They burn the skin of the tongue, but they are so moorish.
My husband just shakes his head at the thought. He thinks vinegar is only good for cleaning the windows.

You cannot hold me responsible if you open the packet and ...............well you know!
I'll look for them today at IGA. Are they the rice cracker things?

We're planning our gardens at our new house and vegetable gardens are #1 on my list of must haves. We have an area 20m long along the fence beside the house where I'm going to sink rainwater tanks to use as growing containers for tomatoes, carrots, peas, beans, cukes and capsicum. Nothing beats fresh from the garden veggies for dinners.

It seems more like the Kiwis invented it & the Aussies named it.

Right at the end!

I had no idea there was so much debate over a desert.
I think I will tell my kiwi mates the Aussies invented it and my Aussie mates the kiwis did!

All the Kiwis or Australians did was to add some fruit to a British meringue recipe

Invented by the Greeks - They were called Artocreas. Meat spooned onto pastry. The Romans improved it with pastry slapped on the top
