“Those bloody poofy woolly biscuits”, Lord Lamington said himself, absolutely not reading the room.

We just know that during the birth of one of Australia’s most iconic desserts, one French chef had a full-blown meltdown due to the diva himself, Lord Lamington.

The lamington’s origin story hits different when you realise it’s basically the 1890s version of: “Emergency—guests are about to arrive, and I’ve got the culinary skills of a tradie who thinks a pie warmer is fine dining”. Lord Lamington’s French (most likely gorgeous) chef panicked, had a stroke of genius, grabbed leftover sponge cake, dipped it into the chocolate, rolled it around in coconut, and called it a day.

Plot twist: While Lord Lamington absolutely hated his namesake dessert, everyone else loved it, and Australia collectively said, “We’ll take it from here, thanks.”
