Ajay Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hmmmm. I know that Pavlova is a tradtional Australian cake, and you can buy them ready-made in the supermarkets. They're made with beaten eggwhites, but I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to? Good luck and let s all know when you find out.CheersAjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sa2auz Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hi thereAs Ajay said there is the pav. The pavs I had in SA were generally hard meringue but here in Aus the bought ones and the homemade ones I have had in SA have a hard outside but the inside in soft like stiff egg whites. The baked Alaska I have had is icecream with beaten egg whites on top and but into a very hot often so the egg white cooks quickly without the icecream melting too much.Let us know where you had it and maybe we can help further.

Bob Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 sounds to me like a "Pav" (Pavlova)While we're on the topic, check out a "lamington" at the corner store some time. . . . . just a thought. . . . . with an Iced coffee, of course ( that is "Iced" . . . not "Arsed"! Get your pronunciation right!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZHigh Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Sounds like Pavlova, a traditional New Zealand (& Aussie) fav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
