You were dead right c&p enjoying each others company. Everybody in the group contributed to that feast, was supposed to be our fairwell, but the cruiser is still in garage, and we had food over, so probably have left overs this evening
So enjoying the company of all the GN.
Life is hard on the road isn't it.
I think we can claim the pav as being a NZ thing,don't you all agree.???

I am sooo envious, and not just about the food!
I've just emailed my friend in Malanda that she should go over and sample that Pav to see if it's an Aussie one or a Kiwi one!

Ah, would love to be partaking of the feast with you all, but time is coming around for us to be off again, so our time will come! However........
I found in one of my many cook books that: 'the pavlova was created in 1935 by chef Bert Sachse while he was working at Perth's Esplanade Hotel. He made it in honour of the hotel's most distinguished guest of previous years, the gret prima ballerina Anna Pavlova. It is now considered to be a national dish.'

Damned technology .... especially when it won't work ..... here is a 'transript from Wikipedia -
QUOTE -
Origin
Research shows the recipe originated in New Zealand.[6] Keith Money, a biographer of Anna Pavlova, wrote that a hotel chef in Wellington, New Zealand, created the dish when Pavlova visited there in 1926 on her world tour.[7]
Professor Helen Leach, a culinary anthropologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand, has compiled a library of cookbooks containing 667 pavlova recipes from more than 300 sources.[6] Her book, The Pavlova Story: A Slice of New Zealands Culinary History, states that the first Australian pavlova recipe was created in 1935 while an earlier version was penned in 1929[2] in the rural magazine.[1]
The Australian website "Australian Flavour" gives the earlier date of 1926 for its creation, suggesting that Home Cookery for New Zealand, by Australian writer Emily Futter, contained a recipe for "Meringue with Fruit Filling". This recipe was similar to today's version of the dessert.[8]
It has been claimed that Bert Sachse created the dish at the Esplanade Hotel in Perth, Australia in 1935.[6][9] In defence of his claim as inventor of the dish, a relative of Sachse's wrote to Leach suggesting that Sachse may have accidentally dated the recipe incorrectly. Leach replied they would not find evidence for that "because it's just not showing up in the cookbooks until really the 1940s in Australia." (However, a 1937 issue of the Australian Women's Weekly contains a "pavlova sweet cake" recipe.[10]) Of such arguments, Matthew Evans, a restaurant critic for The Sydney Morning Herald, said that it was unlikely that a definitive answer about the pavlova's origins would ever be found. "People have been doing meringue with cream for a long time, I don't think Australia or New Zealand were the first to think of doing that."[11]
The first known recorded recipe named "pavlova" was published in the fifth Australian edition of Davis Dainty Dishes in 1926.[2] However this "pavlova" recipe was not meringue based, but was instead a multi-coloured gelatine dish.
A newspaper article from January 1927 claims an American ice-cream was named after Pavlova: "Dame Nellie Melba, of course, has found fame apart from her art in the famous sweet composed of peaches and cream, while Mme. Anna Pavlova lends her name to a popular variety of American ice-cream."

Have to agree with all thats written here. As you can see I am sitting on the fence. One foot either side.
I did see a doco some time back, a chap who showed an hotel in Brisbane. He said his ggggggrandfather, not sure how many g's was a famous chef and invented the pavlova at the particular hotel. I think he might have been fibbing!!!!
