Lamington Day
Lamington Day
Happy Lamington Day!
Today, we celebrate the delicious Australian pastry, the Lamington! This delightful treat consists of squares of sponge cake dipped in chocolate and then rolled in desiccated coconut. But did you know that lamingtons are said to bear a resemblance to a certain hairy cryptid?
The Yowie, a hairy, ape-like creature said to roam the mountainous regions of Australia, is sometimes described as having fur that resembles the texture of desiccated coconut. So, next time you enjoy a lamington, you might be thinking of the Yowie!
We hope you have a chance to enjoy a lamington (or two) today!
