Woman dies in lamington eating contest on Australia Day (first time I've ever heard of a lamington).

Years ago I was out and about in London with one of my Australian cousins and we bumped into a then colleague of mine on the train. Somehow the subject of lamingtons came up, with the colleague insisting that they exclusively came in a pink coating and my cousin saying that this was not the case at all. It got quite heated, the colleague refusing to concede the point to someone who might reasonably be expected to know more about the things. It only occurred to me later that the colleague's only visit to Australia had been for Pride one year, perhaps giving him an unrepresentative lamington experience.
They don't look very appetising.

The first (and last) time I encountered Lamingtons were when they were being sold by the Aussie mum of one of my son's primary school classmates at the school's "International Day" event, though the occasion sticks in my mind mainly because of the mum rather than the somewhat unappealing tucker.Last edited by Nocturnal Submission; 27-01-2020, 23:43.

I came across them when I lived in NZ, so clearly they crossed the Ditch at some point. I must've eaten at least one then sworn never again. They're sort of fluffy and light yet bland, stodgy and desiccated at the same time, somehow less than the sum of their parts.
In my mind's eye they're always pink too, by the way.

Who? MsD?
That must be handy at getting a good view of the stage at Giuda gigs.Last edited by Nocturnal Submission; 28-01-2020, 14:10.
