    Australian here. They (NZ) invented it. We (queenslanders, specifically) invented the Lamington, their claims not withstanding.

  Unsure if confused by desert/dessert or a kiwi disputing the origin, but it’s effectively a meringue nest that is crunchy outside and marshmallowy inside topped with cream and fruit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlova_(cake) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlova_(cake)
