OPINION:
The humble lamington has had many an upgrade over the years, from lemon curd varieties to Caramilk creations.
But one thing remains true: The lamington is a born Australian delicacy.
However, it seems an established New Zealand chef has gotten her cakes crossed somewhere along the way, dubbing the lamington a "Kiwi classic" on tonight's debut season 2 episode of The Great Kiwi Bake Off on Foxtel's LifeStyle Food channel.
Sue Fleischl, who is a judge on the beloved reality baking series and also runs a multimillion-dollar catering company, was discussing the amateur bakers' lamington cooking challenge, and made this stunning declaration: "Lamingtons, a true Kiwi classic".
