well we all know researchers skew results to fit their needs - it was and always will be an invention of Australia!  |

Does it really matter if it still tastes so good?

Don't think we do Team Australia anymore now that Abbott is gone. So there is no fear and shaming in being Un Australian.

We still do where the pavlova came from though! In the case of the pav I'm all for ignoring facts as it's Ours.

You know what boggles my mind about this? People are being paid to spend their lives researching the origins of a meringue.

The bigger question is who put the passionfruit on first.
I'll answer myself.
As it's the national fruit of both Australia and Cambodia, and the latter didn't invent the pav, then it has to be Australia.

We had 4 pavlovas at an event yesterday. I tried all of them.

I bet it's true origin is French or Viennese and it traveled across oceans with the recipe for beer.

I bet it's true origin is French or Viennese and it traveled across oceans with the recipe for beer. Sort of. There are lots of meringue desserts around Europe, such as the "windtorte", but they're made from several meringue shapes then iced or constructed together. The distinction of a pav is that it's a single meringue of cake proportions, and that apparently doesn't turn up in European cooking. |
