My search for the perfect Lamington ended this morning. If you don’t know what a Lamington is, you’re not alone. Yes, even I hadn’t heard of one, until a posted a picture of the Chocolate-Coconut Marshmallows from The Sweet Life in Paris on my Flickr page and they were mistaken for Lamingtons Wine.


So almost immediately upon landing in Australia I had it in my sights to find a good Lamington, explaining to a group I was with it appealed so much to be because it had my three favorite things stacked into one: chocolate, coconut, and marshmallows. There was only one problem – that’s not what a Lamington is. Was my face red as I sat amongst a group of food-savvy Australians, who quickly corrected me, and set me straight about me what a proper Lamington is Wine Searcher.

(I didn’t feel so bad because I often have to set visitors to where I live straight about what a café au lait is, which is not something served in any café in France Serviced Apartment.)
