I need to prepare an international menu with a couple of friends.

lamingtons are fantastic
pavlova is good too but its actually from new zealand

>australian cuisine

We don't have much in the way of aus-specific foods.

Lamingtons are about the only "dessert" that comes to mind.

Haha. You're not going to find anything of great interest.

There's some overlap with New Zealand, but check out neenish tarts, pavlovas, lamingtons, Iced Vovos, chocolate crackles, and fairy bread. Very unsophisticated stuff.

See, that's already better than I initially thought.

I think I'm going with the sponge cake and the pavlovas since my folks seem to appreciate meringue.

>>7291196
I would do this one for the fun though. Kek

>>7291192
That seems more like a delicacy. Can't spend the whole menu on Australia unfortunately.

>>7291146
You might be better off looking at native ingredients. Our traditional recipes are childish and bland. Not bad, but not impressive.

Search for desserts containing lemon myrtle, pepper berries/Tasmanian pepper, lilly pilly, and/or finger lime. Recipes you find will be unfamiliar to most Australians because settlers are only recently starting to explore the possibilities of our native plants in cuisine, but you can still convincingly claim they have an Australian flavour.

Just make a fuckin pav. We all pretend it's Australian even though it's nz, but nz is still Oceania right? Pavs are fuckin heaven. Heaps of cream, mango, strawberry kiwi fruit and passionfruit over the top.

>>7291223
If you do this, make certain you use the passionfruit. That addition was our innovation. As minor a contribution as it is, it does improve the whole thing significantly.

>>7291223
Looks good. Taking notes on the ingredients.

>>7291205
Lamingtons are actually really amazing despite being simple.

Legend goes that bakers used to dice up their left-over sponge cakes from yesterday's batch, roll them in the chocolate and coconut and that's how Lamingtons came into existence.

>>7291146
You've already got as much advice as there is to give, but I'd just like to note how weird it is to collapse Asia with Oceania for something like this. Even combining the entirety of Asia together has its problems, so adding the vast variety within Oceania is just making things ridiculous. This is a group of self-contained island nations, some of them dominated by European settlement, each one doing its own thing culturally. There is little in the way of common ground here.

Is it for school, or just some social dinner party game, or what?

>Asia has shit desserts

>has never tried mochi ice cream

ANZAC bikkies

Also my Nan used to make the best rhubarb pie.

Pineapple right-side-up cake.

>>7291375
Kind of funny, but I also feel you might have lucked into it by simply going for the standard "southern hemisphere = upside down" gag without appreciating the significance of the pineapple to Australian "cuisine."

>>7291394
Blind luck, anon, blind luck.

Grossest so far.

How are Australians still alive?

>>7291599
Cut out the chocolate icing and it's perfect.

>>7291192
We don't eat those, sorry.
