The British lay claim to cutting up some potatoes and serving it with fish. Im almost certain that was done in the America's (where potatoes are from) several thousand years ago.

On the other hand, mixing sugar and egg whites, cooking and then adding cream and strawberries (not kiwifruit) in the hopes of shagging a cute Russian ballerina is quite sophisticated.

And for that very reason, esp. in re humping a ballerina, the type of thing in which separate but indentical contemporaneous solutions are likely to arise.

For example, consider Newton and Leibniz in re calculus. Also consider there was not the slightest chance of either getting their end away on the strength of some WGAF-other-than-a-deadset-aspy paper. Yet it happened nonetheless.

So moving right along to pavs: when one factors in the ballerina-humping possibilities, one finds an incentive in the form of an engorged and veinous prick for male persons to fashion a chilled confection attractive to slavic snatch on the hoof. So to speak.

Kiwis are grrrreat. Skin and all of this delicious fruit.

The kiwifruit skin is completely edible and makes this nutrient-dense fruit even more nutritious! A recent study shows that eating the skin triples the fiber intake compared to merely eating the flesh. And by not peeling the skin, you preserve much of the vitamin C content as well

Oh and, the Irish are going to pull your pants down.

The researchers who confirmed this were one Aussie and one kiwi. I know you velcro glove types don't really enjoy being faced with facts

Also, its a well known fact that provincial bakeries (and it holds just as true in Oz as anywhere else) do the best meat pies.

New world supermarket on Willis Street in Wellington does some of the best pies I've ever tasted. Whoever came up with their recipe should be knighted.

My gut-hunch is that it probably evolved in both countries. It seems the first record of it being called, "pavlova" is an Australian one, but it was published at a time when a similar thing was popular in New Zealand. So it seems entirely possible that it was "invented" in New Zealand, then adopted and named in Australia.

In any case, I couldn't give a shit who invented some sugary desert cake.

What I do care about is New Zealanders trying to argue that they invented meat pies and works burgers. That shit is entirely unacceptable. What else did you kiwis invent? Koalas, kangaroos and Holden utes? GTFO.

Pavlova is just a way of ruining a perfectly delicious meringue.

If you think pavlova is the same as meringue you are missing out. Pavlova has a moist, soft, marshmallowey interior,

Yes. Yes we did.

(Actually, I think we just claim our pies are better on average than yours given we probably both got the idea from the Brits and they probably nicked it from someone else.)

The idea that either Australia or NZ invented meat covered in pastry is one of the more absurd things I've ever heard.

Truth is neither NZ not Aus invented the desert .

Only the name.

We were the first to put pineapple and beetroot on a burger though.

The only thing better than a works burger is the look on Poms faces when you explain the ingredients.

The Great Sandy or the Desert Road?

Does NZ have any deserts? Seems to have ever other natural landscape.

Obviously doesn't have any desserts. We won't even give you the peach melba.

There's the Rangipo Desert on the volcanic plateau, but not the classic sandy deserts.

Yeah, the Rangipo Desert to the east of Mount Ruapehu. I've driven through it a few times and it's not really a desert. Not enough roadkill or weird serial killers.

I remember when I lived in NZ as a kid and we drove through it and my dad was all "we're going through the desert now..." and I was all "wat?"

Yeah, the Desert Road is probably super confusing for tourists.

That said, while it may not have miles and miles of sand it does have 3 ski fields and an artillery range.

I used to shop there and I love me a pavlova. My Mrs is massively allergic to kiwi fruit, does that mean I have to eat the Aussie version?

My mum does the best pavlova in the world btw

We went to the range as part of a school camp to Tongariro and Ngauruhoe. I got to shoot an SLR. It was neat. I liked how there was no safety gear.

My sister in-law puts finely sliced fresh mango on her's. It's delicious.

I see someone mentioned fish and chips or fush and chups - whichever works for you. Like pies, I'm not claiming NZ invented them, we don't have to invent everything, we're usually just better at it (aside from league, our bogans don't play sport so we always struggle there).

The worst thing about Aussie fish and chips, aside from the taste, is the price ... you can feed four people in NZ on the cost of one piece of fish and chips in Oz. The absolute worse fish and chips I've ever had in my life, including the time I had vinegar on my chips without being asked in London, is Doyles in Sydney. Every Sydneysider I know claims Doyles are the best fish and chips around and I've never eaten anything so greasy in my life - I'm feeling sick just thinking about it now!

(Don't take it personally Aussies, I do enjoy living here ...)

I'm not tired of it, I never liked it. I've never liked meringue in anything so it was up against it from the start and smothering the entire thing in cream takes something that was already sickly sweet and makes it too rich as well.

Meringue is a shit food and I could gladly go for the rest of my life without eating any more of it.

Yeah, I don't like sweetened insulation foam smothered in cream with a side of diabetes. Sucks to be me, I guess - I'll just have to live with not being a fat c*nt.

So what you're saying is that Pavlova is like heroin to you, if you started eating it you wouldn't be able to stop and would get fat.

Oh...so THAT's what this P epidemic I keep hearing about is. Fat c*nts eating too much Pav.

Jay Cee Cee, I haven't eaten pavlova in years. I still like it as a food item, but I don't eat it regularly. I am a bit fat, but not because I eat pavlova. I can like foods without having to eat them to excess.
