Pavlova
A meringue type dessert named after the famous Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. Recently proved by the Oxford dictionary to have originated from NZ with recipes from the 1920s, while the Aussies can only produce recipes for this dessert from the 1940s.

Kiwi's do have to move to Aussie sometimes, but in our graves we don't deserve to be labeled Aussies.
I am sorry Australians are not proud to be Australian for honest reasons.

They said MEAT PIE not Honey pie!!!
Added 12 years ago by guest, 4 points
The beginning of the meat pie can be traced back to the Neolithic Period around 9500 BC to the ancient Egyptians where rustic ancient pies were known as galettes. Galettes were oat, wheat, rye, and barley concoctions filled with honey and baked over hot coals

I have heard this one before but I don't know one Aussie that thinks Split Enz is Australian. We all know where they come from. You sure Kiwis aren't making this stuff up?

Invented in 1920 in Brisbane as a replacement to the granrose biscuit from nz, because the granrose was apparently disgusting
Added 10 years ago by guest, 1 point
Also funny how you say it was developed in the 1920's when Newzealand already had it .!!
" Sanitarium's original wheat biscuit, Granose, was marketed in New Zealand during the early 1900s, not only as a breakfast cereal but also as an alternative to bread"
Aussies just steal everything then try & cover it up PINEAPPLE LUMPS ARE ALSO OURS
Added 12 years ago by guest, 2 points
Developed, but was produced and sold first in newzealand! plus sanitarium was founded by a newzealand guy david halsey so regardless NEWZEALAND
Added 12 years ago by guest, -1 points
Weet-Bix, the cereal, was developed by Bennison Osborne in NSW, Australia in the mid 1920s.

If you hear the writers take on where this came from, st was not stolen from the Brit's. As for Aussie's taking it, when?! Can't even watch it in Australia so I'd say this one is crap!

I have no idea if the Aussies stole this one from NZ but I do know for a fact that NZ stole it from the UK... a little show called Shameless directly 'inspired' Outrageous Fortune.
