Aussie Lamingtons - Heaven
Haven't had these for over 20 years since Oz days. Never made before. Yummy. Sponge 'laminated' in chocolate runny icing/sauce and dipped in coconut (that's not why they're called Lamingtons -see - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamington 'Friday 21 July 2006 was designated as National Lamington Day in Australia' ) . Since John doesn't like chocolate much I will experiment with my favourite 50% fruit jam made into a sauce instead of the chocolate - jamingtons?

Crocodile Dundee, Koala bears and Lamingtons, what else could possible say Australia? Oops, I forgot the cold beer and barbie!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever eaten the chocolate variety, but when I was in primary school, we used to get a something very much like what you are describing for John. It came in one of those big school dinners tins, with a layer of strawberry jam and sprinkled with coconut, It was served with hot custard.
By the way, who exactly is eating all this delicious food that you are churning out?!
