferred topping?

    source

    • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      raspberry and strawberry, or passion fruit.

      source
• Force_majeure123@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Vanilla slice by a considerable margin

  source
• LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

  Can I say fairy bread? Or chocolate ripple cake?

  But if I had to pick, probably hedgehog or pavlova. I’ve never had a jelly slice before!

  • Alamutjones@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago
